President Donald Trump has spent most of Sunday morning tweeting and retweeting various conspiracy theories, praise of the job he’s doing, and other assorted BS, but a plug for a golf course he owns in California drew a tremendous amount of ire from social media due to the fact that the U.S death toll from the novel coronavirus has just gone past 80,000.
Here’s the ill-timed tweet from Trump:
So great to see our Country starting to open up again! https://t.co/ceXFk4iWBX

It didn’t take long before the president was called out for such a tone-deaf, self-serving posting:
You act like a bystander. Have not led though this pandemic or encouraged any type of comfort. You mismanaged this crisis from beginning and now are taking a hands-off approach while supply lines are stretched and governors look for guidance. Your administration is a total farce

Again, Trump is pimping his private businesses in his capacity as POTUS, a clear Emolument Clause violation, if not just a simple example of his rank corruption.
