Trump says he would have done 'nothing' differently to stop pandemic as death toll nears 94,000

Donald Trump has said he would have done “nothing” differently to stop the spread of the coronavirus - even as a new Columbia University model indicates that going into lockdown two weeks earlier would have saved 54,000 American lives. The country’s death toll is currently approaching 94,000.

The president also revealed that he will stop taking the controversial anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine ”in two days” and spent much of Wednesday attacking the election battleground states of Michigan and Nevada for allowing postal voting, which he insisted promotes “a lot of illegality” but was unable to explain how when quizzed by reporters.

Trump also renewed his war of words with China on Twitter, accusing it of engaging in a “massive disinformation campaign” over Covid-19 and causing “panic and carnage” around the world, his remarks coinciding with the release of a new White House report reaching similar conclusions.

His whole life is a chain of poor decisions. The choice to run for the WH was the worse one, at least for all Americans.

Nothing = Nothing
Nothing + Nothing = Nothing
Nothing - Nothing = Nothing
Nothing x Nothing = Nothing
Nothing / Nothing = Nothing (The so-called experts say it's "1", but what do they know?!)
Nothing + Changing Nothing = Still Nothing
Nothing x Per Capita = Many Nothing Per Capitas
SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
