Trump can't beat the coronavirus so now he wants to use it as a weapon in the November election..........................
...............among the few calls a frustrated Trump agrees to take as he molders away in the White House are from his campaign manager, Brad Parscale. After Trump has heard the bad news about the coronavirus from his medical experts at his daily press briefing, what do Trump and Parscale discuss? The latest polling data, the Times reports.
Bingo. At six oclock hes hearing that the body count has hit 50,000. At nine, hes hearing how far he is behind Biden in the key swing states of Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio. If hes running behind now, with 50,000 dead, whats it going to look like in October or November when the number tops 100,000?
Trump is balancing the grim news from his medical experts against the equally grim news from his campaign manager. When the choice is between dead people or his reelection, its an easy call. He is going to let it rip. His poll numbers are already so bad, he doesnt have anything to lose. Whats another 50,000 to 100,000 dead compared to four more years of profiteering from the White House?

News flash, Donny. The people at the anti-lockdown protests are almost entirely your voters.

I don't think he's capable of semi rational thinking. Everything is just reaction to anything

Good luck with that. (And I mean that sarcastically.)

the present government refuses to send medical supplies, ie. swabs, PPEs, gowns, gloves, ventilators to mainly blue states. They are downright stealing the medical supplies and tell blue states to bid for them which equates to higher cost.

That bruises his fragile ego. Carry a grudge is more important than looking at cause-effect.
