As usual, Trump’s prediction didn’t exactly pan out. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 1.1 million Americans have died from the COVID-19 virus. In fact, in Trump’s current home state of Florida, over 85,000 Floridians have succumbed to the coronavirus. Other U.S. states that eclipsed Trump’s false prediction include California, New York and Texas. Trump’s prediction is even worse when considering COVID-19 deaths outside of the United States. The total number of deaths worldwide due to COVID-19 is 6.8 million as of February 2023. This total is approximately 113 times worse than Trump predicted.
