Sally Yates Asks: "People are dying & our president is reveling in his press conference TV ratings?"

Sally Yates

People are dying. Everyone is anxious, many downright scared. Healthcare workers are literally risking, and sometimes losing, their lives to care for us. We don’t have enough ventilators or PPE. And our president is reveling in his press conference TV ratings?

They are pretty useless anyway as far as information goes.

Imagine the delusions of grandeur and narcissism it would take to not just think that but take the time to type that out and then hit send.

Sends any sympathy to those that have died.

If you just listen to him you'd still think no one has died and this is just like the flu. NOTHING about actual deaths.... but, hey, his ratings are good.

His briefs and show just clips from the doctors.

But all the main stations are owned by corporations that owe him for giving them millions of dollars.

In a normal world no one would get away with what he has.

Its kind of like Trump sat back and saw all the stuff Bush and Cheney got away with and thought I can do anything.

is that his approval ratings are going up even though he screwed this whole thing up from jump!! My God, what in the hell is wrong with people? How cruel people seem to be. Even if you only pay attention half the time, you still should have gotten a clue by now.

Seriously, Trump will, as a result of his jacking-off, lies, misinformation, dreams of BS will get a lot of people killed. And, he is OK with that.

Not just reveling in his press, but also insinuating people are stealing the ppe. I am sick to my stomach, and I can't sleep anymore. I don't like carrying this hate around, but I can't seem to get rid of it. How in God's name could his approval numbers possibly go up? Maybe it's us. Maybe we're not seeing something everyone else sees? I fantasize about getting a baseball bat and.......

He's narcissistic, dishonest and stupid.
These briefings are revealing that and more.

As the death tally soars, this nonsense he's spewing will come back to haunt him.

It's going to be like a series of Willie Horton ads on steroids based on the truth.

And all that has ever mattered -- himself, to the exclusion and detriment of everyone and everything else.
