Trump enjoys the vitriol. He feeds off it like Redjac from the original Star Trek episode Wolf in the Fold.

Why in hell would he want to do that?
Patience, Dear Readers, I’ll get to that.
I have come to the conclusion Trump wants to make this worse: any way, anyhow, by any means. Taking preordered and prepaid PPE from states: especially blue

states, and handing it over to red states? Barr out to sue states that keep their stay at home orders? All the ‘advice’ that if taken (or right: you pick) could kill people? Only limiting his briefings when it was obvious the more rational Cuomo briefings were working and people were tuning him out. (He asked what the point was. Yeah, I know, snake oil salesmen can’t sell snake oil.) Wanting states to open back up: encouraging making it worse and a bigger second, third, etc waves? (Just in time to effect November?) Some of his favorite pundits, MAGA people, wanting to sacrifice the elderly, the vulnerable? Praising Kemp then only pulling back on that when he gets severe blowback? Blaming everyone else, including lying about how we were left in the lurch when it was his administration that fired those whose jobs were to deal with a possible pandemic?
I COULD go on, but I think you get the point.
One consistent factor about anything Trump is feeding Trump coffers. OK, in this case a second thing: whatever gives him power and influence. They are tied together by being able to keep up the scams, the conjobs. Anything to serve those causes. But he can only be allowed to do that now by limiting voting or stopping it by any means; which fit well with what Republicans have been doing since long before Trump. Expand his base? HA! Trump; purveyor of hate, had to know that would be a losing tactic from the start.
