Just how disastrous are Donald Trump’s daily coronavirus press briefings? CNN sometimes refuses to begin airing them until after Trump has stopped babbling and the medical experts have begun speaking. MSNBC often cuts away from Trump in order to fact check the false claims he’s making. And Trump’s continued bad poll numbers make clear that he’s not winning any new supporters with these briefings.
