his re-election campaign economy numbers?

Must be kinda fucky to watch almost all of the rest of world leaders tell their people what simple things they need to do in order not to die from this pandemic while the potus does the opposite and is willing to let hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of Americans die so long as his economic numbers look pretty.

It sucks.  What makes it worse is the lack of any logical reason behind it.

Sure, he's feeding his ego; certainly, he doesn't care about the "Little People"; but who is he trying to impress?

In his own mind (only) he must believe that jobs numbers & the economy are The Single Issue that the masses will re-elect him for, even IF propping those numbers up means Millions die.

Crrrrrrraaaaaaazzzyyyyyyyy.. *cough* 25th amendment *cough*

He’s bat s**t crazy? The only explanation I can come up with.

He's media savvy as hell though, his calculation might have just gone bad.

But when you look at the things he has done since the coronavirus outbreak - namely, strip the environmental protection agency if its powers to even meausre illegal polution - you get the idea his press conferences are there to make people tweet about what he says, not what he does.

So... He's willing to allow people to pour dioxin into the rivers.
Coronavirus seems like a neglectable threat in comparison.

He's trying to use the crisis well, but the crisis may have grown too large. We'll see in November.

^ Very true.

Donald Trump’s primary function is to distract everyone from the acts of the Trump administration.

Right, and where exactly are the Dems telling the hordes of protesters/rioter/looters/vandals/"revolutionaries" to stay at home and not gather in large groups? Or is this a Republican-only pandemic?

Fair.

Apparently the reason he supported the Saudi prince after they chopped up Khashoggi was to distract everyone from some bad news story about Ivanka that he didn’t want anyone to pay attention to.

Whoever's potus next is going to have sooooo much cleanup work to do.

trump is probably just f*****g everything into the ground because Putin told him to.
