Trump on COVID death toll in Fox News interview: ‘It is what it is’
President Donald Trump refused to believe that America has one of the highest coronavirus mortality rates in the world and brushed off the rising death toll from the pandemic during a combative and contentious Sunday interview with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.
Wallace, meanwhile, pointed out that this “isn’t burning embers” but more like a “forest fire,” prompting Trump to retort that he’ll “put out the flames” of those “embers” before complaining that other countries are also dealing with rising cases. Trump, however, falsely claimed that America has among the lowest fatality rates, asking White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to bring him a document to prove him right. He further accused Wallace of being “fake news.” Wallace, for his part, inserted a separate reporting segment at that point in the interview, informing viewers that the White House used a misleading chart to make Trump’s case.
“I can tell you the death chart is 1,000 cases a day,” Wallace added when the president insisted he was taking the pandemic seriously.
