If Trump did it it would not be broadcast on all those networks except maybe Fox.


And the dems would claim it was a campaign event and demand equal time.

“All of these leftist nutworks will air The Grifter’s speech, yet most of these don’t even carry President Trump’s China Flu, or other briefings.

Spit on them.”

An excellent time for a “test” of the Emergency Alert System followed by an hour of social distancing PSA’s.

Dunno, I usually change the channel or hit mute when commercials come on.
