Donald Trump chatted with Fox & Friends for nearly an hour on Friday, covering topics ranging from the way he was raised to the Russian investigation. During the conversation, the president once again raised the projected death toll in the United States, predicting that up to 110,000 people could die from the novel coronavirus.
Trump has repeatedly raised the death toll projection, as Mediaite reports. In late April, he claimed 50,000-60,000 people could die, a number that he called a success given how much worse the cost of the pandemic could have been.
Nine days later, he revised that number to 60,000-70,000. This week, he adjusted that number once again to be somewhere between 75,000-100,000.
While speaking with the hosts of Fox & Friends, he raised the prediction yet again.
“We’ll be at 100,000, 110. The lower level of what was projected if we did the shutdown,” he said.
