Trump has done a lot to piss me off, but the bit about wanting to slow down testing tops it all.

I cannot remember the last time I was this angry.

The notion that a world leader would slow down Covid testing so as to not make the numbers look as bad.

It's criminal. It's cruel and callous and narcissistic. It should be disqualifying from holding office for one more second.

When people die, they don't come back. Your immuno-compromised sibling. Your elderly parent. To be OK with actual deaths occurring on your watch because you don't like the perception of bad numbers makes you an awful, awful person. Not incompetent. Not a clown. A bad person.

I need to take my dog out or listen to music or something. My blood is boiling.

The President’s obsessive, narcissistic desire to make himself look better, even at the cost of human lives, is unacceptable because it is morally reprehensible.

Evil bastard. He wants people to die. He gets off on suffering and death. As long as he can find a way to fudge the numbers and spin the narrative, he doesn't really care what happens to his fellow Americans. We are all just pawns in the big reality show of his pathetic life.

why on earth would he make such an admission (assuming he wasn't "joking" that no-one actually believes)?
