Even in the face of a global pandemic, President Donald Trump hasn't dispensed with his typical pettiness.

The President made that perfectly clear on Sunday afternoon, as deaths caused by the national health crisis continued to increase.


In a multi-tweet thread, the President boasted that the ratings for his press briefings regarding the virus were getting higher ratings than other popular television shows, citing a New York Times article.

Read below.






The day after this tweet from Trump, deaths from the virus surpassed 2,400.

The President also left out a crucial point from the New York Times piece: that networks are debating whether or not to continue airing them live due to a flow of information that can't be fact-checked in real time.

Even Fox News analyst Brit Hume, who recently praised Trump's now-abandoned suggestion to reopen the country by Easter, was flummoxed by the tweets.

Hume, however, isn't blameless.

He and his network played an integral role not only in Trump's election, but in the legitimization of the thousands of falsehoods he's told since his inauguration.

They weren't about to let Hume off the hook.





Does Brit think this behavior is new?



The answer to Hume's question is actually pretty simple.



Maybe—just maybe—the ratings for Trump's pressers are so high because Americans are looking for leadership in the throes of a national crisis.

We're still waiting for it.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.
