MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Floats Bizarre Conspiracy Theory: White House Inflated Death Projections So Trump Can ‘Take A Victory Lap’ – By Paul Bois (DailyWire) / April 9 2020
This week, the Trump administration lowered the number of projected COVID-19 deaths to approximately 60,000, a far cry from the original death count of 100,000 to 200,000. According to MSNBC host Chris Hayes, the original projections may have been a conspiratorial ploy to make President Trump look like a hero.
On his Twitter account Wednesday, the “All In” host laid out a most bizarre theory that makes no sense when examined.
“The most cynical interpretation of all this, one I can’t quite bring myself to accept, is they rolled out the model showing 100k deaths after they knew it would be less than that so they could anchor everyone to that # and take a victory lap when ‘only’ tens of thousands died,” Hayes wrote.

For that theory to have any sway, it would have to explain why on earth President Trump and his team would put out an inflated number, scare the living daylights out of people, and grind the economy to an utter standstill just so he can take a “victory lap” on top of a pile of economic destruction. It would also have to account for the dozens of experts who pushed those numbers long before the Trump administration instituted the social distancing guidelines.
