When Trump gets loose.Perhaps the visit to CDC should have stayed canceled...— Susan Glasser (@sbg1) March 6, 2020
Apress interaction with the president about a public health crisis, where he wears a campaign hat, repeatedly offers false information about availability of testing, talks about ratings, and the head of the CDC says the “most important” thing he can say is how great Trump is. https://t.co/uHoqwltzkd— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 6, 2020
Trump, as I've said many times, views himself as a wartime president w/blue America, not any foreign adversary, as the target. His constant instinct is to mobilize red America by painting blue America as incompetent & dangerous. Not even a national health crisis can change that. https://t.co/ADowdD7XpE— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) March 6, 2020
Trump cultivates this bullshit. The main thing CDC director wants to say is thank Trump for decisive leadership and giving everyone energy to carry on? WTF. The President's ego is the top of the priority list. He's already been failing miserably. https://t.co/w5azeBsRZ8— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) March 6, 2020

After weeks of the Federal Government dragging its feet on COVID-19 testing, Trump just admitted in front of the cameras he wants to manipulate the measurement of the outbreak for his personal political benefit.— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) March 6, 2020
And by the way: totally contained.This is a really important moment. The CDC presser was one of the most frightening things I’ve ever watched, and it should be reported that way.— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) March 7, 2020
He straight up lied - said everyone can get tested when, in fact, almost no one can. And the shameless self promoting off a crisis... https://t.co/Iso5wgM98w

Having a clearly mentally deficient king, I think we should use this to attack the unitary executive road to fascism and other such ideas of "federalism". This is proof that that and such things as classical economics is catastrophically irresponsible governmental and legal theory. Bringing us back to the gilded age is in no way different from bringing us back to the worst of the late medieval period.
