President Donald Trump literally waited until the coronavirus death toll reached the grim milestone of 100,000 before offering any kind of sympathy to the victims and their families, and it was so phony that Americans called him out for it.
As you will recall, Trump went golfing over Memorial Day weekend as the pandemic continued to claim American lives. There was no offer of sympathy then, and Trump certainly was not working hard to prevent any of these deaths either. After all, he has been pushing for the end of social distancing and other protective measures being employed to keep people safe and healthy. And now that red states are starting to re-open, a second wave of the virus is on the rise. More Americans are going to get sick and die.
In fact, Trump has offered little to no sympathy for the victims and their families throughout this crisis.
It took all of three months for 100,000 Americans to die from this virus, and all because Trump refused to respond to the crisis in a timely and responsible manner. These deaths are on him, but he thinks offering false sympathy makes it all better.
We have just reached a very sad milestone with the coronavirus pandemic deaths reaching 100,000. To all of the families & friends of those who have passed, I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy & love for everything that these great people stood for & represent. God be with you!

Americans begged to differ.

If you had taken action months earlier tens of thousands less Americans would’ve died. You still have no plan. You’ve failed us all. #PatriotsWearAMask

Trump‘s incompetent response to this pandemic needs to be well vetted
His administration was well aware of the threat based on intelligence briefings, the Crimson Contagion pandemic simulation, and the Obama Pandemic Playbook

It took you this long to finally share your condolences?
Did you even write this?

Trump didn’t write this…
No random caps.
No ALL caps.
No wrong punctuation.
No misspelled words.Exactly what you would expect from a heartless president*. #TrumpDeathToll101K

It took 100,000 Americans dying for inept @realDonaldTrump to even recognize the casualties of #COVID19 , how many more Americans lives will it take for @POTUS to take responsibility for his ineptitude?#TrumpLiedPeopleDied #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica https://t.co/Mh8GXkXOiX pic.twitter.com/oObxuWhkhL

A recent study by Columbia University revealed that tens of thousands of lives could have been saved had Trump acted just a week sooner than he did.
If anything, Trump owes the American people an apology and his resignation for this death toll.
