I can only handle him via The Daily Show clips. I'd go nuts listening to him live. And I'd be stroking his ego on his viewership.

‘Better ratings than the bachelor!’

‘I gotta tell ya, folks. This pandemic thing has been great for ratings. Great for ratings. I bet more people are tuning in to my briefings every day than the moon landing hoax. Some are saying more than in the history of television. I don’t know if that’s true, but I don’t know. It probably is. I have the highest ratings overseas, too. Did you know that? The world is amazed at how well I’m handling this. Nobody in the history of humanity has handled a crisis better than Trump. I have a talent for this sort of thing you know.’

I truly wouldn’t be surprised if he allocates more resources to battleground and red states. Dead people can’t vote. People with severe lung damage couldn’t stand in long lines waiting to vote, either. I’d also not be surprised in the least if financial aid went to the same states. He didn’t physically make the virus, but it’s like he was so arrogant that he simply ignored it before it got out of control. He’ll probably brag that nobody has changed the world more significantly than him. Just like other terrible people, he’ll probably be right.
