Trump lost his re-election in February.
Instead of heeding his smarter advisors on the right course of action, he listened to himself and the sycophants that reflect his worst instincts. Instead of seizing on the moment to be ~Presidential~ he instead chose to make cheap political points with the base in denouncing/minimizing the risk we, as a nation, faced.
In late February he was publicly calling the virus a Democratic Party Hoax. And the death calculus was that the real damage would occur in the Urban population centers, so that's why he wanted to liberate the American people from wearing masks. A few hundred thousand voting Democrats was no big deal to Donald.
But, turns out that Democrats are the intelligent party. They listen to the scientists and do the things necessary to mitigate their exposure. His voters believed his BS about masks not needed and various other snake-oil profit opportunities. Now they are the ones paying the price.
So he can't have his in-public victory lap/convention because he caused this problem and when his virtual moment happens, he's going to be trying to explain why he deserves another 4 years.
That's going to be a special moment in American political history. I hope the complete mental breakdown is Youtubed.
