Bragging about ratings has been Trump's schtick since he started running, that is not new or news.

The normalization of behavior previously regarded as completely unacceptable is one of the more dangerous aspects of the Divider-in-Chief's presidency.

For someone who's "woke" and supposedly champions diversity and tolerance, I'm always mystified by how intolerant the Left is toward all things Trump. As Hannibal Lecter would say "what is it in and of itself"?
You can evaluate Trump's life experiences and personality development the way we looked at Obama's and make judgments. Was he raised by wolves? Was he deprived? Was he privileged? Does he have a personality disorder or two? Is he really smart or just really ******* lucky?
What I like about Trump is that he's a workaholic, and knows how the upper crust runs the country.

So I'm not "normalizing" Trump's behavior, I'm tolerating it knowing that is his personality.

Tolerating behaviors are how they become normalized.

What behaviors of Trump should not be corrected or normalized?
Should a shrink give Trump feedback in the NYT so we can track his progress?

Now would have been an excellent time for Trump to rise above the bullshit and finally become The President. He could have strolled to an easy reelection but he cannot do it. Hard partisan till the bitter end. He is ultimately a coward and true heroics are beyond him.

FYI, he's strolling to an easy election now and if the leftists chose Quid Pro Joe its over.

Nothing leads to reelection like failed policy, huge deficits, and shutting down the country.

1. Trump's promises kept are more than enough for reelection
2. Deficits are just what DC does, like they are unusual?!
3. Shutting down the country was required to save lives, especially healthcare lives

His failures are many. Where is the best healthcare? Tax cuts neither paid for themselves or grew the economy. Trillion dollar deficits during good times are not normal. Now the country is shut down from his poor leadership.

Then, Trump grabbed the podium and seemed to contradict what Fauci said about chloroquine: “I’m probably more of a fan of that — maybe than anybody. But I’m a big fan, and we’ll see what happens. We all understand what the doctor [Fauci] said is 100 percent correct: It’s early. But I have seen things that are impressive. We’ll see. We’re gonna know soon.”

As reporters further questioned him, Trump stood his ground. He pointed out that the drug has been effective for malaria. Upon the suggestion there’s no “magic drug” for Covid-19, he responded, “I disagree. Maybe and maybe not.” Trump insisted he agreed with Fauci, but he also went on, “I feel good about it. That’s all it is: Just a feeling. I’m a smart guy.” Trump later added, “I’ve been right a lot. Let’s see what happens.”

Trump’s expert urged caution about a coronavirus treatment. Trump hyped it up anyway.

The coronavirus pandemic requires clear leadership. We are not getting that.

Let's put aside the at best dubious claim the Moron-in-Chief is a "smart guy." The guy with an attention span the length of a tweet. It is tremendously irresponsible to build up the public's hope with no scientifically proven reason to do so.

Trump is bragging on Twitter about his coronavirus briefings getting lots of viewers

www.vox.com

President Donald Trump boasted about the ratings of his daily live news conferences on the coronavirus Sunday, and suggested that the large viewer numbers — rather than the misleading remarks he has made during them — are fueling discussions in the media about ending the practice of broadcasting them live and unfiltered.

“Because the ‘Ratings’ of my News Conferences etc. are so high, ‘Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers’ according to the [New York Times], the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.
...................................................................................................................................................
This kind of behavior is what would land most people in front of professionals to get psychiatric care.

Um, if the leader of the country is talking on TV during an end of the world event created by the media should one not listen ? Honestly, I like it when he rubs it in CNN's face that the only reason anyone watches them is when they are stuck in an airport or when Trump speaks. That and how y'all cry about it.

It's just the way he is - pitifully starved for attention and acceptance.

He knows the Trumpsters will gobble up everything he says and ask for more, and I suspect he thinks he's changing opinions of him with his standard tedious rambling, comical hyperbole and highly suspect "facts".

He could just play the emcee and introduce the people who are actually professional and articulate and know what they're talking about, but that's like asking an alcoholic to just pour the drinks. He can't help himself.

Ok, your perspective is just "partisan", Trump's approval rating is fine, we'll see in November if the voters prefer Biden.
1. Obamacare was a failure, we didn't save $2,500 each, we lost up to $10,000 each in new deductibles. The Obamacare rollout and the web site that didn't work was the biggest disaster and embarrassment in US history. It was a train wreck, and you whine about Trump.
2. Tax cuts did help the economy, but the Debt needs to be addressed, Medicare will be bankrupt in 2026, and SS bankrupt in 2037. WTF did Nancy and her House majority do to help the Budget? <nothing>
3. Partial shutdown is required, its a pandemic, do we want 2.2m dead? No we don't.
4. If you are correct and Trump is a failure then you have nothing to worry about in November. Why whine about everything? Joe Biden will save the day like "mighty mouse".

I’m an independent. What was partisan?
He promised the best healthcare and failed to pass anything. Fact.
He promised the tax cuts would pay for themselves and we would have 4-6% growth. He delivered trillion dollar deficits and less than 3% growth.
Trump promised a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it. There is no wall and Mexico sure isn’t paying for it.

He has been a failure. That doesn’t require being partisan.

"More and more each day, President Trump is using his daily briefings as a substitute for the campaign rallies that have been forced into extinction by the spread of the novel coronavirus.
These White House sessions — ostensibly meant to give the public critical and truthful information about this frightening crisis — are in fact working against that end.
Rather, they have become a daily stage for Trump to play his greatest hits to captive audience members. They come in search of life-or-death information, but here’s what they get from him instead:
● Self-aggrandizement. When asked how he would grade his response to the crisis, the president said, “I’d rate it a 10.” Absurd on its face, of course, but effective enough as blatant propaganda

● Media-bashing. When NBC News’s Peter Alexander lobbed him a softball question in Friday’s briefing — “What do you say to Americans who are scared?” — Trump went on a bizarre attack. “I say, you’re a terrible reporter,” the president said, launching into one of his trademark “fake news” rants bashing Alexander’s employer. (Meanwhile, he has also found time during these news briefings to lavish praise on sycophantic pro-Trump media like One America News Network, whose staffer — I can’t call her a reporter — invited him to justify his xenophobic talk of a “Chinese virus” by asking rhetorically if he considers the phrase “Chinese food” racist.)"
