To mention the Bachelor finale and Monday night football in the same sentence as daily Covid briefings is proof that he is clinically insane.
To be fair to Trump (for once) I think he is trying to make the point that his high ratings equate to the fact he is doing a good job. What he ultimately fails to grasp is that:

a) Nobody with half a brain believes this.

b) Nobody with an ounce of decency or empathy would even consider thinking it let alone saying it.

It is clearly evidently that he has some form of narcissistic/psychopathic personality disorder.

I think his tweet is a dig at the likes of CNN who are no longer broadcasting the full briefing. All that has happened is that people have switched to a different media source, so he gets his message across without the anti Trump spin.

There is no 'spin'. It his Trump speaking, he does the damage himself. See below:

 
Trump’s presidency was always a threat to world peace but I’m becoming extremely scared that all my fears are going to come to fruition through coronavirus. They are going to not bother locking down because of him and become absolutely riven with the virus. Then Trump is going to throw his weight around to force other countries to keep acccepting their citizens on aeroplanes. That’s going to keep reinfecting the rest of the world who are going to hate the USA even more. That could even lead to war and god knows what else.

It always felt like you couldn’t have a moron like that in charge of the biggest superpower without massive ramifications and that might just be the big one: hundreds of millions of deaths around the world from this virus and its knock on effects.

I agree about the possible consequences of him opening up internally too soon. It could become rife throughout the states.
I would hope though that Europe would not be so quick to open up to America. There does seem to be an understanding that the phasing of the lifting of restrictions is a very delicate balance between the economy and the health of the population.
It is also understood better, I think that there is no return to normality until after a vaccine is found.

It is one thing for some nutters to want the lock down lifted. Its a big jump for lots of people to want to get on to flights etc.

I dont see air travel picking up for at least 12 months, irrespective of what Trump does. And I think the cruise ship industry might be terminally bust. People will be too scared to do it.

His tweet is just him boasting. Nothing more, nothing less.

A tweet like that wouldn’t even impress his base. It’s just his narcissism that he appears to have no control of.

I hope you’re right. I’ve just got a bad feeling that this is not going to end well for the human race, and this lunatic is going to be part of it.
 
Well this will only confirm your grim world view than mate ... we’ve got a mutater on our hands (although I think many of us suspected this anyway)

God almighty. I was reading a piece yesterday about how everybody is focussing on the instant death rate but nobody was focussing in the long term damage to vital organs/fertility etc. It was talking about the consequences of measles, mumps etc.

Every single day the news looks a tiny bit bleaker. I’m a naturalist and an angler and if you overpopulate a lake with a particular species in the end Mother Nature introduces a disease to kill off the weak. Sometimes it kills off the entire stock.

I hope I’m wrong, mate, and we get a vaccine. It’s scary stuff, and going back on point, more so given the number of populist, irresponsible world leaders and the lack of trust/communication between them.

Trying to be optimistic, when this is all over maybe the world will have learned the value of globalisation.

Just realised Liking your post probably isn’t that appropriate, what I mean is, yep, agreed.
