Trump Claims That God Released Coronavirus To Test His Own Greatness

Earlier this month, Trump raised some eyebrows again with yet another comment that betrayed his legendary levels of narcissism.

He claimed that the coronavirus pandemic was God testing him to rebuild what he claimed was the "greatest economy in the history of the world."

In other words, Covid-19 was, according to Trump, God's way of testing his greatness.

Just for reference, the coronavirus was first discovered in China, and spread globally. To date, over 835,000 people around the glove have died. The United States has far and away the most confirmed cases of coronavirus, with well over six million, as well as the most deaths from it, with over 184,000 to date, by far. All of this, according to our elected president, just to test his on greatness.

Trump himself undermined the seriousness of the coronavirus initially, and then seemed to only provide mixed messages. He claimed that it would not be allowed to become a problem in America, and claimed when there were 15 confirmed cases that the number would soon go down to zero, before quickly hastening to add that this proved how great a job he and his administration were doing.

Then, of course, the numbers just kept rising and rising. I already mentioned how many confirmed cases and deaths are in the country. But the shutdown tanked the economy, and the United States soon began to show serious cracks before the entire world with it's dysfunctional and incoherent national response - or lack thereof - to the pandemic.

Trump could have acted sooner, but he waited to take the coronavirus seriously. Of course, it also did not help that he had eliminated the White House pandemic response team two years earlier, which obviously was criticized at the time, and which looked like a horrendous, even disastrous decision by now. The problem grew out of control, and he only seemed to recognize how bad things were getting when the economy tanked. That was when he finally took action, because this man only measures himself by how the stock market is doing. Indeed, the stock market had enjoyed record numbers, but it collapsed quickly. Tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs, and many of those lost their health insurance along with it. We have record numbers of people today unemployed.

Yet Trump is boasting about the economy again, despite how many record numbers of people in the country are suffering. Recently, he rhetorically asked God a question about how he is doing:

"Did I do a great job, God? I'm the only one that could do it."

Such an unbelievable MAGAlomaniac! This guy's narcissism literally knows no bounds.

And the saddest part, really, is not him. It is the tens of millions of Americans who support this and no matter how obviously ridiculous he gets. After all, Trump is just one man, and if it were just him, he could easily be ignored and/or dismissed. But people put him in a position of unbelievable power and responsibility, and he has obviously taken it to his head, trying to grab ever more power, and regularly going over the top by a mile with his favorite pastime of feeding his own apparently bottomless well of an ego.

Sad, even tragic times that this country is going through.
