It has been a bad 24 hours or so and Trump is losing it. He has now killed over 56,000 people and there are almost 1,000,000 cases of Trump Virus. There are no flattening curves anywhere to be seen in America, Biden's lead nationally is at its highest (+6.3%) in 18 days and only one poll, that has Biden +10% was conducted and then only in part after the psychotic April 23 Light-&-Lysol event.
Biden continues to lead in "battleground" states Wisconsin (+2.7%); he's opened a 3.2% lead in Florida after trailing in the state; in Michigan by +2.7%, in Pennsylvania a hefty +6.7%; Trump leads in North Carolina by an extremely perilous 1.3%, and Biden is +4.4% in Arizona. Too early for polls but polls there are and in fairness I'm not including Minnesota. Every "battleground" except Pennsylvania is close enough that any and all could go either way but there is probably a lesson that Biden has led in all of these states excepting Florida and North Carolina consistently for some time. As a consequence of this cascade of bad news Trump is acting more erratically than ever, viz.
-There was a coronavirus briefing scheduled today; then it was taken off the schedule; then it was put back on again.
-Starting at about 7 p.m. Sunday Trump started a tweeting flurry that was heavy on conspiratorial theories, including one that the official death totals were fake and had been manipulated to hurt him.
-He also retweeted that Russia actually helped Hillary Clinton.
-He went on to challenge reporters to return their "Noble" prizes for Russia reporting. It's Nobel, not Noble, and Nobel Prizes are not awarded for journalism. Pulitzer Prizes are in the U.S. He then deleted the "Noble" tweets but, and in another instance that he is not in touch with reality, tweeted that he had correctly typed "Noble": in sarcasm; which was also one explanation he gave for his floridly out of touch Light-&Lysol recommendations to scientists to "test.".
Mr Trump is not a well man and he is decompensating.
