At CDC, Trump is flanked by AZAR and REDFIELD — two officials facing most scrutiny over coronavirus response. TRUMP: Doctor, do you want to make a little statement?

Telling moment earlier, when asked about coronavirus test availability. AZAR: You won’t believe me, why don’t you talk to Dr Redfield. REDFIELD: We’ve now shipped out… enough to test 75,000 people at the public health labs now. TRUMP: Anybody who wants a test can get a test.pic.twitter.com/3t4HovKiFI

The whole thread is gross. Trump’s not fit to speak let alone be president. His “best” people are literally the worst.

I am so tired of having a lying, malignant narcissist for a President. But even more than that, I’m SICK of people pandering to him and acting like his behavior is normal.
