The escalating global pandemic has challenged Trump's playbook of cherry-picking numbers.

Sometimes it's a simple brag — boasting about the highest State of the Union TV ratings in history, trumpeting that he appointed more judges than George Washington, inflating the number of electoral college votes he won in 2016.

“He's a man that hears what he wants to hears … and he puts it through the lens of a marketer. He is a marketer,” said Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. “His image is, ‘I’m on top of this, I’m tough,’ and anything he hears that supports that theory of the case, he grabs and utilizes.”

Before running for office in 2016, Trump had spent his five decades in the real estate, marketing and reality TV businesses. He sold himself to voters on that background, touting his ability to strike deals with countries and companies alike. “When you’re in the real investment business, the performance is only based on numbers and that’s all that matters,” said a Republican who speaks to Trump. “He spent a lifetime on it. He’s not going to think differently now. That’s how you judge real estate. That’s all they have. It’s all about the money.

“You know, I have a person. He's a statistician. He's so excited by his job. He loves it,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Albuquerque, N.M., in May.There was even a rally where he held up charts to illustrate what he said were the failures of President Barack Obama and his secretary of State, Hillary Clinton — Trump’s rival. There were charts on homeownership rates, the national debt, Syrian refugees entering the U.S.

There’s a fine line between informing people and invoking panic. Unfortunately, the media’s tendency to put a negative panic-inducing spin on every piece of data to play gothcha on Trump has done way more damage than anything the President or his very open task force have said.

The concern over what our GOVERNMENT will do next is driving most people to panic shop and panic go to parks and breaches (I better do it while I can attitude)

SethAbramson The media keeps spreading the Trump virus. They can’t control themselves.
