WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says his press briefings are “not worth the time & effort” as his administration prepares to adjust his public presence amid the coronavirus pandemic toward addressing the nation’s economic woes.

Tweeting on Saturday, one of the few days in which he has not held a daily briefing since the start of the outbreak, Trump says: “What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately.”
The president’s tweet comes two days after he used a briefing to muse about the injection of chemical disinfectants, drawing warnings from manufacturers and the nation’s top medical professionals. The White House claimed Friday that Trump was misinterpreted, though the president later asserted he was speaking “sarcastically.”
His tweet questioning the value of press briefings also comes as White House aides are developing plans to shift the president’s public emphasis from the virus to addressing the economic crisis it has caused and the government’s plans for reopening the economy.
HE’S AFRAID OF THE QUESTIONS! The PRESS ISN’T AFRAID OF HIM! HE IS CRACKING UP IN FRONT OF OUR EYES! The Plague is pushing the Orange Pharoh into the Sea! EMES
Trump reacted with hostility to legitimate questions and hurled insults at the reporters who asked them. Those responses as well as his thoughts on the feasibility of using disinfectants or light to cure the virus have shown the American people what kind of leader he is. The ending of the daily press conferences is an attempt to salvage his chance of re election.
To call him a moron or imbecile is an insult to all morons and imbeciles.
Trump’s worst enemy is that mouth of his; he was warned for weeks by his trusted advisors to cut back on the daily Corona press briefings, as his ratings were going down in key states, and the public did not like his publicly disagreeing with his medical advisors. He refused to listen to them, until he put his foot in his mouth, with his brilliant advice of injecting Lysol. Even Trump’s key allies on Fox News such as Doocy and Varney were shocked, and publicly disagreed with him.
The fool stuck his foot in his mouth too many times and his lackeys are removing his bully pulpit
Anyone who isn’t a moron or imbecile can see the media is extremely bias. MAGA!
