Trump Barged Into Coronavirus Meeting And Announced That He Wants His Own Radio Show


Trump showed up to a coronavirus task force meeting and announced that he wanted to start his own White House talk radio show in the middle of a pandemic.
trump did not want to compete with Rush limpballs. ha ha ha.




Via The Washington Post:

On a Saturday in early March, Donald J. Trump, clad in a baseball cap, strode into the Situation Room for a meeting with the coronavirus task force. He didn’t stop by the group’s daily meetings often, but he had an idea he was eager to share: He wanted to start a White House talk radio show.

At the time, the virus was rapidly spreading across the country, and Mr. Trump would soon announce a ban on European travel. A talk radio show, Mr. Trump excitedly explained, would allow him to quell Americans’ fears and answer their questions about the pandemic directly, according to three White House officials who heard the pitch. There would be no screening, he said, just an open line for people to call and engage one-on-one with the president.

Trump wanted to spend two working hours a day, every weekday of his presidency, hosting a talk radio show. Trump-backed off of the idea, because he didn’t want to compete with Rush Limbaugh and refused to do his show on evenings or weekends.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are sick. Tens of thousands of people are dead, with thousands more dying each day, and Donald Trump’s big idea to deal with a public health crisis is a talk show. Trump’s working schedule is only a few hours a day, and he spends two of those hours on television at coronavirus briefings that have turned into propaganda rallies. ..........................

2. Tells you what he wants to do after we beat him.

He will start that tv station he talks about and drive us nuts until he drops.

3. This has so much "FAIL"

That I don't even know where to start. Yeh, he "backed off" the idea Where exactly did he think this was going to be aired? Not on anything governed by the FCC.

4. He's working on his new career after he loses the election

5. When he's voted out of office he could start his own Jailhouse Talk Show 24/7!

8. Perfect!

6. Seriously, WTF is wrong with this asshole? Every day, even more idiotic.

[Takket]

7. Well... not a bad idea if you consider...

Right now the media makes us look at him and listen to him two hours a day. Under this plan at least we don’t have to LOOK at him.

9. I say, give him what he wants, with one tiny little proviso:

The show must be broadcast live between the hours of 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM (local time, and must be broadcast live and on location in N'Djamena, Chad.

10. sure sounds like a deal to me!

[saidsimplesimon]

11. Could IT even find Chad on a map?

[DFW]

12. Of course not.

He probably thinks it's part of a 1960s folk singing trio.

No matter, as long he gets a one way ticket--he'll hear of it soon enough when he hears he can't leave.
