Oh good, here comes Donald Trump’s Rose Garden press conference from hell
After more than a week of refusing to speak in public and dodging reporters, Palmer Report and others have declared that he’s officially in hiding. It looks like maybe Trump has finally picked up on the rumblings, because now he’s suddenly announced that he’s holding a press conference at 4pm today in the White House Rose Garden.
Trump will apparently be speaking about “Operation Warp Speed,” his imaginary plan to solve the coronavirus crisis. This will be interesting for a few reasons. First, it’ll be the first time in which Trump has even bothered pretending to be the president since he lost the election. It appears his babysitters have finally convinced him to go out and do something presidential, in the hope of selling the notion that he still wants the job.
More importantly, it’s nearly a given that Trump will go off script today and begin ranting and raving about how the election was somehow stolen from him. In fact, unless they’ve got him heavily sedated, this should end up being Trump’s most unhinged and clinically insane meltdown yet. We’re not looking forward to watching, but we will, and we’ll keep you informed.
