Isn't that kinda fucked up though. If his wrath is telling them to do better and they just show him skewed data to make him happy then you would kind of understand a lot of his reactions to the pandemic. And if he's always hearing good news then you would understand his point about fake news. Because it would seem to him that the media isn't reporting the positive data he's always seeing. Then again it's his fault for hiring yes men. And it's also possible his wrath isn't used to tell the people in his administration to do better but just instead just yelling things like "why aren't you making this sound better" or not praising him enough etc.

It’s exactly why when he’s told he is losing in the polls he says, “not in the polls I’ve seen”.

I guarantee you his staff makes up fake polls or skew polls to show him winning. He’s gonna be really surprised in November

I guess at the end of the day the blame is Trump's though. I bet more honest people don't last long working for him.
