He has taught us all a lesson with that concept. If you tell it like it is and, in fact, it isn't, then tell something else. His true believers are just that - believers. "Double Think is real" - there was a song, once upon a time: "Cult of Personality[^]".
I remember the background video[^]- Sometimes it was showing the band - other times . . . . let's just say "other things" (SFW).

Well, no. What he does is makes people look at things.
He says "massive outbreak" and everyone runs to say it was only a double handful...which caused the country to be shut down.
And we all laugh at NZ.
Everyone falls for it every single time.

I don't know what he said and honestly don't care, but I bet he didn't pick out NZ for it's number of new cases / day! If that was the criterion, he should have picked out other countries that are currently faring a lot worse than the USA!
Anyway, there is no reliable way to make an objective comparison, as each country uses different ways to test subjects and register new cases. Some just don't test (enough), some just don't report (accurately), and Russia does neither.

His exact words:
"Every time there's a good country, they like to compare, 'cause we've done an incredible job. You look at our mortality rate, you look at all the things, but they like to compare us to others, so they were talking about New Zealand. New Zealand! It's over! It's over for New Zealand. Everything's gone. They're beautiful. They had a massive breakout yesterday."
"Yesterday" on the day he gave this speech refers to NZ's FIVE new cases.
5 new cases is 0.000001% of the population. A total of 11 cases in the last 3 months.
In the US, the 46,000 new cases we had on that day is 0.00014% of the population. Over the last 3 months, we've added over 1.6M cases, or 0.005% of the population. We're the ones with the massive outbreak, not NZ.
Who's taking this out of context?

If the US's cases increased at the same rate as NZ that would be 200,000 new cases, so NZ's rate is increasing at a rate 20 times more than the US's rate. Funny how comparing massive countries with small ones is only a valid strategy when it makes Trump look bad.

You're seriously going to go that route? The "rate of increase" over a couple days is all you've got?
Over the last few days, NZ went from 0, to 6, to 5 new cases. In the US, we went from 37240, to 39794, to 43798 daily new reported cases.
So, in NZ's case, the daily reported cases is declining, where in the US, they are going up.
Funny how you'll twist the numbers in any way to make Trump look good.

Wow. You're failing at it.
TDS is the syndrome where Trump supporters will go to any lengths to defend him, not accuse him.
Would you be going through the same lengths is Hillary was in office and had these numbers?
I wouldn't change a thing on my side. I'd be denouncing her all the same if this was the result of her response.
