Obama wears a tan suit, end of the world....McConnell wears whatever the fuck that is, think FOX will say anything? lol noGuess the turtle was trying to blend in with the piss colored curtains with that suit?
Shitty as he may be at it, he is still wired to think like a businessman, so everything is about some sort of profit.His fixation with ratings is the most hilarious thing, especially considering how low his "ratings" in the polls are
if anything he has gotten worse since the first ones. Esepcially after his rally going over like a wet fartI for one can't wait. His polling drop was initially due in no small part to his behavior during these airings and this time will do him no favors either. Given his narcissism I'm sure he thinks this will be a good substitute for him not being able to hold rallies but we all know it won't be. He'll be laughed at and his numbers will fall even more precipitously
CNN reporting that no task force members will be joining Trump at today's press event. If you put money on these being campaign pressers, you might be right.
"
No task force members are currently expected to join President Trump at today's 5 p.m. ET news conference, a person familiar with the plan tells CNN, who cautioned that could change. Trump is expected to hold these briefings a few times a week but not on a daily basis like he was earlier in the pandemic.
There's still an internal split over whether Trump should take the stage, with some aides reminding others how hard they fought to convince Trump to end the briefings after the disastrous one in April about disinfectants.
It caused some confusion inside the West Wing over whether the press secretary should hold a separate briefing as well given the President's will obviously overshadow hers.
CNN's Sanjay Gupta reported earlier that as of early Tuesday morning, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that he and Dr. Deborah Birx have still not been told whether they will be in attendance at today's briefing at the White House."
Okay, so it'll definitely be 1/3 Covid and 2/3 campaign rally.
3/3 All BS. They shouldn't carry it live but air it later with fact checks.
No, people need to see this. If it looks bad on air then it's just as bad in the White House. The actual journalists will fact check and the other ones would never have declined to air it on moral grounds anyway.He doesn't need his platform. They shouldn't air it. It only does harm to the country no matter how "funny" it is.
Not sure on what I would prefer the networks to do. Either not cover these at all the second it becomes apparent they're basically campaign rallies with no relevance to the pandemic, or leave him on air ranting. As has already been pointed out, his performance during season 1 of these briefings played a role in his cratering poll numbers.
3/3 All BS. They shouldn't carry it live but air it later with fact checks.
Gotta say I disagree because it's been 4 years of this shit and declining him airtime will only bring out even more of his bullshit that can be reported on. He wants free campaign ads at dinner time and he shouldn't be offered it. As others said give him his cameras and then air it later with fact checks.No, people need to see this.

And 1/3 incoherent ramblingOkay, so it'll definitely be 1/3 Covid and 2/3 campaign rally.
Right, if you only intended to say that outlets shouldn't air it live then I agree. But I don't agree with the idea that they shouldn't air it at all.Gotta say I disagree because it's been 4 years of this shit and declining him airtime will only bring out even more of his bullshit that can be reported on.

Trump's rant will probably follow his typical tangential thinking:
1. COVID testing best in world--we wouldn't have nearly the number of cases if we didn't test
2. Economy is best it's ever been in the history of the world3. Russia hoax4. I am so smart5. Radical left6. Statues
Ratings are all the matters, just ignore the record number of cases.

Dr. Fauci tells me he hasn't heard anything about attending President Trump's 5pm COVID briefing.
