Trump downplays COVID death toll.

Donald Trump on Sunday blamed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the grim COVID death toll, dismissing 350,000 deaths as “Fake News”.

“The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov’s ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. When in doubt, call it Covid.” Fake News!,” Trump tweeted.
