President Trump's Press Briefing Meltdown

Some TV channels have opted not to televise those portions of Donald Trump's daily press briefings, while he carries on about everything but the Corona crisis. That is a mistake. It is important for the American people to see for themselves the megalomaniac mutterings of their president. Today's briefing was especially revealing. Mr. Trump, freed of  the sycophantic presence of his vice-president, engaged in a series of rambling, deceitful, disconnected rants, bordering on incoherence, that brought to mind Humphrey Bogart's devastating portrayal of Captain Queeg, in the Caine Mutiny, declaiming about the strawberries missing from the ship's store. In the face of this nation's greatest peril, this madman demonstrated, once again, that we are leaderless.
