They are lies and endangers lives and only feed his ego. So is MSNBC going to keep showing them?

"Watch what they do, not what they say" is Maddow's motto.

I have a theory.

He’s diluting his power by doing these daily. I suspect even his most ardent followers are simply getting bored. Viewership is dropping with every presser he leads. People are tuning out.

Just a hunch.

I think on the other hand that he is successful at gaslighting people. His supporters associate him being on TV every day as being on top of it and leading the response. They are not much into details and critical thinking.

Why subject the people to a toxic pit hog with dictator designs at a time like this?

Mental health officials should be speaking out about the negative impact El Presidente is having on this. He is like a bucket of salt on a bad, deep wound.

You talk about social distancing, well, we need media distancing as relief from that chronic, orange disease. Sequester that miscreant, PLEASE! We all will be much better off without him around to increase the confusion and chaos.

behind the scenes. Watch and see how distressed the people behind him look.
