It appears to be an attempt to extrapolate the rate of growth in deaths per day. Look at the curves for death per day: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

There's always a problem with these estimations. As the number of infected grows, it becomes harder to infect new people. There is a point of diminishing returns. But, as Trump says, the next few weeks will be nasty.

He said this in the press release yesterday, I believe it was. But I’m not sure it was 100% about the virus. It also included hints to the Iran situation, the drug cartels, etc.

I may have misunderstood, though.

I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. We're going to go through a very tough two weeks and then hopefully, as the experts are predicting, as a lot of us are predicting, we're going to start seeing rome real light at the end of the tunnel, but this is going to be a very painful.. a very very painful two weeks. When you look and see at night the kind of death that has been caused by this invisible enemey. It's incredible.

I said this is going to be a rough two or three weeks. This is going to be one of the roughest two weeks we've ever had in our country. We're going to lose thousands of people. When I see 28 or 29 people from the governor of new jersey. 29 people. When you see 173 people died in New York yesterday or whatever the number was; I think it was more than that. When you see the kinds of numbers we're witnessing, we've never seen numbers like that.

Watch on either side of the quotes; He's definitely talking about the estimates of 100,000+ estimated to die in the next few weeks. Show me how this is misquoted....
