- Trump is a narcissist whose limited intellect matches that of its base of brainwashed supporters who proudly proclaim, "He thinks like us."
- Trump's toolbox contains a single item that, to the delight of the right-wing ideologues, happens to be the very device they have used in their nine-decade-long effort to undermine and destroy The New Deal. That device is unscrupulous rhetoric.
- Both Trump and his obsequious GOP abhor and obstruct all change save for the words they use to frame their execrable policies.
The convergence of Trump's narcissism and the unbounded lust for power of the thug controlling the Senate has turned America into a country with a government that rejects science and instead uses a three word phrase to determine the appropriate actions it will take to confront a pandemic.

- President Donald Trump thinks that too much coronavirus testing makes the US "look bad."
- "The media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad," Trump said on Wednesday.
- The US still lags behind other countries in terms of the share of the population tested for coronavirus.
- Public-health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have warned against reopening the country and easing coronavirus restrictions without a robust testing system in place.
