Bill Gates Hits Trump's Coronavirus Boast With A Blunt Reality Check

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Billionaire Bill Gates had a blunt assessment of President Donald Trump’s attempt to whitewash his failed response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Trump on Sunday falsely claimed that the United States has “one of the lowest mortality rates in the world” and “maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world,” while holding up a chart that showed otherwise during a Fox News interview.

In an interview with CBS News, Gates offered up a fact check.

“Not at all, not even close,” Gates told CBS. “By almost every measure, the U.S. is one of the worst.”

As PolitiFact notes, there are a number of ways of looking at mortality rates. The United States is not one of the lowest, or the lowest, in any of them.

1. glad to see him speaking up

on the lies that trump tells. There have been 20000+ lies spewed from his face since he took office. Verified lies. Open, boldface, I don't care that they are lies. "I could go out on 5th Avenue and shoot someone" and his base wouldn't care especially if the person shot is a minority quote of his just as bad as his lies. Trump is a verifiable psycho
