What is the Trump Benghazi Meter?

The Trump Benghazi Meter is a daily analysis of the number of Benghazis that Donald Trump is responsible for given the tragically avoidable number of COVID-19 deaths in America.

Nearly eight years ago, four Americans were tragically killed in the defense of American assets in Benghazi, Libya.  This led to years of investigations in an attempt to turn over every possible stone. Republicans conducted thirty-three hearings, and listened to sworn testimony from dozens of witnesses. All of this was necessary, they said, because the American people deserved answers.

Do Americans deserve answers when tens of thousands die unnecessarily?

Compare Countries

We compared the populations and total confirmed COVID-19 death rates of three countries whose governments anticipated the pandemic and reacted quickly to protect their citizens. For example, South Korea and the U.S. each discovered their first cases on the same day. But why do numbers in the U.S. continue to spike while South Korea is reduced to a trickle?

The Trump Gap

Red = Total U.S. Deaths | Green = Total U.S. Deaths minus Trump Gap
The chart above displays the difference between the current U.S. confirmed COVID-19 deaths with the total deaths that the U.S. would have suffered if the country simply met the average combined death rate per capita of Germany, New Zealand, and South Korea; countries with strong pandemic leadership.  These avoidable deaths are the Trump Gap.

Let’s do the math

281,358 unnecessary Coronavirus deaths / 4 Benghazi deaths

The avoidable deaths represented by the Trump gap, when divided by the number of American deaths in Benghazi, yields the number of Trump Benghazis.

That’s like 70,340
