Now we have a Trump who expects to be praised like a toddler that went potty for the first time ... anytime he manages to act like an adult for a few moments.
For months now hundreds of millions Americans have been wearing a mask in public without incident, but for some reason this seems to be a monumental accomplishment for the Drama Queen in Chief.
The douchebag finally puts on a mask and pundits are acting he's now ready to be President. I'm waiting for Van Jones and Dana Bash to tell me that Trump has become the President that America needs right now

We may have been an envy of the world, but I think the shine of the US had begun to tarnish quite some time before Trump came along.
I get your point though.
