Dr. Birx may not be back.

This video clip is not the whole story. He actually asked her the same question (actually it was not a question just a rant about the press corp) twice and she would not answer.

From his expression you could tell Trumpie was furious at her.

[OhNo-Really]

1. The 🎤? Trump?

[FM123]

2. Yep. It won't be long before he'll be standing up there without any medical experts by his side.

I am counting the days until he shows up dressed in scrubs to say "I am not a doctor, but I play one on TV".

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. I'm looking for Rudy to appear any day now.

Dr. Rudy, that is......... ...... .......

[FM123]

10. Hey, it could happen...

looks like he brought Dr. Bill Barr today

[Grasswire2]

28. Dr. OZ is going to be on the FOX town hall Tuesday morning.

I'm not kidding.

[FM123]

32. Wow, who's next - Dr. Phil?

[yonder]

30. I couldn't figure out why Barr was up there. What's his role?

Arresting reporters on the spot?

[FM123]

33. Yep, why was he even there?

Maybe trump is running out of people who will stand next to him...

[Strelnikov_]

3. He is insane . . . end of story n/t

[greenjar_01]

4. Good God, what a disgusting asshole

I hate him like poison.

[spanone]

6. He was a total embarrassment today..

[llmart]

7. She's embarrassing herself by showing up to these.

She is a very well-qualified expert and if she had any self-respect, she'd refuse to do these idiotic/unhelpful shows.

[Ilsa]

13. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume

She has altruistic motives., that she cares about the public, unlike MF45.

[llmart]

17. That may be true but...

her submissive demeanor doesn't inspire confidence since she gives the impression she agrees with the dufus with all her head bobbing, etc.

[spanone]

8. She should have told him that this is serious shit, mr. president

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. At least he can acknowledge smaller crowds now.

That narcissistic asshole probably wants more people hanging on his idiotic words, even if they’re people he despises.

[Skittles]

12. WHY WHY WHY

WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HUMILIATE THEMSELVES FOR THAT FASCIST BUFFOON......*****WHY*****?????

[Niagara]

14. I can't stomach these so called "pressers" anymore

I watched 6 different abusive manipulation tactics in this short clip, either towards Dr. Birx or towards the press.


Rage- Listen to his voice, that is absolute anger.
Projection-It wasn't me, it was you. I'm a nice guy but you made me hit you!
The Stare- Instance stare designed to scare the victim.
Twisting- Blame the victim for ones own actions.
Manipulation- Control tactic to get the victim to agree.
Victim Card- They're so mean to me. Blah, blah, blah. Designed to gain sympathy and further control behavior.


Why do we as a country have to deal with this B.S.?

[Totally Tunsie]

19. Spot on!

[Niagara]

22. Sadly, I was married to a manipulator

I didn't know the tactics used during my marriage. Since therapy, I now can recognize most of the tactics used and how to deal with it.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. Ooooooo, Niagara. So sorry to hear that.

It's a sad and tough way to get an education.

Be well.

31. Psychopathy 101.

That checks off 6 of the basics on this list:

[Ms. Toad]

15. What expression?

I don't see that the camera panned back to him after she started talking.

[DURHAM D]

16. The above clip is not even 1/3 of the exchange

but all that I have seen so far. Part of the problem is that all the networks and MSNBC and CNN cut away from the circus.

[tblue37]

18. Could you summarize for us deafies, please? Thanks! nt

[Niagara]

21. I tried to write it down word for word

I couldn't find any transcripts for today's meeting.



Donald tRump talking to Dr. Birx:

So, we have a lot of angry media, all around this room...and they want one of these seats. But because of social distancing...we are...keeping them empty. And they are keeping them empty. Will there ever be a time when ALL of those really angry, angry people who don't like me much to start off with..but now they really don't like me ....will there ever be a time when these seats are full, like full to the brim like it use to be...where people are almost sitting on each others laps...And this whole row here is packed and now they're outside wanting to get in and very jealous....


I didn't write the rest of it down because I felt like my IQ dropped after writing down his idiotic word salad. Dr. Birx ignored his paranoid drug fueled question and went on to talk about our current crisis that he helped create.

[tblue37]

27. Thanks so much! nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. What a petty ass little man

[UTUSN]

24. He tries to humiliate women, tia. Tries with anybody who doesn't live in his gutter,

who has solid accomplishments, integrity, and is therefore superior to him.

[Corgigal]

25. I bet,

in his mind, he is helping that little lady. Cause we don’t think so well.

I gonna throw something at something, be back...

[Turbineguy]

26. Without the Doctors

There is no reason to broadcast the the briefing. Reporters can stay away.

[flibbitygiblets]

29. Introducing our next Coronavirus expert, Dr. Ronny Jackson?

Toadies are just so hard to come by these days!
