I usually apply Hanlon’s Razor - “Do not assume malice, when stupidity will do”
But it’s quite possible to be both stupid and malicious.

I'm sure he studied the graphs carefully
and in a eureka moment spotted a correlation between new covid cases and testing

The Whitehouse said he was obviously joking
Which is a convenient get-out when he oversteps the mark.

He's a comic genius
New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim suggested Mr Trump's comments might explain a response he said he received to a request for a coronavirus test site.
"When I requested FEMA [the US Federal Emergency Management Agency] to stand up a coronavirus test site in South Jersey they told me the White House said no. Now we know why," Mr Kim wrote on Twitter

CNN regularly do things such as...
"12 false claims Trump has made about Obama since last month".
It is utterly incredible that he has so much support. He is a pathological liar, and that is just the tip of his mental health issues.

If this was anyone else, we'd be having a discussion about whether it's an appropriate thing for a head of government to be joking about in a speech.

could I suggest dumb and cunning?
Dumb for doing it.
Cunning for thinking that if the figures say things are better then he's willing to bet people's lives that enough voters believe it and get him re-elected.

Horribly likely I'm afraid.
His niece's book should be interesting.

Amusingly the empty seats were

Good on 'em
"whether you like Donald Trump or not, people have got a right to go and see him"
Nope.
Like, you do not have a right to see a rally about hanging black people.
Americans have really weird ideas about "free speech".
If Trump wasn't rich, he'd be arrested for racism.

“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that." - Donald Trump.[1]

It's like a caller on the Jeremy Vine show was chosen at random to become president

Of course it's a double edged sword!
Protecting people from covid19 means more people alive, and thus 'pensions timebomb'
No testing leads to reopening after lockdown, and hence massive death rate of the elderly, blacks and the expensively ill. (Don't worry, the elderly republicans will be saved by JESUS!)
