If you’d like some pure, unadulterated Donald Trump injected straight into your veins, the New York Post is here for you. The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid got an hour-long interview with Trump and is running the semi-coherent bits a little at a time. The big headline? Trump says Trump was right about the novel coronavirus, and “there’s a great optimism” in the United States right now.
No, really. Never mind the polls, never mind the steadily rising death count or the unemployment: “I think they’re starting to feel good now,” Trump said of Americans. “The country’s opening again. We saved millions of lives, I think.” Of himself and the lessons learned from coronavirus (as if it’s not still an ongoing crisis), he said: “Now, the one thing that the pandemic has taught us is that I was right,” Trump said. “You know, I had people say, ‘No, no, it’s good. You keep—you do this and that.’ Now those people are really agreeing with me. And that includes medicine and other things, you know.” Shockingly, Trump doesn’t seem to have named the people who previously disagreed but now think he did everything right.
