Someone else said something along these lines. He is a flailing, abject failure. Nothing he says or does helps anything, not least himself. With that said he is no doubt welcoming the distraction from his failure on the pandemic.

Putin and Russia are being given way too much credit. This shit show belongs to Trump alone.

What I am seeing is civic engagement on a level not seen in a long time. I'm not talking about the looters. I'm talking about people turning out (during a pandemic no less) to peacefully protest in cities large and small across the nation. That is not a sign of a country that has lost its way, at least to me.
