From your post (a hilarious one)

The latest poll found 3 in 10 voters blame Trump, three times the share who did so at the beginning of March. For comparison, a third of voters blame the domestic spread on the Chinese government, which oversaw the initial response in the country where the virus is believed to have originated.


So 70% don't.

Derp.

Trump thrives on attention. In this case, that attention is hurting him. That little rally-around-the-leader bump of 5 points.....is long gone.
When Trump speaks, Americans no longer want to listen.

Trump berates reporters during coronavirus briefing: 'You will never make it'

now he turned on Fox..........

his appointee , Christi Grimm,wrote the report !

WASHINGTON — Trump used Monday’s briefing of the coronavirus task force to lash out at several members of the press, despite having recently praised media coverage of his response to the crisis as “very fair.”

After kicking off the briefing by praising his own administration for its response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Trump opened the briefing up to questions, during which he refused to acknowledge any criticism of his handling of the pandemic that has brought the United States to a virtual standstill.

One point of contention was a report released today by the inspector general of the federal Department of Health and Human Services. That report said that “severe shortages of testing supplies and extended waits for test results limited hospitals' ability to monitor the health of patients and staff.” Trump has repeatedly insisted that the United States has the best coronavirus testing regime in the world, but evidence contradicts that assertion.

Trump suggested that the inspector general in question, Christi Grimm, was an Obama administration holdover motivated to portray his efforts in unflattering light. She has actually been with the department since 1999.

When Fox News reporter Kristin Fisher brought up the HHS report, Trump sighed, then answered that it was not the federal government’s job to “stand on street corners doing testing.” He then suggested that Fisher should have taken a different approach. “You should have said ‘Congratulations, great job,’” the president told her, “instead of being so horrid in the way you ask a question.”

Trump has repeatedly defended his optimism while presiding over task force briefings. “I want to give people hope. I'm a cheerleader for the country,” he said last week. But that optimism can make him hostile to even the slightest criticism or tough questions posed to him by journalists.

Jonathan Karl of ABC News incurred the brunt of Trump’s wrath for asking about Grimm’s report. “You’re a third-rate reporter,” he told Karl. “And what you just said was a disgrace,” the president added, seeming to suggest that Karl had concealed Grimm’s work during President Obama’s time in office.

Every time Trump goes off like a hateful, mentally disturbed ignoramus, more Republicans and Independents decide they've had their fill of him.
