From the linked article:
"The problem is that the crisis fits into his preexisting and deeply held worldview—that the media is always searching for a story to bring him down. Covid-19 is merely the latest instance, and he’s reacting in familiar ways. “So much FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted this morning. “He wants Justice to open investigations of the media for market manipulation,” a source close to the White House told me. "
Again, using an American agency as his own personal cop shop. I have no doubt that if he could suspend the first amendment, he'd do it in a New York minute.

Can you imagine where we would be if this embicile hadn't inherited Obama's great economy? Scary to think about.
Trump is crazy. Word is he thinks a reporter may deliberately get the Coronavirus and give it to him on the plane. The CPACKERs apparently had exposure. 3 attendees are in self quarantee.. Older people are especially in danger. One in trump's condition should be very careful.

For real. And still the dwindling but still loud merry band of Trumpanzees sees nothing wrong with him.

Hello Tacomaman,
"Republicans close to Trump fear his rosy assessments are fundamentally detached from reality in ways that will make the epidemic worse. “He is trying to control the narrative and he can’t,” a former West Wing official told me."
No surprise there.
“So much FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted this morning. “He wants Justice to open investigations of the media for market manipulation,” a source close to the White House told me.
Oh, good grief. He believes he has a right to control the narrative, control the news.
About being a germophobe, that totally makes sense. He ordinarily holds a rally in a major state like Michigan on the eve of a Democratic primary. Michigan is holding it's Democratic primary today, but DT did not hold a rally there last night. Or anywhere. And he has none planned.

I am not a "groupish" person by nature. I prefer individual sports instead of the team version. That said, it is simply mind boggling to me that folks would become so "idolized" by another person that they develop into "cults". Are their individual lives so empty that this type of hero-worship is all that they have?

You've gotta love "Vanity Fair", thoughGermaphobe? I thought he had Russian prostitutes pissing on him. Which is it?

Hello Tacomaman,
If DT had been saddled with trying to bring about a recovery, he would have failed. He would have embraced austerity.

It's terrifying. Not just to the rest of us who are inflicted with this hot mess of an IMPOTUS, but that it's possible for one individual to so influence others that they essentially become mindless zombies.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
IMPOTUS has no rallies scheduled.
Maybe he is afraid his flock might be imperiled?
Or is he just afraid for himself...

Hahaha -- hilarious. I'm sure the sagging ego will require a boost by and by. If the lack of rallies is because he's concerned about COVID-19, it's not for the sake of his worshipers; it's his own flabby ass he's worried about.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
Well, if that's the case he has a lot to worry about.
A small army of yes-men could gather in the shade.

So the recent market meltdown is Obama's then. Only imbeciles can't spell "imbecile".
This is Trump's "leadership" moment, and he is failing miserably.
Flailing around, rage tweeting, casting blame on others, imagining conspiracy theories.
What we need is a leader who is calm, cool, collected, does not freak out, and calmly facilitates the collective actions and advice of the nation's best scientific and health experts. Come to think of it, Trump needs to act more like President Obama.

Well, that will never happen. *sigh*
You're right. This is a time when the POTUS should be calmly reassuring everyone that panic isn't necessary. He should be on hand to visit with recovered victims, rather than insisting that he doesn't want those cruise ship ppl on American shores because they'll fuck up his "numbers." But no -- let's have a tax cut! *That* will make everyone forget the coronavirus!

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
Calm reassurance from a racist liar?
I'm surprised he isn't out there blaming immigrants and claiming the wall will stop the virus so we have to build it faster.

He did say the wall has helped stop Corona.
