Trump spreads conspiracy theories as US coronavirus death toll rises

As has its been obvious for the last 3 years Donald Trump is incapable in dealing with adversity.  When these situations arise he returns to the its someone else's fault, I never met the person who's been accused of acting illegally on his behalf, acts the media calling them fake news, states that the Democrats are involved in whatever conspiracy theory happens to be popular among his sycophantic supporters and those are just some the diversions he uses to absolve himself of any blame. 

Today with the coronavirus outbreak being a full blown epidemic he has once again taken to twitter to castigate others for his utter incompetence. 

President continues to downplay threat, focus on own re-election odds

The Obama/Biden Administration is the most corrupt Administration in the history of our Country!

“Trump has outmastered the Deep State. He’s light years ahead of us.” MSDNC. I disagree. We have a long way to go. There are still some very bad, sick people in our government - people who do not love our Country (In fact, they hate our Country!).

As Dr Anthony Fauci, the leading expert on infections, was on CNN urging elderly people to avoid cruise ships and possibly air travel, the president seemed mostly focused on his own re-election prospects. He tried sowing more bad blood within the Democratic ranks rather than offer any advice about the coronavirus or calm any nervous citizens or companies - or US stock markets.

"Now the Democrats are trying to smear Bernie with Russia, Russia, Russia. They are driving him Crazy!", Mr Trump tweeted, even though he himself suggested Mr Sanders was a Soviet- sympathising 'communist' and reported he went on his honeymoon decades ago in Moscow.
