In the face of a threat like coronavirus, we count on public officials for neutral, unpoliticized information. But Trump has corrupted everything with his use of government to validate lies and his nonstop war on neutrality. That's combustible. New piece:

Let's try to appreciate how deeply insane this is.

There is a big public health threat looming. But Trump is raging over the *market reaction* to it. And he's persuaded himself that warnings about this public threat from *his own officials* are to blame:

Even worse, Trump is claiming the media is *deliberately* hyping coronavirus to panic the markets.

The problem here isn't just Trump's paranoia. It's that he's trying to eradicate neutrality itself. And he's corrupting everything in sight to do so:

In a grave situation like this, what's so troubling is that for Trump, everything is subject to corruption in one direction or another. The only question is whether it's *for* Trump or *against* Trump.

Everyone is corrupt. All that matters is who wins.
