Donald Trump wants to be called a wartime president, entirely appropriately since he has been waging war against this country from Day One. Hes always picking marketing bits from history, as whispered to him by his flunkies, that succeeded in glorifying genuinely great people slogans like America first or honorifics like Great Emancipator.
His war has run the gamut from the personal to the national: Degrading the level of discourse into the gutter, denigrating anybody of accomplishments and integrity, and elevating amorality. And nationally, having no concept of acting for the public good, only for what he thinks is good for him, trying to literally demolish the principles and structure of this countrys democracy, transforming government into his own mob cartel.
In a recent poll, 55% of those polled were negative about the response to COVID-19, but blamed the federal government for the trouble. Somebody asked why Trump is not named instead, and the answer was, Because his supporters think the government is their enemy and that he is fighting it for them.
It would be laughable, if not so dangerous, that he really believes he is great and that anything he says and does can have no relation to truth or value and will never be questioned.

It is great that your paper published it, too. That needs to be seen.
Thanks for sharing it.
