“Technically, you’re correct. 160,000 dead from COVID-19 is far higher than expectations,” one person fired back on Twitter.

Critics, however, noted the number of jobs added was actually less than in May and June and that the unemployment rate still stands at more than 10%.
Others highlighted how the United States had indeed “exceeded expectations,” but with the death toll from the coronavirus.
Trump initially said 60,000 people in total could die from COVID-19. More than 160,000 Americans have now been killed by the contagion and health experts from the University of Washington this week forecast up to 300,000 lives could be claimed by the virus by the beginning of December.
