Me Me Me Me Me Me Me

Last Sunday, as the death toll in America from coronavirus passed two thousand people, Donald Trump was tweeting about the TV ratings for his daily TV appearances at his supposed briefings (details here).

A few days later, when the death toll passed four thousand people, he was bragging at one of his supposed briefings that he was "number one on Facebook" (details here). It's worth noting that, beyond being wildly inappropriate, this claim was a bizarre lie that can be easily disproven.

And Friday, as the death toll passed seven thousand, when the discussion at a supposed briefing involved the total number of people who might die in America from the pandemic, he bragged about having once dated and bedded models (details here).

Is he actually this fucking clueless? Can he think about anything other than himself? This is a national tragedy of epic proportions, potentially unlike anything this country has experienced before, thanks in no small part to his epic mismanagement. It may cause another economic depression.

Has he no gravitas for the situation? Can he not realize that people are anxious and grieving? Is he so crippled by narcissism that he cannot grasp that the universe does not revolve around him?

November cannot get here soon enough.
