Trump: 'Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad' on coronavirus response

Trump in an early morning tweet on Sunday accused the "Fake News Media" of attempting to "make us look bad" on the administration's coronavirus response.

The president called the White House's plan to combat the growing outbreak in the U.S. "perfectly coordinated and fine tuned."

"We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend," he tweeted. "V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!"

It was unclear what prompted the president's tweet.

They have all been rehashed so many times they do not deserve further comment. It comes to this why do female mosquitoes suck blood?

... Trump & Co don't require any assistance from the media, 'fake' or otherwise.

I was going to say this exactly.

These clowns only have their own interests, no one else matters.

Fuck them all.
