      Tweets like this make it seem more and more like the inadequate testing has been an intentional strategy to keep the numbers artificially low. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1235604572850343937 …

      Beyond either incompetence or intentionality there is Trump's fundamental commitment to The Power of Positive Thinking and the value of boasting. I think that's what is driving this.

          Trump's happy talk didn't help the stock market today. It probably scared investors that the president is so ignorant.

          No. Trump wants re-election and has to keep the lies flowing so he keeps the testing numbers low, which keeps the story slightly muzzled. His problem is that not all the states will follow his lead. Trump is only for Trump. Have we not learned anything?

          Trump's only commitment reflected here is to himself. So, yeah, that does involve deluded thinking.

          We’ll know he doesn’t believe his own baloney if he stops holding campaign rallies with yuge crowds.

          Stock market. All driven by the market. Literally just saying nonsensical upbeat stuff hoping it'll turn the market around. Economy has been wobbly since September the virus is the thing that might tip it over. He's freaking out scared, when obviously he should be leading.

          I’d say it’s more “power of misinformation” than “power of positive thinking”. He’s not thinking of anything except covering his a$$ to get re-elected.

          It's not the power of positive thinking, it's the inability to accept criticism and admit that he doesn't know what he is talking about.
