On March 29, Trump tweeted multiple times to brag about his press conferences’ ratings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
On that day, the United States reported a total of over 161,000 confirmed cases and 3,000 deaths, more than 9/11.
He later again boasted of his television ratings on April 21, when the US had 824,229 confirmed cases and suffered 45,536 deaths.
Trump is no stranger to making such remarks during times of national crisis. He also previously blamed media and Democrats for working to “inflame” the situation surrounding COVID-19, but rated himself a 10/10 in handling it.
He has also bragged about how humble he is.
