President Donald Trump’s critics on the left and in the media ripped him on Sunday as a “monster” and “sociopath” and again argued that his Coronavirus briefings should not be televised because Trump only cares about his TV ratings.

Trump enthusiastically tweeted on Sunday afternoon about his TV ratings, but, after thanking the questioner for the “nice question” the president downplayed them when asked about his tweet at the Coronavirus Rose Garden briefing/

“I don’t want high approval ratings for of this. I wish we could have our old life back. We had the greatest economy that we’ve ever had. We didn’t have death. We didn’t have this. We didn’t have this horrible scourge. This plague. You call it whatever you want—the virus,” Trump said. “We’re working very hard. I see things. I see numbers. They don’t matter to me. What matters to me is that we have a victory over this thing as soon as possible.”
