As LysolGate ground the Covid press conferences to a halt, the president moved to fill up a few more pages of the DSM with his tweets. I thought it would be interesting to line up Trump’s tweets in a timeline next to the number of deaths under his watch. This written record is not as bad as the oral record, but it’s still worse than you think. Take a look at The Virus vs The Virus: A Trump Twitter Timeline. (Editor’s note: Now that it’s too politically damaging for Trump to be there, the often multi-hour, daily White House press Covid briefings have been canceled. In other words, they were rallies all along. Never forget the cable news networks showed every minute live, right up to the end.)

+ NYT: 260,000 Words, Full of Self-Praise, From Trump on the Virus. (And close to zero words of empathy…)

+ White House officials say Trump works so hard, he often misses lunch. (Then Lysol must be loaded with calories…)
