Trump has, since late April, increased his estimate of the death toll from 50,000-60,000 to 150,000-200,000 -- all the while proclaiming in near-identical language how great a job he has done, since it could've been far worse.

Trump again increased his estimate of the final COVID death toll, telling WSJ "we could be heading to a number that’s, you know, higher than 150,000 to 200,000."
His previous highest prediction was 110K, on May 8. That was up from 50K-60K in April.
And 0ish in February.
