“Trump Death Clock” Heads to Tulsa for Trump Speech

HeadlineJun 19, 2020

Oklahoma reported a record number of new COVID cases on Thursday for the fifth consecutive day. President Trump is traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday for his first large indoor rally in months. Trump has refused to cancel the event despite warnings from public health officials who fear the rally could turn into a “superspreader event.” Attendees will be asked to sign coronavirus liability waivers to prevent future lawsuits against the campaign.

Trump is also expected to be greeted by protesters in Tulsa. The filmmaker Eugene Jarecki has announced he is bringing the Trump Death Clock to Tulsa. The clock tallies the number of American lives lost due to government inaction during the pandemic. The toll is now over 71,000.
