Trump is living in a magical land, where coronavirus does not exist
If he does not believe it exists, it does not. Simple!
The US president some states in "very good shape" will be able to reopen "literally tomorrow".
Minutes after the CDC director emphasized the importance of “early diagnosis,
isolation and contact tracing,” the president contradicted the public health officials.
There are states with “wide open plains, wide-open spaces,” Trump said. Aggressive
testing and tracing aren’t necessary in those areas, according to the president.
“We’re beating the date” of reopening by May 1, Trump said. “That’s big stuff.”
He reiterated that many, “very important states” are ready to reopen.
(But every state has hundreds, if not thousands to tens of thousands of cases.
Trump will not say which states are doing well enough to considering scaling
back distancing measures.)
Trump said that many states have already met the criteria to reopen, but declined to name any of those states.
Undermining what Drs Fauci and Birx just said, Trump is predicting a new normal
that’s pretty much exactly like the old normal.
“We want every seat occupied” in an Alabama football stadium with 110,000 seats,
Trump said. If a restaurant has 158 seats, all 158 should be filled, he noted.
‘That’s our normal,” Trump said. “And it’s going to happen relatively quickly.”

"The tenor of the president's comments do not seem to match the hard reality
that is somewhat recognized in the plan. And there seems to be some discord
there," Inslee said. "We're making decisions on data, not dreams."

President Donald Trump toured the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta today.
After claiming that "anybody that needs a test" for COVID-19 can get one (they can't)
and saying that he has a natural ability to understand infectious diseases (he doesn't)
and that his uncle was "a great super genius" (we can't confirm), our president turned
to more pressing concerns: he called our governor a "snake" (he isn't).
Trump smears Jay Inslee, governor of the state at the heart of the coronavirus outbreak:
"I told Mike [Pence] not to be complimentary of the governor, because that governor is
a snake."

(Reality, April 16, 2020- Trump threw the People to his wolves.)
If you live in the city of Detroit, which is currently overwhelmed by the virus'
corpses, you will think the protesters have completely lost contact with reality;
if you are not in the city, you will see the protesters as heroes, as Tea People,
as men and women who are fighting for the freedom "to truck, barter, and
exchange one thing for another." This division is getting real. Those in big
cities, which vote blue, have been hit hard by the virus; and those in the rural
areas, which vote red, have not. The stay-at-home order, then, has the aspect
of protecting Democrats and harming Republicans. We can expect politicians
on the right to make something big out of this biological split.

"The best diagnosis for Trump is that he is a malignant narcissist. "
"It contains the narcissistic part, which is no big deal alone -- lots of people are
narcissistic -- but the malignant part is the sociopathy dimension. These terms
suggest that Trump is a very primitive man. He is also a man who has a fundamental,
deep psychological defect. It is expressed in his inability to empathize with others
and his lack of genuine loyalty to anyone.
You will notice that Trump wants everyone to be loyal to him, but he is loyal to nobody."

President Trump is spinning his new decision to suspend funding to the World
Health Organization as an act of decisive leadership — one that showcases his
devotion to effective crisis management, to gathering good empirical information,
and to holding people accountable for leadership failures that had catastrophic
human consequences.
In just about every conceivable way, this is the opposite of the truth.
