So, thousands of Americans are dying from a new virus on a daily basis. Hundreds of thousands more are infected. Healthcare workers don't have the supplies they need to save lives. And millions are without work. So there's a lot of problems that need to be dealt with.
And he's tweeting about the ratings of his press conferences.
He gets upset, sure; he gets really pissed when someone points out something he did wrong or something he should have done differently. He doesn't try to fix those problems, he tries to fix the spin about them.
Seems to me he's more worried about his own reputation than he is saving lives or even saving the economic well being of millions of Americans.
This is called narcissism.
The most frightening part of it? His followers are going like they always do. They're telling us all how Covid-19 is some conspiracy theory. They're laughing about "triggered liberals" when we're upset about the tremendous loss of life or the economic destruction. They trust Alex Jones and Stephen Crowder more than they do scientific authorities or statistics or legitimate journalism. And, yeah, there are Trumpanzees out there who are insisting that praising god and going to church will cure the virus. So they're packing churches, praying like there's no tomorrow, and pretending that the almighty will save them from the virus.
In a horrible kind of way, I wish their disregard to a very serious health concern would kill lots of them. Less conservative voters in November will prevent them from voting for morons in the future. Unfortunately, it won't work that way. They'll be killed in roughly the same proportions as non-idiot voters.

Actually they'll probably be killed to a greater extent, they're older, less well insured and living in areas with worse healthcare than the average. Plus they're in states which are doing bupkis to stop the spread. All of which up the death rate.
Problem is, the traitor party stopped depending on getting a majority in the 80's. The strategy now is to supress the vote by any means illegal (at which they are very successful). And I'm sure there's a fair few traitor party members casting multiple votes too.

To be fair, Trump is the greatest US president since Obama.

So one of my really good friends, probably the sweetest lady at Cedars-Sinai, got Corona-19. So did her husband. I would say they're in their 50's.
She is the heart and soul of her department. She's always baking things for us.
He was on a vent, and she was ill at home. She could not visit him. We heard this morning they are both better.
She is well now, and they did a (long) weaning attempt to get him off the vent (about 20 min) of her hubby. A lot of people are getting over this.
Trump continues every day, to prove he is unfit for the office he holds, and in fact any office.
He would be shit-canned from any job, in any Fortune 500 company or any non-profit in the world, in about 5 seconds.
I can't wait for the day when his ugly incompetent face is gone forever from the media.

Impeachable mistake
Trump admits he ‘didn’t see’ Navarro’s White House memo warning him millions could die
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/trump-c...could-die/
Trump is like that kid early in school who didn't do homework and then, as an excuse, says "I didn't know there was a homework" and then he gets an F so that he and all other kids in class learn that this is not an excuse. You would think that there could never be a child above the age of 7 who is like that, let alone an adult person, and yet here you go, and Jared Kushner is also like that.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
