On Sunday, Donald Trump said during a Fox News town hall where he threw himself a massive pity party: “Nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.” Sure, getting assassinated by being shot in the head is far worse than having reporters ask the president questions.

And of course, Trump said the show has “bad ratings.”

One part of Trump’s tweet is correct; The Morning Joe hosts gave the Republican nominee a metric fuckton of airtime that partly helped him win the presidential race while the former reality show star hammered Hillary Clinton over emails.
And now, nearly sixty-eight thousand Americans are dead from the potentially deadly coronavirus that Trump failed to act upon when he first learned of the threat in November. Thirty million Americans are suddenly out of work while sheltering at home to flatten the coronavirus curve. But her emails…
