  2. Trump is now bragging about the ratings of his daily live news conferences on the coronavirus, and suggested that the large viewer numbers — rather than the multiple lies he has told during them — are fueling discussions in the media about ending the practice of broadcasting them live and unfiltered. Trump: “Because the ratings of my News Conferences etc. are so high, ‘Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers’ according to the NYT, the Lamestream Media is going crazy" Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon. Apparently this is all a game to him. What Trump's utterly oblivious, self-absorbed, Ineffectual pompous a$$ doesn't realize is that the American people aren't tuning in because of him, we are tuning in because we want to keep up-to-date on the coronavirus and the US’s policies on it. The American people are watching the press briefings to hear from the coronavirus task force, which includes top public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci,  Dr. Deborah Birx, and others on the task force. Trump has made dozens of false claims during the briefings, which have directly led to the loss of lives, including overstating the potential of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19, to falsely saying that anyone who wants to be tested for coronavirus infections can be, to claiming that the coronavirus will magically disappear, to claiming that there are no shortages of coronavirus tests, to claiming that America has tested more people than any country in the world, to claiming that the coronavirus was no different than the flu.
