"President Trump is a ratings hit. " Trump tweeted now rather than empathy for victims

[Demovictory9]

“President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise...

1. Prove it.

[Windy City Charlie]

2. And...

And what's the average death rate been from COVID-19 during these daily briefings? Or should say televised campaign rallies.

[Ohiogal]

3. Just when you think he can't go any lower ...

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. I never think that, but this...

[Rorey]

4. This "people dying thing" is ratings gold

[Wounded Bear]

20. Traditional news saying...If it bleeds, it leads...

[DemoTex]

5. Vx3

Vapid, vainglorious villain.

[renate]

6. .... I am speechless

THIS is what he’s tweeting right now?

This is meta-vile. He’s satirizing himself.

[shanti]

7. Sick, sick fuck.

[Demovictory9]

10. he spewed a flurry of tweets this morning.. about ratings and "lamestream media"

[SWBTATTReg]

28. Instead of working, he tweets. Instead of rolling up his sleeves, and hitting the grindstone,

he tweets. Instead of calling those who lost family members, etc., he tweets. Instead of holding a true, valid, helpful news conference, he blabbers on endlessly and tweets.

Some worthless president. Remember this in Nov. 2020, although I wouldn't mind if the powers that be remove him earlier and route him immediately to jail where he so richly deserves.

And, twitter should disconnect him from twitter. His texts have nothing to do w/ reality and in fact, do more harm then good.

[Tech]

8. Coronavirus numbers are continuing to rise. And will do so long after his "ratings"

Stop rising

[Doodley]

9. This is a reality TV show to him.

[NightWatcher]

11. Forces his way into every network and then brags about beating Bachelor numbers?

What a sicko.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. It's like the fucking movie, "Running Man."

.


5:15 into it.

"This is television, that's all it is. It's nothing to do with people. It's to do with the ratings."

.

[ooky]

13. Why his own followers don't want to vomit when

reading this is amazing. These people are a sick bunch of fucks.

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. A deadly pandemic has made me a hit! What a sicko.

[dalton99a]

22. Yep. He is loving it.

[smirkymonkey]

15. What the HELL is wrong with him?

He is such a sick motherfucker. I can't even get my mind around this level of sociopathy.

[Windy City Charlie]

16. No wonder

No wonder he wants to open the economy back up in 2 weeks. He wants the virus to spread so these briefings can continue to be a ratings hit for him.

[dalton99a]

23. +1

[uponit7771]

17. This is abusive

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. F*@#!

[dalton99a]

21. USA: 135,627 cases. 2,384 dead.

Evil, sick fuck

[renate]

24. If we weren't frogs in a pot of boiling water, this would be 25th Amendment material

In anyone else, this would be evidence of a dissociation from reality. But because it’s him, it will barely get noticed.

[Under The Radar]

25. So is Joe Exotic in "Tiger King"

There must be something amazing about utter ignorance.

[C_U_L8R]

26. That is ghoulish.

Dancing on dead people. Go away Trump.

[underpants]

27. Aside from just being a general asshole, the "reviving" is a smack in Pence's face

His nodding stupid face

[WePurrsevere]

29. "A ratings hit"? It's not always because people actually ENJOY the show

(and yes that's pretty much what this is for him).

For some people watching Trump blather on in one of his narcissistic crazy rants is similar to watching a train in horror, with tankers full of explosives, that you know will blow up and will have horrendous consequences but you just can't seem to turn away from the nightmare that you're watching.

I suspect (am hopeful) that disgust and fatigue directed at him will increase the more he's out there spouting crazy stuff, attacking governors, like Cuomo, who are obviously MUCH more competent than he is, contradicting himself, lying and doing his normal self-aggrandizing especially when hyping himself over others that are much more deserving of our respect, thanks and admiration.

[world wide wally]

30. Imagine what the ratings would be for your resignation speech, Donnie Dumbfuck

[PA Democrat]

31. Malignant narcissism seems grossly inadequate to describe this level of depravity.

His inability to even ACKNOWLEDGE the level of suffering and pain this country is going through is surreal. He thinks of no one but himself, and enjoys inflicting pain on millions of innocent people out of petty revenge against their governors. He is despicable beyond words.

Every single one of his Republican enablers share in the blame.

[MaryMagdaline]

32. Yea FDR was a ratings hit and your building was the tallest after 911

Sociopath

[bronxiteforever]

33. Kick and recommend for visibility. Horrifying

[rickford66]

34. Quit broadcasting live

Just report anything important after the rally.

At the very least, have a split screen and show the ICU's, the nurses in trash bags, the refrigerated morgues, etc.

[JudyM]

36. THAT is a great idea, having a split screen.

[Alacritous Crier]

35. Filthy, foul bastard! -- nt
