Trump on US coronavirus deaths: ‘It is what it is’

President Donald Trump said the United States' staggering death toll from coronavirus "is what it is" in a new interview, again giving his administration credit for its response despite ongoing surges in new cases and a human toll that far outpaces that of any other nation.
When confronted with the US' daily death toll and Trump's messaging on the pandemic during an interview with Axios on HBO that aired Monday night, the President grew defensive and appeared frustrated by Jonathan Swan's questions about the crisis.
"I've gone to your rallies. I've talked to your people. They love you. They listen to you. They listen to every word you say. They hang on your every word," Swan said. "And so when they hear you say, 'everything's under control. Don't worry about wearing masks,' I mean, these are people — many of them are older people."
"Well, what's your definition of control?" Trump replied, adding: "I think it's under control."
"How? A thousand Americans are dying a day," Swan said.
"They are dying. That's true. And you — it is what it is," Trump said emphatically. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it."
Trump has frequently defended his administration's performance to the pandemic but rarely expresses grief for the victims. When the US surged past 100,000 confirmed deaths in late May — after weeks of Trump projecting a toll well short of that mark — the President declined to make a public statement until the next day, tweeting about the victims amid a morning tweetstorm of insults and grievances.
When pressed on the US death toll in the Axios interview, Trump repeatedly pointed to the proportion of deaths to confirmed coronavirus cases, rather than the proportion of deaths to the US population, a figure that is arguably more telling of the state of the pandemic in the country given that the US has less than 5% of the world's population but around 25% of global deaths from Covid-19.

    1. trump makes me feel a shame of being a human 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️ If Aliens are watching they are laughing.

    1. @Agolf Twittler “I like your optimism. It makes me feel good to believe in fairy-tales. You should run for president, because we need a leader is who is not bogged down by troublesome realities.”
      – about 40% of the country

    2. Shame on you all.
      I know CNN is anti Trump,but this is not right.
      People are watching,and we deserve better news than this.

    1. Can anyone provide me the data if mask work or lockdown work? Lockdown has cause the U.S. $30 Trillions in debt and millions of people out of a job. I don’t think mask work and lockdown work even if it does I will not force people to wear a mask because is hard to breathe and force people to lockdown because it’s taking away our freedom. In the U.S. alone more than 2.8 million people died in the U.S. last year and we did not shutdown the economy. Instead of blaming Donald Trump people need to take responsibility. I will give you just 5 facts that can lower America’s deaths.
      1. Eat healthy
      2. Exercise
      3. Don’t drink and drive
      4. Avoid smoking
      5. Stop commiting crimes

    1. Damn, I’m late for the pun.
      How bout “it is what it is” and “I am what I am” ?? . . 🤣😁🤪

  1. He got stuck and said, “you can’t do that!”
    Trump might as well have said, “mommy the game is cheating again!”

  2. I couldn’t have done this interview, I would have slapped him especially when he pulls out charts and argues

    1. 9:01 I think Jonathan’s patience ran dry. I’m surprised Trump didn’t see the eye roll 🤣🤣🤣

    2. Ms Linda Lmao it was pretty funny! Poor guy looks like he wanted to grab Trump and shake some sense into him.

    1. They’ll just use clips from it unedited and without commentary and be like “Nailed it… are they still serving breakfast across the street?”

  3. “We’re last meaning we’re first”

    I’m actually surprised he hasn’t said this sooner as an excuse for one of his other failings.

      Corinthians 15: 1-4
      Romans 10: 9-10
      John 3:16

      SALVATION!!…..

      THE GOSPEL 
      1 Corinthians 15:1-4

      1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
      3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
      4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

      ITS THIS SIMPLE!
      God created us to be with him
      Our sins separate us from God
      Sins cannot be removed by good deeds
      Paying the price for sin, Jesus Christ was crucified for us, died and rose again
      Everyone who trusts in him alone has eternal life
      Life with Jesus Christ starts now and lasts forever!

      How to be saved in Jesus Christ….
      The ABCs of salvation
      A- Admit you are a sinner
      Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one
      Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      B- Believe that Jesus Christ paid for your sins at the cross
      Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
      C- Confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and call upon him

      13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

      We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are born sinners.
      Jesus Christ meets us where we are at and changes us after the fact.

      JUSTIFIED= Just if ID never sinned in the first place
      Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

      Repent(Change your mind about your sin condition and understand that you are a sinner deserving death) and be born again in Jesus Christ….
      John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
      Receive the Holy Spirit….

      2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

      Always follow the money ..

    1. He kind of just says whatever he wants people to hear. Probably why he frequently interrupts people.

    2. @Robert Athey I mean get real, you are projecting what you clowns do with Trump. You idiots go to rallies during a pandemic and he tells you not to believe science, and you do it. Just ask Herman Cain how that worked for him

    1. Also, every great figure in history has devoted followers and bitter enemies. Trump has done some shameful things, yes, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t made some great contributions to the nation. So next time, think about both sides of the problem before you go around criticising blatantly

    2. @Rita Liao Mate, people are going to destroy you for that comment. So just take this as a more reasonable approach to other answers you might read. You’re wrong. He only contributes to himself. Period.

    1. @Samson 001 yo idiot I’m 60 years old and there’s always been wars and rumors of wars you realize all the apostles thought that Jesus would be back to get them to write

    2. @Samson 001 but when you do realize that Samson was based around this other guy named Hercules and most of the stories in the Bible are barred from some other culture right

    3. Terry Strayer you still have time! I pray you wake up and accept Jesus Christ as your savior! Not much time left
