Donald Trump absolutely lit up his own Coronavirus Task Force press briefing with a more than six-minute, tour-de-force media takedown that had CNN and MSNBC sputtering and reaching for the plug.
Trump said hello and turned the media briefing over to the NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci to clarify his words uttered on CNN on shutting down the country earlier to prevent more deaths.
Then, Trump took over and it was ON. He listed the timeline of his response to the coronavirus and presented a video of incorrect statements by the press on COVID-19.

Great Image...Steampunker Trump
Just awesome. FINALLY, a President who fights back against lies and disinformation. Oh man...
The President should also re-institute the policy of having the questioner state his name and the name of the press outlet he represents before asking a question. Make sure the buffoons are properly associated with their employers, live.
“When you refuse to fight for yourself, you refuse to fight for us and America.”
AMEN!
Good one!
At least he is as sick of the swine as I am.
Hate to see him have to spend time on this but it has to be done. Game not over. They will never quit.
Sorry to see staff time have to go into making this kind of retort. I remember assembling e-mail threads to prove what was being said was not true. A massive waste of time in the midst of working a problem.
Liars are everywhere. The bend, contort and torture the truth to fit their agenda. Just a bunch of evil bastards.
That’s awesome.

And we’re worrying about ____________? Dates? Really?
Imagine what Trump will do to Joe Biden in a debate
CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid asked him, Are you doing this voluntarily? .......................... Everything I do is voluntary," he replied, clearly insulted by the question. "Please... dont even imply that.
Everyone notice this........ the MSM on social media is all over the “I have authority thing today”. This will be their next gripe. The presser today should be great.
Found it!!!
Has captions.

I heard the exchange and that is why I posted as I did.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Hamlet Act 3 scene 2
The problem is that MSM has their marching orders together - calling him panicked, angry, unhinged and absurd. CNN/MSBC/Networks/NYT/WP ... even the Seattle Times got in the act.
This all happened on one day.
They dont forget their stupidity and the governors - remember crying about ventilators
The new talking point is ya - you did the travel ban but nothing else in Feb
I just hate these guys
It was one of the most brilliant pressers of the modern era! I was also following Dennis Miller’s Facebook posts in real time during the press conference and was laughing my a** off so hard, I nearly fell off my chair.
Not fair to call out the lying media. Go stand in a corner.
