Is anyone else watching this?! He is literally ranting like a man possessed, I've never seen anything like it. He's declared war on the media (I know we're used to him lashing out at journalists but this is on another level)

I'm watching it on CNN and they have breaking news straplines like "Trump uses task force briefing to rewrite history on coronavirus response", "Angry Trump turns briefing into propaganda session" and "Angry Trump uses propaganda video, produced by government employees at taxpayers' expense"

He has just said, verbatim: "When somebody is President of the United States, that authority is total"

I thought our daily briefings were bullshit Shock

Is trump pished out his tree?? He cannot put a sentence together and what ones he is putting together is repeating things and stumbling and bumbling through it. This is painful to watch...

The only consolation about the US demonstrations is that it is Darwinism in action, and it will be Trump's supporters who suffer the consequences most. The problem of course is all the innocent people they will take with them.

There is quite obviously some kind of issue with Trumps mental capabilities/state of mind. Melania gives little hints all the time. I’d hate to be her, or anyone else in his ‘inner circles’.
He clearly loves a despot authoritarian leader, and cosies up to any and all as often as he can.

Agreed. In someways I can believe he hasn’t had an attempted assassination in him, but then I remembered the kind of people who do that crazy shit are actually his supporters Hmm
