President Trump: 100000 deaths in the country is very sad

Following the deaths of 100,000 people from the corona virus in the United States, President Trump called it a "very sad milestone" in his tweet.

The number of certified victims in the United States is about 1.7 million, which is 30% of the total victims in the world.

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!

President Trump insists the death toll would have been 25 times higher had it not been for the steps taken by his administration, while critics accuse him of slow response.
