Will COVID beat President Trump? Yes, he's already had it and seems to have bounced back in an impressive fashion. Even people who don't like him have to admit that. But the president is getting pounded by the liberal. press on his handling of the entire situation. First, the facts. Worldwide, there are now more than 40 million cases, 40 million, with 1.1 million fatalities all across the globe. In America, 8.3 million have contracted COVID, 221,000 fatalities. Roughly 50,000 new cases. Roughly 50,000 new every day and that's on President Trump's watch. Now in Europe this situation is even

more dire. Spain has close to a million cases, 34,000 fatalities. France close to a million, 34,000 fatalities same as Spain. UK 763 cases 44,000 fatalities. Italy, about a half million cases with 37,000 fatalities. Now all these statutes Stats are numbing, I know, but here is the important thing. The American press says Donald Trump is largely responsible for all the people who have contracted COVID. Well, is that the same in Europe? Are all the European leaders responsible? Because now Europe has a higher new COVID rate than the United States. And in The Far East, Japan, has 100,000 cases. South Korea, 25,000 because they were prepared for the pandemic, having gone through the SARS situation a few years ago.

We don't have any stats out of China that are reliable because the communist government suppresses that. Now, in tomorrow night's debate, the first topic is COVID, and you can expect the NBC News moderator to hammer President Trump. about the disease. Now, from my perch, Donald Trump made one big mistake. He did not actively promote wearing masks. Whether you agree with masks or not, there's no downside to that other than it's personally uncomfortable. I don't like the mask, but I wear the mask when I'm out in public because, again, it protects me and protects people from those who have the virus but are not showing any symptoms. So President Trump should have promoted the masks more aggressively. Otherwise, I don't know what the man could have done. He stopped the flights from China early. He stopped the flights

from Europe. He got all the ventilators and the equipment that the medical people needed to the States, Joe Biden, I don't know, you look at his website and he's got pretty much the same stuff that President Trump has. So the truth about this is no human being, no politician, nobody could have stopped the pandemic. But the perception in the USA is that President Trump screwed up because that's what the press is pounding. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve the message by actually writing it. Disagree.

the virus. But some universities are in turmoil and the contagion has nothing to do with it. In Texas, two professors from Collin College compared President Trump to a serial killer, writing, quote, having Donald Trump in the White House is like having Ted Bundy as president, unquote. Well, Colin College actually defended the academic, saying their opinions are protected by free speech. However, that's incorrect.

95 to 1. The study found similar stats at the University of California and Stanford in Palo Alto.

equality. The organization now provides BLM T-shirts to students free of charge. Finally, researchers at Brown University claim Trump flags and make America great against signs traumatized minorities. An associate at the school's economics department complained after arriving at an Airbnb displaying a magazine that the images are used to scare away black people.
