PALM BEACH, FL—Seething over the fact he was no longer in the Oval Office as pandemic casualties reached a new milestone, former President Trump expressed worry Monday that President Biden would take credit for the 500,000 Covid deaths the Trump administration had made possible.
“No other president could have pushed death rates that high, and now that bastard is swooping in at the end of this pandemic and stealing my thunder,” said Trump, claiming that without his strategy of discouraging mask use and pretending the virus would go away on its own, the nation would never have been able to make it to a quarter million deaths, let alone a half million. “It wasn’t Biden who spent months refusing to attend the coronavirus task force meetings. That was all me.
It is what it is. It’s just the flu.

I’m curious when the rainbow reich will cancel the Onion.
The Onion makes fun of Biden: 'NOOO THIS IS NOT FUNNY THE ONION ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE😩😩😩😨😨😨😔😔😔' The Onion makes fun of Trump: 'the Onion is the most trustworthy news source in America' Acting like children smh
Truth News.
Laughed at this but i hope onion and ppl understand that it is irrational to say trump is responsible for all those deaths

400k. The next 100k were Biden's 1st month. Give credit where it's do now. Both are vile & bloody handed. We could have done better.
He does hate to be upstaged.
Excuse me, but apart from dictators/serial killers, how does one go about 'taking credit' for 500,000 deaths !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you know that your eyes water when you vent an onion?
Likely true!
johncusack I hope everyone knows that this is satirical news!
Evil gingerbread man
johncusack 🤣🤣🤣

Hey guys, it's the onion, stop getting mad
It's amazing how triggered people get. I'm a Trump supporter, and this is still funny.
B52Malmet Oh poor thing, no he doesn't have to worry about that, he will never lose credit for killing half a million people!😡😡
xtrixcyclex Heh. Clever 👍
And all the tension Trump built up between China. That’s all him. Biden is such a clout grabber.
KUMARAN1573 finally, after a long break of 4 years the onion is relevant again.
Q 🤡 overrated -next
johncusack Hey Trumps not President anymore
FinFox2 😂😂😂
Lol
johncusack This must be the most genius thing I've ever seen from The Onion.
johncusack No matter what happens, the Trumps will always be remembered as true TRAITORS! Donald J Trump is the ONLY president to be impeached twice and the only to continuously lie to the American people that lead to more then 542,000 American deaths.
johncusack Trump may have pushed it but didn’t have a clue once he got them.
He still can own selling all our national secrets to Russia.
I sleep better at night knowing Donald Trump is no longer the President.
SovietSergey 'Nobody was responsible for more ... nobody!' ~D.J.T.~
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good try, if you would have thrown in a 'China' you could've gotten a chuckle.
500,000+ dead for down-playing, lying is Trump's legacy.
Ah, I see we're going 'No Chill' today. Excellent choice, sir.
gzzzt
😂
How about the slave trade in Lybia that Biden made possible, what no jokes?
Obama used up all the PPE and never replaced it. It takes a village.
Obama is the one who funded the lab in Wuhan that created the virus. Funny joke, wrong info.
Don't worry guys, The Onion is a very well news source known for their credibility.
Merkel overtook Trump in Covid deaths. Merkel is the better leader.
'Trump claims responsibility for millions of American lives lost to Covid despite current deaths at less than 600K'
Donald Trump is the most hated figure in the world since Adolf Hitler. In America he is nothing more than than a cult leader who represents the most despicable form of evilness. - The Brief - is a leading Anti-Trump watchdog site, follow for all the latest.
Lordy, there are tapes!
He saved 329,500,000 Americans by simply not wearing a mask. Nobel worthy if nothing else. He just gets it.
Too soon
He's more disappointed it wasn't a million.
Hahaha ok dudes not President An the smear campaign continues
Democrats will always lead. Hell obama is still in the race cause the wars he started in the middle east still happening
Don't worry. I fear the variants will keep this crisis going. I fear we might not be out of the woods yet? COVID19Vaccine
'No body kills more people and care's less than me!' -Donald Trump
TREMENDOUS amount of death! A lot of very, very powerfully genius people are saying maybe the most deaths of anyone in all of human history.
Chy-na
What trump should do its let Biden take the credit then it'll be Biden to blame for them who the hell wants to be blame for deaths that certain country created a virus and released it to the world and that's why so many died so yeah if Biden wants it let him take it
Didnt realise you are leftists.
Tweet of the day.
Nah, Biden is going to be too busy hiding out and trying to convince people his Air Force One stairs were hacked by Russians
This is one of those times when The Onion writes fact not satire.
LibertyForward1 Truth !!
There’s one thing no one has to worry about, and that’s Trump letting anyone else put their name on his genocide. He loves being synonymous with American deaths.
LOL
PressSec45 I can see the interview now. Biden thinks he can take credit for everything.
'those numbers look like their copied from somewhere else'
Naw, then all yours, fuckass.
i bet hes worried he’ll outdo him in syrian children deaths as well
