"If the not-so-good job was done, you'd be between 1.5 million—I remember these numbers so well—and 2.2 million. That's quite a difference," the president said.

"So we're down in this territory," Trump continued, pointing to the 100,000 to 240,000 projected death toll displayed on the chart. "And that's despite the fact that the blue states had tremendous death rates. If you take the blue states out, we're at a level that I don't think anybody in the world would be at. We're really at a very low level. But some of the states, they were blue states and blue-state-managed."

"The most recent data, through Tuesday, indicates that about 53 percent of deaths have occurred in blue states—meaning that 47 percent have occurred in red ones. In other words, more than 90,000 deaths have occurred in red states. If that were the country's total, we would have seen the second-most number of deaths globally, trailing only Brazil."

This plays along the lines of Trump stopping efforts to help with COVID on the federal level and passing responsibility to governors when he realized it was only effecting blue states in March and April.

He basically saw it as a way out so he could take no responsibility, claiming its up to the States .. then having the Feds seize PPE the individual states had secured.

Hes a horrible human being. Hes spent 3.8 years as POTUS just running a re-election campaign catering to the low educated, easily mislead red base.

Only thing he is good at is name calling and making "liberals" freak out .. only thing low educated red voters care about - 'does it piss off the educated liberal elite?"
