"Washington, DC (CNN)While holding a press conference on Friday in Atlanta about the current coronavirus outbreak, President Donald Trump said that he didn't know people died of the flu.
His grandfather died of influenza in 1918, according to Trump biographer Gwenda Blair.
["When I was hearing the amount of people that died with the flu, I was shocked to hear it," Trump said while touring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's headquarters.
"Over the last, long period of time when people have the flu, you have an average of 36,000 people dying.
I've never heard those numbers, I would've been shocked. I would have said,
'Does anybody die of the flu?'
I didn't know people died from the flu."]
In 1918, an influenza pandemic spread throughout the world and killed an estimated 675,000 people in America and 50 million worldwide, according to the CDC.
Trump's paternal grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was one of those people who died of the influenza in 1918,
Blair: He is not a student of history. He's only looking forward.
He has no rearview mirror and that means he learns little.
There's that old cliche about people who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it, and I think that's what he's currently in the middle of re-enacting."

He and Biden - the leading democrat candidate - have a lot in common.

I would like to hear the exact statement, perhaps he meant he did no know any one WHO died from the flu. I don't either. And even if he was mistaken, it's not even close to the many gaffes said by Biden

"Does anybody die of the flu?" question tells us he didn't know. Would he ask it if he had known? Would you? Please.....

Your first question must be satire. Of course people die from the flu. Over 20 thousand per year do. BUt we arein a very stupid panic regarding Covid 19. If one was craxy or a little paranoid they might think that the panic is a democrat ploy to damage Trump ahead of the 2020 elrction.
