Trump is playing a familiar game: creating an alternative reality to serve his political needs, writes StCollinson. 'From impeachment to the Russia probe, he's gotten away with it before, escaping scrapes unscathed and confounding his enemies.' | Analysis

Donald Trump is doing bang-up work fighting the coronavirus -- just ask him."We've done a fantastic job," he said on Saturday, before confirmed US cases of the virus soared to more than 550. A botched response or a related economic slump could damage his reelection hopes, so the US President appears to be intensely focused on downplaying the problem and publicly congratulating himself. Over the last few weeks, he's forecast infections on US soil will drop to zero, hoped for a"miracle" to drive the virus away, and predicted warm weather will kill it off.
