Does anybody know, and does the Fake News Media report, that daily cases of the China Virus, sometimes inaccurately referred to as Covid, are “five times greater” than it was last year. Wow, if this were on my watch it would be the biggest story of all time! The Trump Administration did a great job, receiving very little credit. The Biden Administration did a poor job, receiving very good Fake News credit. As the saying goes, “nothing in life is fair!”

Gaslighting Detected:

Inverting accuracy: calls the medical term 'COVID' inaccurate while presenting politicized 'China Virus' as correct
Rewriting COVID history: 'great job' ignores over 400,000 US deaths during his term

Reality Distortions:

COVID-19 labeled as inaccurate name for the disease
Unqualified claim of 'great job' on pandemic response despite historically high death toll
Decontextualized case comparison ignoring testing methodology changes

Fact Checks (2)

"Daily COVID cases are five times greater than last year"

Half True

Reported daily cases in late May 2022 were higher than May 2021 due to Omicron subvariants, but the comparison is misleading — testing availability, reporting practices, and at-home test usage changed dramatically, making raw case comparisons unreliable.

"COVID is 'sometimes inaccurately referred to as Covid'"

False

COVID-19 is the WHO-designated name for the disease. 'China Virus' is a politicized label, not the accurate medical term.

Psychological Analysis: COVID Comparison Post (May 30, 2022)

This post is a classic example of Trump's comparative grievance framework — juxtaposing his administration's COVID performance against Biden's while attacking media coverage as biased.

Timing & Authorship: Memorial Day 2022, posted at 6:18 PM EDT (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster). Business-hours timing but stylistically authentic — rhetorical questions, stream-of-consciousness flow, characteristic grievance structure, quotation marks around "five times greater" and "nothing in life is fair."

Psychological Dynamics: The post is driven by supply-seeking and narcissistic injury remediation. The core schema: "I did well but got no credit; he did poorly but got praised." This perceived unfairness is a deep narcissistic wound — not receiving adequate admiration despite believed superior performance. The closing aphorism ("nothing in life is fair") is notable as a rare moment of fatalistic resignation, though it functions rhetorically to underscore victimhood rather than genuine acceptance.

Defense Mechanisms: Splitting (Trump=great/Biden=poor, clean binary), projection of media bias, and rationalization of his COVID record. The "China Virus" label serves as displacement — redirecting blame for the pandemic onto China.

Rhetorical Techniques: Opens with rhetorical question to create audience engagement, uses quoted statistics for credibility signaling (though source unspecified), employs the familiar media-bias frame, and closes with folk wisdom to universalize his grievance.

COVID Claim: The "five times greater" claim likely references Omicron BA.2/BA.4/BA.5 subvariant waves. Daily cases in late May 2022 were elevated but comparisons depend heavily on testing availability changes — the claim is misleadingly decontextualized.

Cognitive Notes: Syntax is coherent, no word-finding issues. "Sometimes inaccurately referred to as Covid" is an odd construction — COVID is the accurate medical term, while "China Virus" is the politicized label, suggesting deliberate reality inversion.
