The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is 100% wrong about President Trump and his wartime press briefings.
Yes, we are at war with an invisible enemy that is trying to destroy our economy, our culture, our social norms, our small businesses, our families, our places of worship, our schools, while blindly and painfully killing thousands of men and women across the country irrespective of color, creed, orientation, and socio-economic background. Even more vicious is how this virus originating in China came to the U.S. attacking our most vulnerable, our seniors and those with underlying health issues and compromised immune systems-disproportionately ravishing Black communities.
So yes, this is a war, this is a crisis, and we need answers and leadership. The president and his task force are doing their best to offer them daily.
It is ironic that as soon as President Trump's approval ratings increase across the board, even with Democrats, regarding his handling of the pandemic, there was a light switch moment in the mainstream media: STOP DONALD TRUMP.
They quickly realized that President Trump was still an effective communicator, speaking the common man's English, striking a tone they did not expect from him; hope in a time of worry, comfort in a time of chaos and clarity in a time of confusion.
So, it was time for them to ratchet up the attacks. First, it was time to roll out the old race card because he rightfully closed off travel from China in January. Then, because he again said the virus came from Wuhan and accurately described, just like many in the media did (without being called racist), its origins, he was somehow targeting Americans of Asian descent. To combat the fake news, he denounced all bigotry towards them, as he always does when it comes to issues of race in America.
Then, when the president expressed optimism and hope at one of his press briefings, elite media decried his efforts. No, they could not risk the American people seeing President Trump as inspirational or a Comforter-in-Chief.
Now they say the press briefings are too long, and he should not be giving the briefings every day, like almost every other Governor and big-city mayor in America is doing.
Some elite TV and Radio Networks with broad national reach have begun to cut away, or flat out refuse to air the press conferences because of claims of misinformation. I think it is safe to say that, when you are dealing with a virus, in the middle of the flu season, on top of a global economic shutdown, while still engaged in overseas conflicts; data, models and statistics will change. However, the president and his task force’s efforts to bring the latest and most accurate information to the American citizens remains their top priority and so it should be for America’s TV networks as well.
Be very clear: this is not about President Trump giving false hope, or misinformation or talking too much. The media elites know this is an election year. Millions of Americans who would otherwise be busy working are now stuck at home with the TV on. They are afraid and want answers, facts and comfort. Guess where they are getting it? Every day at 5:00pm from President Trump.
The media is afraid that the Black community, working moms, blue-collar workers, small business owners, millennials and seniors are all tuning in and taking a first or second look at Donald Trump.
The media is afraid that Americans will see a resolute, focused leader who is rising to the occasion, fighting for them with action, results and a team of experts. They are afraid they will see the Trump Administration working for Americans, and the private sector leaders standing with him and responding to his call.
Americans will continue to hear Democrats thank President Trump for getting the information on life-saving medicines, and governors following his lead to slow the spread locally. Americans see a man in Donald Trump who is made for this moment and that could mean a disaster for the DNC and Joe Biden in November, and what’s more, it will uproot the narrative that the elite media has worked so hard to cultivate over the last four years.
Mr. President, White House, administration: keep the briefings, keep the engagement on social media and keep talking directly to black-owned and other minority outlets. Continue to fight for us seven days a week and ignore the elite media. We are watching and we are grateful for the work you are doing on our behalf.
Look how angry the DNC-VaccineIMPOSER is with
the ELECTED PRESIDENT.
It is time to fire and indict Fauci for
destroying the USA using his Wuhan-Wuxi-Soros-virus to drive
their "vaccine-for-all" dreams.
Sadly for Hillary loving Fauci the evidence is piling up re the efficacy of the Hydrochloroquine + additives as well the declining Hospital admission numbers and he will soon be put on the spot and admit despite his obvious agenda of total control that it is time to let the American people get back to work.
My personal take on this guy is he has a strong Napoleonic complex driven by his being severely vertically challenged. I’ve met a few short people like this guy and they mostly seem to share this trait.
I think I’ve watched maybe three minutes of these spectacles. It bores the crap out of me. From the beginning of this hysterical period of our country I was more concerned about the hype and these little dicktaters taking advantage of the panic. And shazam! Here we are. I’m just hunkered in the bunkered and waiting for someone or group with the intestinal fortitude to rise up against this incredible decay of liberties I’ve ever seen in MY country. I’m ready.
President Trump - In Spite Of Fauci & Birx - And His Task Force Are Providing Daily Hope for the American People
/edit
His Good Friday address was magnificent. The Bishop who spoke referred to him as "a Great Man" and recalled that the USA was founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
President Trump is truly a Great Man and a Great Hero, easily one of the Greatest Presidents in US history.
I watched his press conference yesterday transfixed. The power and depth of his intelligence, his honesty and candour, his magnanimity, his strength and powerful leadership qualities fascinate me.
They pass unnoticed over the mediocre minds of the hostile "news reporters," who cannot comprehend a man so superior to anything in their experience.
He towers over them. The gap between him and them is enormous. They obviously don't dare acknowledge this, even to themselves, because of the terror and confusion it would evoke.
President Trump is self-revealing. He openly acknowledges that his power, including his intelligence and profound sense of morality, come to him from God. He acknowledges the power of prayer.
This is true of all great intelligence. It is channeled. People whose minds are closed, the disciples of Blind King Dhritarashtra, will find this incomprehensible.
For the President of the USA to pray forthrightly before the nation and for the nation is extraordinary. It inspires the benevolent.
A nation who follows the leadership of a man who prays to God for guidance cannot fail.
As we give thanks for our salvation and renewal this Easter, we can also give thanks for President Trump.
Well, I for one have stopped watching them. There’s no news in them, only King Fauci and Queen Birx lecturing us, the endless destruction of the American economy, the endless prison sentence for all Americans, and my President bowing before two Deep Staters. The whole thing turns my stomach. I’m concentrating on preparing my homestead, because millions will die. Not from the virus, from crime and starvation.
Ha...make that Gravitationally challenged.
Banish him to the far side of the Moon.
“...hostile “news reporters,” who cannot comprehend a man so superior to anything in their experience...”
Actual ‘leadership’ terrifies the Liberals. Whereas, on the other hand, Conservatives approve and even DEMAND it from their elected politicians.
Trump is willing to, and totally able to, accept responsibility and make decisions. For him, spreading the responsibility around as thin as possible, just to shield himself, is inconceivable. THAT was an “O’vomit” default strategy with all and every Presidential directive.
