Trump Says 60 Million Russians Died During World War II– He’s Wrong By More Than Half, of Course

Donald Trump says he really likes Russia today on his social media.

He says that 60 million Russians died during World War II.

He’s wrong, of course. The estimate has always been 27 million including both civilian and military deaths. Trump is a graduate of Wharton.

Still, that’s a lot of people. Trump says even though he likes them, if they don’t stop the war in Ukraine he’ll do everything he can to hurt them with tariffs, taxes, and sanctions.

Today is Day 3 of the Trump Administration. You do recall Trump said he would end the war on Day 1.

He’s also fighting with Episcopal bishop in Washington, DC, trying to deport millions of people, firing people left and right, and so on.

Egg prices remain steady with no reduction in sight.
