Stephen Colbert blasts Trump's claim coronavirus affects 'virtually nobody' as death toll exceeds 200,000
The U.S. has the most coronavirus deaths out of any country in the world, with over 200,000 people now dead. This, as Late Show host Stephen Colbert pointed out, is also more deaths than Americans killed in battle during the last five wars combined.
Meanwhile, President Trump told an Ohio crowd on Tuesday that COVID-19 affects "virtually nobody." Apparently older people and those with medical conditions don't count.
"'They say 200,000 people have died, but I haven't heard from any of them,'" quipped Colbert, imitating Trump. "'Raise your hand if you've died from coronavirus. See? Nobody.'"

Colbert further skewered the CDC's Halloween guidelines, which advise greater social distancing when screaming, as well as its apparently mistaken coronavirus guidance update last Friday.
The CDC's updated advice said coronavirus particles could be airborne and travel further than six feet — "kinda important information just to slip in there on a Friday afternoon," Colbert noted. However, this advice was abruptly removed yesterday, with the CDC explaining it had been a draft that was accidentally published.
"Well that's embarrassing," said Colbert. "You published a first draft? I mean, come up with joke here about how this embarrassing, maybe a metaphor, figure it out later. Note: CBS lawyers won't let you have jokes that involve masturbation."
In 2019 according to the CDC. The #4 cause of death was upper respiratory illness at 160,000. The #8 cause of death was lower respiratory illness at 60,000. That is 240,000 deaths. Tried to find out what this year's numbers are and nothing is available. Everything is related to corona flu. So the numbers are padded. The press lies.
ReplyDeleteThe misconceptions here is foolish. COVID-19 kills people who have health problems or are infirm.
ReplyDeleteHowever the more stupid people who don't wear masks or socal distance are giving the Caronavirus strength to affect healthy people.
This is real science people and keep doing what you are doing.
Don't wear masks.
Caronavirus doesn't care about politics, religion or if you deny it exists.
It exists and every idiot spreading misinformation gives it power.
It affects nobody with healthy a immune system, every covid death has a previous underlying condition.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Covid-19 deaths haven't affected Trump but they've hit 200,000 families. Pretty sad.
ReplyDeleteI would love him stand in front of Governor. Cuomo in NY and see him let out all his anger on him.....no holds barred. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs this clown still on the air? Biggest goof on TV and there's lots of competition in that department, like every single person on CNN

"Nobody likes my personality."
ReplyDeleteDoes that include Trump himself?
Is he trying to state that his personality is a separate entity?
Deleteit does
DeleteIt includes Melania
DeleteI didn’t know that being a racist moron was a personality, I learned something new today
DeleteTrump had an interview with a woman that he thought was too close. It made him nervous. How about everyone at his rallies not wearing masks and shoulder to shoulder. He couldn't care less about them.
ReplyDeleteDon't knock colonoscopies --- THEY'RE vital.
ReplyDeleteand less disgusting.
If you want to be scared and terrified just watch a trump rally.
ReplyDeleteAnd a a BLM one
DeleteTrump acts like now we know the disease. That’s a false narrative. When he didn’t know the disease he didn’t act now he knows the disease and he’s still not acting and lying about it
ReplyDeleteSo when does the DOJ deem any city with a Trumputin rally an "antichrist" jurisdiction?
ReplyDeleteThe antiChrist has returned.....orange
DeleteTrump is blaming China for his incompetence. The virus came from China and Trump was told about it by China. International travel is the cause of virus transmission. Trump failed the Americans by doing nothing. Then playing it down. He can spin it all he wants. The blood of the American People is completely his doing and his fault. I must say he’s been the best President ever in something. It’s not making America Great Again. It’s Make America Dead this time!
ReplyDelete"thats a negetive spirit and that doesnt do so well" says the guy who won on hateing everyone that isn't you
ReplyDelete"Get Donald Trump out of here!"
ReplyDelete-Melania Trump
Describing tRump as America's colonoscopy is both atp, and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThat thing is one of the worst creatures that evolution has come up with.
ReplyDeleteI've heard toddlers that made more sense than Trumpty's lackeys and even himself.
ReplyDeleteWhat's so childish about super-duper-missiles?
DeleteAnarchist jurisdictions cannot vote. Relax, Trump hasn't attacked his own tower and blamed the left for it, yet.
ReplyDeleteOK, two can play Humpty Dumpty's game: since NYC is an "anarchist zone," and HD is cutting off fed $$$ - Let NY secede and refuse to forward tax revenue! That puts NY almost 200 bilion AHEAD and the feds lose mega $$$. You lose Humpty Humpty.
ReplyDeletePublicly he says he doesn't care if anybody likes him, but he cries at night because nobody likes him.
ReplyDeleteNYC should evict all Trump buildings and businesses in response...
ReplyDeleteThe stupidity of that orange thing.. so sad for 'merica.
ReplyDeleteDid Colbert just reference Epic Rap Battles of History: Trump Vs. Scrooge??
ReplyDeleteMy 8 yr old step nephew got Corona virus. Trump is literally insane.
ReplyDeleteNo one cares about Trump's personality as long as he finally gets lost!
ReplyDeleteafter 4 years "Trump is not presidential" is getting old - we know - that's why he got elected
ReplyDeleteAs the old Portuguese proverb says: Trump is in the woods without a dog
ReplyDeleteTrump supporters need CA and NY.. who's gonna pay for their healthcare, dentures, and roads? Not Trump, that's why he moved to Florida.
