Trump Declares Mission Accomplished
May 1, 2020
Trump and his administration are declaring “mission accomplished” on coronavirus, despite the death toll surpassing 60,000 Americans, more than 30 million out of work, over 1 million confirmed infected, and the government purchasing 100,000 new body bags.
Trump is acting like we’ve already beaten coronavirus as Americans still struggle from his failed coronavirus response:
TRUMP: “Our death totals, our numbers, per million people, are really very, very strong. We’re very proud of the job we’ve done.”
TRUMP: “I think we did a spectacular job.”
TRUMP: “We’re just about number one in the world, in terms of success.”
TRUMP: “We’ve done some unbelievable work and when somebody uses the word successful I mean it really has been successful, it has been very successful.”
TRUMP: “We’re heartened that the worst of the pain and suffering is going to be behind us.”
KUSHNER: “We’re on the other side of the medical aspect of this, and I think that we’ve achieved all the different milestones that are needed. The federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story.”
KUDLOW: “As the president said yesterday… I think the worst of the pandemic is over.”
KUDLOW: “And the strong steps the president has taken to deal with the virus, which has put us medically, in terms of public health, in a much better position.” [Outnumbered Overtime, Fox News, 4/30/20]
