Trump brags about TV ratings but stays silent about deaths of Americans

There is only one number Donald Trump wants to discuss.
Donald Trump in recent weeks has repeatedly boasted of the high ratings for his dishonest daily briefings on COVID-19. But he has spent almost no time consoling Americans after the loss of thousands of lives to the pandemic.
Based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is currently the nation's deadliest disease, killing more people per day than any other cause. As of Thursday, the CDC reported more than 14,000 deaths had resulted from the virus in the United States.
However, Donald Trump has said little about the death toll. A review of his tweets since the first American coronavirus death was confirmed on Feb. 29 finds few mentions of those who have died from the disease.
On Wednesday, he told Americans that, unless they experienced a personal loss due to COVID-19, they should put the pandemic behind them as soon as it was over.
