Like, your views on Twitter are valid but are actually irrelevant here and posting this stuff here deflects from consideration of the real poison to US Democracy that is Trump. And I'm sure you wouldn't support that.

Today is one of those moments. 100,000 lives have now been lost to this virus here in the United States alone. Each one leaving behind a family that will never again be whole. I think I know what you’re feeling. You feel like you’re being sucked into a black hole in the middle of your chest. It’s suffocating. Your heart is broken. There’s nothing but a feeling of emptiness right now. For most of you, you weren’t able to be there when you lost your beloved family member or best friend. For most of you, you weren’t able to be there when they died alone. With the pain, the anger, and the frustration, you’ll wonder whether or not you’ll be able to get anywhere from here. It’s made all the worse by knowing that this is a fateful milestone that we should have never reached that could have been avoided. According to a study done by Columbia University, if the administration had acted just one week earlier to implement social distancing, and do what it had to do, just one week sooner as many as 36,000 of these deaths might have been averted. To all of you who are hurting so badly, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know there is nothing I or anyone else can say or do to dull the sharpness of the pain that you feel right now, but I can promise you from experience, the day will come when the memory of your loved one will bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes. My prayer for all of you is that day will come sooner rather than later, but I promise you it will come, and when it does, you know you can make it. God bless each and every one of you, and the blessed memory of the one you lost. The nation grieves with you. Take some solace from the fact we all grieve with you. " What a contrast!!!

It's such a cesspit of a communication tool and is ruining the way major events and happenings get reported. I hate reading a news article interspersed with pointless tweets or trying to read a tweet stream from a journalist whose only concern seemingly is to get news out fast rather than in a well written, detailed and useful piece. Brexit news is the same, from the outside it at times looks like negotiation by twitter the way we see things. Dumbing down news to fit into a 140 (or whatever it is now) character blip has done a disservice to humanity as a whole.

His response was "No , everything was perfect , I'd change nothing". 100,000 and counting are dead and he'd do absolutely NOTHING differently?? Nothing at all??! He is incapable of admitting a mistake or even recognizing opportunities for improvement in anything he says or does.
