Trump Snapshots

Here's a tweet by The Washington Post's Philip Rucker on April 30, 2020:

Since the U.S. death toll surpassed 60,000 yesterday, Trump has tweeted about:
-Michael Flynn
-CNN
-MSNBC
-Brian Williams
-Don Lemon
-Joe Scarborough
-Sweden
-Roger Stone
-His poll numbers
-Jim Comey
-Hillary Clinton’s campaign
-Rep. Jim Ryun’s birthday

And here's a quote from an article dated May 1 by NewsHound Ellen at Crooks & Liars, entitled "Trump Boasts: ‘Our Death Totals … Are Really Very, Very Strong’":

On the day that the U.S. death total from the coronavirus pandemic topped 60,000 and remains the highest in the world, Donald Trump boasted that nobody’s done a better job than he.

TRUMP: I don’t think anybody’s done a better job -- with testing, with ventilators, with all of the things that we’ve done. And our death totals — our numbers per million people — are really very, very strong. We’re very proud of the job we’ve done.”

From an interview with Steve Holland of Reuters:

"I don't believe the polls," Trump said. "I believe the people of this country are smart. And I don't think that they will put a man in who's incompetent."

Sorry, Donald. That ship has sailed. Or, as Stephen Colbert put it:

"You're right; the people of this country wouldn't. The Electoral College, on the other hand -- they're fine with it."
