Trump Death Clock

The Trump Death Clock started as a website, and was later presented in billboard form in Times Square displaying the theoretically claimed number of deaths attributable to President Donald Trump's inaction during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2][3] The clock was created by Eugene Jarecki.[4] The billboard is on Broadway and West 43rd Street in Manhattan, New York City. The counter is based on the claim that had measures been implemented one week earlier, 60% of American COVID-19 deaths would have been avoided."[5] On June 20, 2020, Eugene Jarecki drove a mobile version during the 2020 Trump Tulsa rally to ensure that Trump's supporters "[had] an opportunity to make an informed choice based on real numbers."[6]
