Trump tops Bolsonaro for covid 19 mendacity prize

The two worst right wing populist presidents have been duking it out for the championship of worst response to pandemic. Trump's USA continues its commanding lead with 2,297,000 infections, 121, 407 of which have expired. Bolsonaro's Brazil is trying its best but trails badly with 1,039,000 infections, 49,090 of which are pushing up daisies. The others 192 countries have dropped off the leaderboard.

Percentage wise Trump is world champ, with 26.1% of infections and 26.2% of deaths with but 4.2% of the world's souls. Brazil, just 2.7% of world population, trails with 11.6% and 10.6% of infections and deaths respectively.

Despite his commanding lead, Trump is pulling out all stops today, cramming 19,000 believers into a confined Tulsa space with masks optional. But hint, hint, Trump's cruelest and most deadly meme is that for his supporters, wearing masks is a sign of disrespect to their Leader.

Next stop after the rally? The ICU.
