Episode description

On the last day of April President Trump, busy handling the COVID 19 crisis which has now claimed 64,000 lives in the US, tweeted and retweeted 74 items of vital interest to the American public during this pandemic. These included attacks on the media with;

"I must admit that Lyin’ Brian Williams is, while dumber than hell, quite a bit smarter than Fake News CNN “anchorman” Don Lemon, the “dumbest man on television”. Then you have Psycho Joe “What Ever Happened To Your Girlfriend?” Scarborough, another of the low I.Q. individuals!"


Earlier in the day President Trump said praised his own handling of the pandemic crisis in which the USA has more active cases and deaths from COVID19 than any other country, by saying,"I don't think anyone's done a better job". 


He also boasted about the 'death total' being 'strong' saying,

“Our death totals, our numbers per million people, are really very, very strong,

We are very proud of the job we have done.”


This echoes his son-in-law Jared Kushner's remarks earlier in the week when the 'death total' was at 61,000 deaths, "This is a great success story, and I think that's really what needs to be told".
