CNN)Nobody knows how much damage coronavirus will cause. But one thing is clear: the crisis has

tested President Donald Trump -- and he has proven to be an astonishing success in a way no president ever has before.
But let's be clear: his success isn't at leading a desperate nation. Instead, coronavirus has exposed the real success of the President's unyielding assault on the media during his time in office.

Read the whole thing, especially the end:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/opinions/trump-coronavirus-accomplishment-williams/index.html

So, while the war on "fake news" might just look like the grumbling of a President who's sore about the coverage he gets from what he thinks is a biased media, it's far bigger than that. It's a destructive, ongoing attack that could bring with it massive public health costs.
So, congratulations, Mr. President! In undermining the free press, you have succeeded at something that seems to have been critically important to you for years. Now good luck cleaning up the mess you've created.

Lock him up.

"and he has proven to be an astonishing success in a way no president ever has before."

An attempt to get his attention... but since the irresponsible, childish moron can't read... won't happen.
