When he's out of office, we're going to learn things about this administration and what really went on behind the scenes. It will be astounding.

Like...he really believes the real news is fake and things are going well?

Or it’s his narcissistic mind that makes him cling to any shred of positivity and ignore the massive bad news about the virus?

I honestly don’t know. He seems to believe the ignorant things he says, and the silly charts they provide.

Funny thing is he's right.

Great to see someone standing up to him

He was clearly flustered by that.

It’s the whole right wing approach—they only accept someone inside their bubble as an authority. Any mention of objective data and they say “you can’t believe that data”.

That’s why it’s useless to debate with a Trump supporter—they don’t know what the rules of debate are.

The first rule? An accepted set of facts.
