Covfefe Duty

You are President Donald Trump. Coronavirus infections are rising and markets are falling. You look weak and you're starting to doubt yourself, but there's no time for that, you're on the news! You have to give a speech before the stock markets close in order boost confidence in yourself and the markets, and, sure, maybe bring down the projected rate of infection.

In Impress Conference you  deliver a Covid-19 update speech: sentence by sentence, phrase by phrase. In order to utter a phrase you click it as it scrolls across the bottom of the screen, then perform the physical equivalent of Donald Trump's mental process and mash the keys on your keyboard.  You've gotta keep talking: President Trump's ego, as represented by the size of his hands, and the Dow Jones decline with every second, so you must keep them up. (He doesn't care about the rate of infection.)

With any given color-coded phrase you can praise yourself, attack your enemies, promote businesses, or implement and support public health measures. Your choice of words affects Trump's ego , the stock market, and the projected rate of infection for the virus. You will need to keep all of these in check (or the first two anyway) if you're to make it to the closing of the markets.

With four possible endings and an endless number of speech combinations, Impress Conference makes President Trump's public appearances even less necessary
