Biden Campaign Shares 'Most Insane Thing' Trump Has Ever Said With Bonkers 2020 Clip

The Biden-Harris HQ X account resurfaced a 2020 clip of Donald Trump coldly dismissing Covid deaths in response to 'What is the most insane thing anyone has said?' post.

The campaign team for Democratic President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris ramped up their mobilization efforts by sharing a mind-blowing statement from former Republican President Donald Trump downplaying the seriousness of COVID-19-related deaths at the height of the pandemic.

On March 17, an X (formerly Twitter) user, NBAVante, asked social media users:


"What is the most insane thing someone has said during a interview?"

Users shared clips from a wide range of interviews that included sports, entertainment, and politics.

To that the Biden-Harris HQ account added a short clip from the summer of 2020 showing Trump being dismissive of the statistic that 1,000 Americans were dying every day prior to the availability of coronavirus vaccines.

The brief video was from Axios national political correspondent Jonathan Swan interviewing Trump, who claimed that the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 was "lower than the world".

"I think it's under control," Trump proclaimed.

Swan replied:

"How? A thousand Americans are dying a day."

Trump responded with:

"They are dying, that’s true, and it is what it is."

The Biden-Harris team is starting to hammer Trump on his handling of the pandemic since we are now officially 4 years out from the crisis's onset.

The campaign also amplified the moment when NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked Trump at a coronavirus taskforce briefing four years this week:

“What do you say to Americans, who are watching you right now, who are scared?”

Trump ignored the question and disparaged the journalist by lashing out:

“I say that you’re a terrible reporter. That’s what I say."
"I think it’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people.”

In another clip from the same press conference, Alexander had asked Trump:

“Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of hope?”

Trump, who downplayed Dr Anthony Fauci's medical concerns on alternative methods of combating the virus prior to the availability of vaccines, suggested that the use of unapproved hydroxychloroquine could be effective without any evidence.

Trump said of the Immunosuppressive drug and Anti-parasite:

“It may work, it may not work."
"I feel good about it. That’s all it is, it’s a feeling. I'm a smart guy. I feel good about it.”

People online remembered like it was yesterday just how unfit Trump was, and remains, as a leader.





Little did we know then this was just the tip of the iceberg of the "bloodbath" to come.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
