Trump Said He'd Give Himself An 'A' For His Handling Of COVID-19

Donald Trump told journalist Bob Woodward in July that he deserved an A for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic that had already killed over 70,000 people by that time.

The Washington Post reporter interviewed Trump 18 times for roughly nine hours total for his new book, “Rage.” Continuing a discussion about his leadership, the president told Woodward in July how he thought he’d handled COVID-19.

Trump insisted that he’d begun “executing” his plans, saying “I will have immigration done. I will have health care done. I think we’re going to have vaccines soon. I think we already have them.”

“But they’re in tests,” he added. “And you’ll see them being announced over the next month. Now would you view that as a game-changer?”

This question is kinda silly. There is not a "modest" bone in his body so he will never grade himself fairly.

A generally stands for "excellent." His score is somewhere in the very low F catagory

He loves to present himself with participation trophies.
