While the country is in disarray, the President wants you to know he’s the real victim here because Twitter fact checked two of his tweets pic.twitter.com/Oh5XSTvWa5

Trump understands that the one thing that Americans care more about than getting sick, dying or losing their jobs is Section 230 of the CDA.

So, to recap: Today the president got everyone to focus on “section 230 of the communications decency act” with 100,000 dead and 40 million out of work.

Well, the stock market wasn't distracted:

Stocks gave back most of their gains Thursday after President Trump said he would give a news conference Friday regarding China. Here's how the major averages performed:
- The Dow fell 147 points.
- The S&P 500 dropped .21%.
- The Nasdaq lost .46%. https://t.co/5Yi6dkkvGv pic.twitter.com/yknlRaBfsE

Neither was the Secretary of State under Obama:

Over the last 24 hours, the 100,000th American died of COVID-19 on Trump’s watch.

He’s spent the last 24 hours sharing videos that begin "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" while complaining Twitter’s censoring him.

We need a real president. https://t.co/bqnPUACScf

Imagine being as bad at your job as he is at being President

Maybe we should fix that "you can't be fired" provision.

Unusually sharp Chamber of Commerce statement about the president's EO: “Regardless of the circumstances that led up to this, this is not how public policy is made in the United States. An executive order cannot be properly used to change federal law.” https://t.co/O4EDNTMPcA

Yeah, this is a good look for the GOP.

President Trump says he would shut down @Twitter if his lawyers found a way to do it but there are hurdles.

"I'd have to go through a legal process," he says, per White House pool report.

"First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."*


*I had a t-shirt with that printed on it, back in the late '70's when it was popular.  I wore it down the apartment complex pool, where an older guy congratulated me on it and expressed his support for the sentiment.  He grumbled and left shortly after I laughed and said I was going to law school.  I may have even explained to him that Shakespeare meant it as a formula for chaos and anarchy, not a solution to society's ills.
