This was Donald Trump’s most disastrous press conference yet
No matter how bad things get with Donald Trump, you can always be comforted by the fact that things will likely get even worse. Each time Trump holds a coronavirus press conference, it’s an even bigger disaster than the last one. Today’s debacle should be the absolute last straw.
Just how bad was it? At one point things went so far off the rails, MSNBC cut away from the debacle, and refused to cut back to it until reporters began asking their questions. Dr. Fauci was nowhere to be found. Attorney General Bill Barr announced that the DOJ will be cracking down on hoarding of medical supplies – which we actually agree with – but no one trusts Barr at this point anyway.
By the time Donald Trump began begging Dr. Birx to tell him when the diminishing number of reporters in the room would finally increase again, and he just wouldn’t let it go when she tried to be cautious in her answer, both MSNBC and CNN cut away from the disaster for good.
This comes amid the news that one man has now died as a direct result of self-medicating with the specific drug that Donald Trump has spent the week falsely claiming is FDA approved (and harmless) in the treatment of coronavirus. Trump isn’t just getting people killed with his inaction and negligence; he’s now telling specific lies that are causing Americans to go out and mistakenly kill themselves. These Trump press conferences must end.
