The pollsters are not so sure. Absolutely his core 32% will vote for him no matter what - and no matter what disaster might befall the country if he forces states to relax restrictions too quickly. The Aggregate Polls this month are consistently showing a 5-6% margin in favour of Biden...and there is significant lack of trust in what Trump says about the pandemic, and in his dealing with the pandemic. Guess that's why he wants 'back to normal' asap.

I see he has instructed his navy to “shoot down” any Iranian gunboats that harass American ships. ?

Maybe he stumbled across Studio Ghibli’s - Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and thought it was real...?

Is that from the same source as the 128 fake NHS accounts?

Be fair he's not exactly very good at quoting real facts. Just the fake ones

trump just said that apart from Germany America has delt with coronavirus better than any other country. what am I missing? genuine question as they have lost more people than other country and per million to lives lost they are 10th.
i dont usually watch the USA briefings but in my opinion America is screwed.

15th is my reading of that but as you say, certainly not 2nd.

Trump tells the world that he has put a stop on all immigration into the USA. Except his Executive Order does nothing of the sort. It imposes a degree of restriction on the issue of new Green Cards - for some applicants - and that's about it.
But of course his core support will believe that he has put in place a complete ban on immigration. And they will believe that no matter what anyone says. Trump says he has put a 60 day ban on immigration - and so to the core there is no immigration for 60 days.

But how does he brainwash these people to believe every word that comes out of his mouth no matter how stupid

Stupid is and stupid does. Applies quite nicely to his core support.

There's often an angle with stats. I've not done the sums but maybe USA currently looks favourable with deaths per confirmed cases.

Nothing much to do with Trump though...and social separation or lockdown measures are decreed by state governors.
And he seems to have reverted to February-mode. When all will be fine - as he trues to play down almost completely the chance of a second wave in the Fall. In his briefing yesterday he was seeming to try a get his experts to agree with his 'hunch' - and they refused. Trump said his CDC Director was misquoted - his CDC Director - with Trump standing beside him - said he wasn't. It was bizarre. And love Joe Scarborough going gentle mental over it...

He’s trying to take them out of lockdown so he can’t claim any responsibility for any positive numbers

It does seem highly disproportionate - But all the main urban centers have been hit hard - its that, and releasing lockdown there which will be the hardest part - and since urban centers drives the economy they have a huge balancing act to perform

I have to say...his actions in this regard are a perfect example of what he (and other politicians!) loves - a bold statement that his supporters will love, but actual effect is very small! Visa processing by State Department has apparently stopped anyway - and Consulates are closed!
Used to be called 'soundbites' but 'Trump Tweets' is now more appropriate!

Indeed he is - so for those he has tweeted LIBERATE about he claims that their governors have been too tough with their lockdown...
...and then yesterday we find poor Brian Kemp - the governor Georgia - who follows Trump's exhortations for governors to open up their states - for Kemp to find himself being criticised by Trump for doing just what Trump told him to do.
If it wasn't Trump you actually just couldn't make it up

...when Trump isn't interested in the balancing act other than how it affects his poll numbers...
...and so he tries to play down the risk of a second wave in the Fall - because by doing so he can push for relaxation of lockdown measures (as there won't be a second wave) and that relaxation will boost his numbers - especially if he can blame governors for making the decision to relax measures if things go wrong - even though he is pushing for them to be relaxed.
It is just as well that the UK won't have to bother about Trump and his deceitful and duplicitous double-dealing once we get through the worse of this. hmmm...
