1. Yesterday, @GeraldoRivera tweeted an asinine statement about Trump's great "leadership" in this health crisis, and comparing him to General Patton.

Let's see what happened today with Patton:...

a. More refrigerated trucks arrived in New York to handle the expected overflow of bodies once the mortuaries are filled.

b. "General" Trump tweeted about his press conference TV ratings bragging that it was bigger than the finale of the Bachelor/2

c. Illinois governor announced that, two months into crisis, his state never received the "millions" of test kits Trump promised. State will now arrange to get its own rather than wait for the feds, an unprecedented act.

d. "General" Trump tweeted about Prince Harry & Meghan/3

e. Another record set in number of daily reported new cases of infections

f. "General" Trump tweeted out multiple pictures of himself in front of ship to help in New York, which was delayed in departure so Trump could get those images of himself tweeted and published/4

So, @GeraldoRivera -kiss ass if you want. You flushed your reputation away long ago. But dont expect us to watch a man acting like a teenager, tweeting garbage & the equivalent of selfies while world burns & expect us to react with anything but disgust at you calling him "Patton"
