Just when you thought the mainstream media might have run out of angles to try and make President Trump’s coronavirus response look bad, they outdo themselves yet again.
.
.
.

(ABC:) Eschewing the president's traditional role as "comforter in chief," Pres. Trump has yet to visit a hospital, and there have been few signs that he has interacted with people who have fallen ill.

The MSM want one of two headlines:

1. "Trump infected, taken to ER, after visiting CV patients."

2. "Nursing home CV outbreak traced to Trump visit; Schiff calls for investigation."

What debate was that? Didn’t he say something like “we the American people are your children?”

Oh, no doubt about that and I don’t doubt that the WHCA has tried to seed the WH in an attempt to infect the President. These people are absolutely insane and I pray for his safety every day.

Yep, the 1992 debate.

“The focus of my work as a domestic mediator is meeting the needs of the children that I work with, by way of their parents, and not the wants of their parents. And I ask the three of you, how can we, as symbolically the children of the future president, expect the two of you, the three of you to meet our needs?”

That would be stupid to do, must be why ABC News thought of it.

"Anybody see any rats visiting patients in hospitals during a pandemic! What a bunch of sleazy f”s"

I recall visits outside the hospital for after-recovery photo-ops.

And this is why Trump has to do everything in his power to protect himself from this virus..SO many in the commie media want him dead..yeah go visit Wu Flu patients, why, so he can get it..he has enough contact with his valet driver, Pence’s assistant..he doesn’t need to visit people in the hospital who have a VERY VERY infectious disease..but the commies wish every night before they go to bed that Trump gets the virus

The Left’s Idea of Comfort - Enable a virus to spread rapidly, hoard supplies, create ventilator shortages, prevent people from taking medication that will help them - Have a photo op in the hospital as you comfort the dyeing.

Trump’s Idea of Comfort - Be proactive in preventing the spread of the virus, crack down on companies and local governments who are hoarding supplies, ramp up production of ventilators, protective equipment and testing equipment, built makeshift hospitals, loosen FDA restrictions to allow people access to effective treatments, have daily press conferences to inform the public of the progress of pandemic and to encourage them - Practice social distancing and avoid unnecessary photo ops.

Jimmy Carter was great at comforting.

How did his presidency work out for the country?

They are just egging him on in the hope he got infected. There is no depth of depravity the lib press would not go to.

“Pres. Trump has yet to visit a hospital, and there have been few signs that he has interacted with people who have fallen ill. “

Uhmmmm...You want the President to visit a group of contagious people?

Why?

“And to think I stood by the grave of Ernie Pyle at the Punchbowl.”

If you are ever in Albuquerque, his house is now a small public library. Available books are shelved in every room.
He built a small little house after he got back from Europe and stayed there a while, before heading out to Okinawa.
It’s definitely worth a walk through if you are ever there.

Trying to goad him into catching the disease?

You visit trauma victims, not infectious people in quarantine.
