Deranged Trump Obsessed with "Ratings" As Bodies Pile Up
In a moment of undeniable tension during the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump's fixation on the "ratings" of his press conferences shines through. This video addresses the stark contrast between a leader engrossed in media appeal and the grim realities of a public health crisis, where bodies pile up due to poor management and response.
The discussion reveals a troubling pattern in Trump's communication strategy. Instead of addressing the urgent needs of citizens facing a deadly virus, he often defaults to berating "fake news" and lamestream media, attempting to divert blame from his administration's failures. As deaths and infections escalated, Trump tweeted about the high viewership of his briefings, likening them to popular television events like The Bachelor or Monday Night Football. However, experts argue that the increasing audience is not born from entertainment but from public desperation for clear and honest information regarding the pandemic.
The video, capturing a critical analysis of Trump's approach, highlights how an overwhelming 8.5 million viewers turned in for these briefings amidst the crisis. Yet, despite this viewership, Trump's focus remained on self-promotion rather than providing reassurance or actionable information to address the pandemic's challenges.
As viewers were hoping to hear about effective measures and a clear plan, they were instead met with self-congratulatory remarks and attacks on the media. This lack of substantive discourse is further emphasized when commentators express concern for the sociopathic implications of such behavior amidst suffering and death, illustrating a leader seemingly more concerned with public perception than public health.
