Trump appeared to just arbitrarily pick 17,000, but it’s not as wrong as most of his arbitrary numbers. The CDC’s headline estimate is 12,469, but it says its estimate range goes up to 18,306, so Trump’s figure is within it. https://t.co/HSWveSqd77 — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 Where does Trump's 17,000 number come from? Thin air?
