Why does trump keep thinking the pandemic is not that bad when so many lives have been lost?

Trump only cares about things that directly affect him.

He would have to admit he botched the handling of the pandemic. It’s why he wanted to stop testing or why deSantis doesn’t want Florida’s real death toll reported. If it’s all a hoax Trump doesn’t have to take responsibility for his part in it. The same for Trump backers, they don’t want to see their own irresponsibility allowing it to spread. Trump knows and has said he knows how deadly the  Covid-19 really is but he chose not to push the truth because it was messing up his economy. Instead he said it was no worse than the flu which kills about 30,000 per year. In less that a year 285,000 have died of Covid-19 and millions are still feeling symptoms months after contracting and living through it. Too many Americans are followers of Trump who has led them unable to accept reality. Sad . . .

So many lives have been lost?  Have they really though?  Statistics are easily made up by someone with an agenda and are rarely ever accurate.  Media is easily manipulated in that way so you think there's a lot going on but there isn't anything going on at all.  College taught me everything I know about that.

What else is he going to say. He’s doing a bad job. It’s his fault that he didn’t mandate the country wear masks or that states remain shut down until those states have met the cdc guidelines before it can reopen. 

cus he's a f a.

Democrats sent COVID patients to nursing home to kill all elderlies & organize non stop riots to boost mass infection.

Dem want to kill people then blame Trump.

More people die in car wrecks .......................................

Because  you have  no clue to what  Trump is thinking ?
