Of the 2.7 million cases of coronavirus in the world, close to 900,000 are coming out of the United States.
They’ve lost more than 49,000 people, more than any country in the world, with New York alone recording hundreds of deaths a day.
And yet President Donald Trump has applauded steps taken by a handful of Republican-led US states, including Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, to start reopening their economies despite a potential fresh surge of coronavirus infections.
“Our country is starting to OPEN FOR BUSINESS again,” the 73-year-old wrote on Twitter this week.
WATCH:Trump using a coronavirus press conference to talk about himself.
Trump’s America is in chaos right now, with the President constantly confusing his nation with factually incorrect, emotionally reactive and sometimes just plain scary declarations as the country battles a health and economic calamity.
But by far the most concerning Trump-ism right now are his messages of support to those states who want to start reopening – which would involve breaking laws that his government have put in place to protect the country from the virus.

They're arrogant but hide behind their "down-home & folksy" personas.
Mostly - they're self-entitled and see in Trump a leader who is disagreeing even with his own government experts on their behalf.
"What a guy".
An ignorant, poorly educated, rich guy who mostly gained public acceptance via his regular appearances as "star" of "The Apprentice" where his character was written for him.
This "character" is what most of these supporters voted into the White House.
Trump is the original "Fake News" and he uses it regularly as an insult when he doesn't have enough adult vocabulary to articulate his point.
His favorite description of well-educated and highly informed women capable of treating him with assertiveness is "nasty".
Am I being too harsh ?.............Nah.
Especially in the light of his recent childish suggestions of injecting Covid-19 victims with disinfectant.
He doesn't know what he doesn't know.
Not really sure what their political leaning has to do with it anyway.
USA has a long tradition of protecting their freedoms.
