Trump plans to cut daily coronavirus briefings
Axios ^ | 4/24/20 32 minutes ago | Jonathan Swan

President Trump plans to pare back his coronavirus press conferences, according to four sources familiar with the internal deliberations.

Why this matters: Trump's daily press conferences — televised to a largely homebound population — have dominated the public discourse about the coronavirus.

Behind the scenes: A number of Trump's most trusted advisers — both inside and outside the White House — have urged him to stop doing marathon televised briefings.

But Trump has defended the practice, telling critics that the briefings get good ratings.

Agree completely. I was actually saying it to my wife a few weeks back. I was (paraphrasing) saying “WTF is it with these long press conferences? The longer he goes on and on, the more of a chance there is of him having a slip up”.

I saw that video the other day. I sure hope it’s true. Very interesting that they were reading the counts Brennan, conspiracy to commit treason among other counts.

“...but I have been of the mind that he risks overexposure. He needs to make it a little more of an event when he shows up in person. He does not need the daily squabbles with the press. He’s made his point pretty well vis-a-vis the media.”

Strongly agree. This has gone on too frickin’ long. The media is trying to wear him down and cause him to make mistakes. Trump is not a demigod. He gets tired and off track at times.

“...the thing I love about him the most is he is a fighter, however it still doesnt look good for him to go out day after day and get caught in there pettiness, its not a good look, so I hope he does cut back...”

Agreed!

BULL SH**

THE POLLS ARE RIGGED JUST LIKE THE DEMOCRATS DID IN 2016

Nothing but democrats and liberals being polled and if they are polling ANY republicans or independents they are handing out Soros or Bloomy money...
and Yes...there are republicans that can be paid off...we have many in the Congress...

Time for DJT to take off the gloves and begin campaigning and fighting for the OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.
TIME TO GET AS NASTY AND MEAN AS THE LIBERAL JACKASS'S ARE...

I'M TIRED OF THE FAIRYTALES AND NONSENSE .

No more talk about the lockdown, talk about the reopening.

I think he should still hold abbreviated daily briefings, but then do exactly as he did today: turn his back on those snarling, foaming-at-the-mouth jackals and walk off the stage.
