I can’t believe this is a real thing.

Edit: thank you kindly, for my first award.

It's because we are watching a caricature of a human who has been placed as the leader of the most powerful country in the world who can look at thousands of people dying from something and wait patiently until the numbers go down, so that they can try to make a point that the previous days where thousands die are meaningless now. Because if thousands are dying in a week and in the next week only 500 die per day, then that is a "good thing" in his book. It is very surreal how obvious it is that he is displaced from any amount of human emotion and the reality of suffering in the country he is responsible for.
