Jared Kushner says 'yes,' the US coronavirus death toll of 170,000 is a 'success story,'

Source: Business Insider

Jared Kushner once again gave a bullish assessment of the United States' coronavirus response on television, despite the nation leading the world in cases and deaths.

The president's son-in-law and senior adviser doubled down on comments from April, where he called the administration's efforts a "great success story" and that the country would be "really rocking again" by July.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Kushner "Are 170,000 dead Americans — would you still suggest that this has been a success story?"

"Yes," Kushner responded, without taking a beat. "Look, there's a lot of challenges. This has been a global pandemic, a lot of unprecedented challenges."

If Trump loses...Jared and Ivanka will be leaving the country...heading to some place that the US, either doesn't have an extradition treaty or a country that has been reluctant in the past to turn over American citizens who've committed crimes in the US...

That is only a success story if you are trying to kill citizens in your own country.

One wonders what failure would look like to that cockroach.

It IS A SUCCESS STORY.

It will be even more successful when 250K are dead.
STILL MORE successful when 500K + are dead.
And an absolutely brilliant, Nobel Prize winning, Mt Rushmore carving, TRIUMPH when he and the TRAITOROUS PIG KILL 1 MILLION Americans.

It's just how these fuckers operate. No pain is too much for the Non- Russians.

The baseline is 'almost down to zero'. From back in Feb or so.

170,000 is Trump's personal death count.

The dead who were democrats are Jared's idea of a success story.
