Trump touts TV ratings of coronavirus briefings
President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday and repeatedly bragged about the television ratings of his near-daily coronavirus press briefings.
“Because the “‘ratings’ of my News Conferences etc. are so high, ‘Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers’ according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY,” Trump tweeted. “‘Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him.’ said one lunatic.”
He then made sure to plug his briefing later that day: “See you at 5:00 P.M.!”
It was one of five tweets Trump sent Sunday highlighting a New York Times article from the previous week on the number of people regularly turning in to watch him brief the nation on the crisis. (It’s unclear what “lunatic” quote Trump was referring to, but the Times did quote MSNBC host Rachel Maddow saying, “I would stop putting those briefings on live TV — not out of spite, but because it’s misinformation.”)

People are dying but he's happy about the TV ratings. What a sick fuck.
