President Trump announced Wednesday that he would be holding a 6 p.m. ET news conference to discuss the coronavirus, which is rapidly spreading around the world and triggering fears of a pandemic.
The president also bashed the media and Democrats for allegedly overhyping the threat.
"Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus [sic] look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible," Trump said, referencing dives in the U.S. stock market both Monday and Tuesday which were triggered by fears about coronavirus. "Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape!"
"I will be having a News Conference at the White House, on this subject, today at 6:00 P.M. CDC representatives, and others, will be there. Thank you!" he wrote.
The president's announcement follows criticism from many in the media about his administration's handling of the threat and comments made by Democratic presidential contenders Tuesday night on the South Carolina debate stage to the same effect.
Ahead of the debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted that Trump is mishandling the U.S. government's response to the virus, which originated in China's Wuhan province and has infected tens of thousands around the globe, despite largely sparing U.S. citizens on American soil so far.
"The Trump administration is absolutely bungling the response to coronavirus, putting our public health and our economy at risk," she said. "This is why we need a real plan and an adult in charge."
Warren then tweeted her plan for "combating infectious disease outbreaks," and went on to slam Trump for "crisis mismanagement," previous budget cuts to health programs and not taking a stronger stance against Chinese President Xi Jinping after his country's largely opaque response to the outbreak.

NO idea.
THIS is why the president needs to handle it properly.
Remove the ammo.
In he comes!
Thousands of scientists agree that if President Trump doesn’t say what you want then “This may bring the Trump administration down”
WTF
Your off your rocker. It’s a big deal but your pearl clutching and statements about what the President might or might not say are just over the top.
Are you just a troll.
Dude...he was saying what they will try to say
No he did not. He said “This may bring the Trump administration down. If he lies or blames the media then he is done.”
Does the president lie ? Go waeagle yourself!
Bad things happen. Period.
Is the press asking him questions about Russia, stuff completely unrelated to the virus?
“...Can they explain to us why even righteous Christians in China are being infected?...”
If this is indeed true. (I haven’t found any stories on it.)
Just this:
Just a few more thoughts...:)
Matthew 5:45
Luke 13:1-5
Psalm 90:12
Job 38
WeatherWise (Since 1/31/2020) got treated to a massage from the BANHAMMER OF THE MODS!!!
That or they used a can of Troll-B-Gone on him!!!

RE: this is indeed true. (I haven’t found any stories on it.)
Dr. Li Wen Liang, the Wuhan doctor who first sounded the alarm on the Coronavirus and was severely reprimanded and silence for that was a Christian. He died from its infection a few weeks ago.
Christians in China tell us that he is Chrustian. His farewell letter to his wife as he lay dying quoted the Apostle Paul in his final letter to Timothy.
I called it. Do I get extra credit?
And I intend the wareagle yourself as a complement. Kind of like running a field goal back for a touchdown to break the entire state in half for years to come.
Thank you for sharing about Dr. Liang. A true hero. Prayers for his wife and family.
Yeah it’s a waste of time having to deal with concern trolls, glad to see he/she/it/them is gone.
This may bring the Trump administration down.
If he lies or blames the media then he is done.
Oh, and then what? And then who? The democrats??? I wouldn’t want those lunatics in charge right now if my life depended on it ....
Which begs the question ...did he die from the virus, or did he die because he was a Christian then?
We’ll truly never know with the communist chinese.
The righteous and the unrighteous were carried away by the Babylonians and Assyrians. The prophet Habbakuk even laments that those God called to judge the Jews were more iniquitous than the Jews.
I don’t think this is a Biblical plague but the example of Lot is only partially useful here.
Good point.
