Here some news:

There are already 14 deaths in USA with only 233 cases. That's pretty much the highest death rate on this planet.  It either means that you don't detect most cases in USA or it means that your hospitals don't have what they need to help those who have it.

Meanwhile your President believes there is no country better in handling this than USA and there is a President who still believed the standard flu vaccine should be enough a few days ago.

But hey, just pretend as if Trump is just perfect. At least he loves guns to save the population!

14 deaths from 233 cases is hardly enough sample size to claim 'Highest death rate on this planet'.

We don't know any information on those individuals for example their health status/age or the circumstances to which they contracted it (possibly from holiday) or any information about healthcare recieved.

That's why the real rumber of infected is probably much higher and that USA doesn't have a higher death rate. Sure, could be a bad coincidence that the average infected in USA is much older on average or has worse pre-conditions but the more likely scenario is simply what is already known since a while: not enough tests in USA when it began

Trump just tried to talk it down more than once but even he won't do that much longer because he can't. He will switch to something else after his mistakes to once again present himself as the best for everything to let people forget how stupid he was the last months. I guess it will switch to "nobody invests as much money as us to fight it" or something like that. 

He will never admit that he should have taken it more seriously instead of talking it down as something not so dangerous and something democrats just use against him.
