this is the type of third grade BS his supporters are going along with. Trump is now saying he was still right about the cases going down to zero. They will eventually, it's just that there will be a large number of deaths in between. Trump supporters will nod their heads because....hey at least we don't have a black man as President. And making sure a racial hierarchy is in order is the only thing they care about.
This is the type of excuse a 10-yr old would give, and would promptly be scolded.
