This Article Totally Defines Trump. He wants to open the football season as soon as possible

He does not care if opening too soon, causes deaths. All Trump cares about is getting things "back to normal"in time for his reelection. Donald Trump cares only about himself, and his "reelection" and no one else. This proves it as much as anything.

below are the first 3 paragraphs of this article:

Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN

(CNN) — More pillars are fast crumbling in President Donald Trump's frantic and lie-strewn attempt to convince Americans the nation is back to normal before the election, with chaos already afflicting the return to school and a rite of fall -- college football -- on the brink.

Trump's false insistence that children are "immune" from the coronavirus and can't spread it is being undermined by new figures showing that nearly 100,000 kids tested positive for the virus in the last two weeks of July. And some of the first schools that are following his calls to fully reopen are being hit by new viral outbreaks almost as soon as classes begin.

The President, in demanding a return to class and for college football to kick off, is making education and collegiate sports the latest area of American life to be contaminated by his false narratives about the pandemic. Almost all of his assurances about the crisis -- which have tended to minimize its impact and ignore science -- have proven to be wrong

Mary L. Trump made that perfectly clear in her breakthrough interview with Rachel Maddow few weeks ago.

The kneeling during the National Anthem to bring focus to police brutality towards African Americans...Trump made that about HIM. HE was offended.

all about him, but that he really doesn't give a damn about anyone else, not even his own family, evidenced by the way he treated them when they were ill and dying.

Just the complete callousness and even disdain he had for them because they weren't healthy. Like he just couldn't be bothered with them and that they annoyed him.

He just didn't have the slightest shred of sympathy or compassion for them. They were useless to him in that state so they just weren't worth spending any time or attention on.

There is no hope for him ever being ok. It must be a nightmare living in his head.
