Actress Ellen Barken has slammed President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, claiming that he is "responsible for more deaths than Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon." The Dine actress didn't hold back when she took to Twitter to criticize the president. She even went as far as to compare Donald Trump to the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. In the video below, Trump says that his authority on reopening states is total:  [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/3MOxGJmz-Q0L14jDU.mp4||3MOxGJmz]] "Trump is responsible for more deaths than Kennedy Johnson and Nixon," the actress tweeted. "He will go down in history as the Stalin of incompetence and greed." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/EllenBarkin/status/1253012038365974529]] Barken is likely referring to the Vietnam war which resulted in more than 58,000 US casualties, per the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/research/military/vietnam-war/casualty-statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Archives</a> and the <a href="https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/factsheets/fs_americas_wars.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Department of Veterans Affairs.</a> <img class="wp-image-12594337 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/04/17fae071-ellen-barkin-1.jpg" alt="Elle Barkin." width="760" height="545" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]] Barkin's critical tweets come after Trump branded a reporter a "disgrace" and "fake" in a heated press conference where she also criticized his handling of the pandemic. CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid said that his decision to implement travel restrictions in February didn't save lives. Despite President Trump's attempts to talk over her, Reid did not abandon her line of questioning and said: "The argument is that you bought yourself some time (with the travel restrictions)." She continued: "You didn't use it to prepare hospitals. You didn't use it to ramp up testing." <img class="wp-image-12594338 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/04/d3cb3e22-ellen-barkin-2.jpg" alt="Donald Trump speaking at a press conference." width="760" height="505" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]] Reid continued: "Right now, nearly 20 million people are unemployed. Tens of thousands of Americans are dead. "How is this rant supposed to make people feel confident in an unprecedented crisis?" However, instead of answering Reid's question, Trump simply said: "You're so disgraceful. "It's so disgraceful the way you say that." Per the <a href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html">John Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center</a>, at the time of writing, there have been 2,665,122 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus worldwide, and a global death toll of 186,131.
