Huffington Post: Montage Exposes Trump’s Off-The-Rails Pandemic Rhetoric Compared To Other Leaders
The Atlantic’s supercut compares Donald Trump’s comments on the coronavirus outbreak to those of his counterparts worldwide.

A damning new montage, released Friday by The Atlantic, compares U.S. President Donald Trump’s wild and often misleading rhetoric about the coronavirus to what other world leaders have said about the pandemic.
In the video, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, Germany’s Angela Merkel, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern and others strike a sobering tone as they call for international cooperation and ask citizens for their help in slowing the spread of the virus.
The clips of Trump, however, show him downplaying the threat of COVID-19, calling the virus by a racist term, attacking journalists and pondering injecting disinfectant as a treatment.
