Dammit. Virus presser cancelled; but the goon is holding a 5PM news conference

ABC news
Coronavirus government response updates: After daily briefing canceled, Trump to hold 'news conference'
The news conference is scheduled for 5 p.m., as was the cancelled briefing.

The White House says President Donald Trump will hold a 5 p.m news conference Monday, the same time as a task force briefing that had been scheduled, and then canceled, earlier in the day.

Trump will face reporters after facing backlash for floating the idea of injecting disinfectant to treat COVID-19 -- which he later called "sarcasm" -- and then walking out of Friday's briefing without taking questions.

Deny this fuckstick of the attention he craves, and in two days he'll be rolling around naked on the White House lawn in a fetal position sucking his thumb and playing with his own poop.

That's a Pulitzer story right there.

Just ignore him for a couple of days and he'll give you all the news you could ever dream of.

Creamed spinach in the nose and ears? Anti-freeze eye drops? Wait, creeping bent grass clippings from the greens at Trump golf courses made into tea. Follow the $$$.

Garlic cloves?

That's "healthy" stuff - do you think ANY of that has ever come close to that "shrine of shit?"

Now the "grass clippings" I could see - its something that he and "the family" could make a profit on!

totally unhinged and bursting with pent up rage. It's sure to be a show stopper, chuck full of Trumpian victimhood and a woe is me whine fest like nothing we have ever seen before. Trump will bully the press corps, deny the videos and refute his own words, and deliver more lies and disinformation since recorded history began.

Bring your own popcorn and beverage of choice.

I can't watch that... thing. I can't even look at its picture.

There are plenty of movies I can watch if I'm looking for a reason to get pissed off without throwing up.

Normally, I tune in to MSNBC around 6:00 or 7:00 and keep going through Rachel's show ends at 10:00. But I can't stand to see that orange anus at all, and can't take a risk it will still be on. So I'm watching a lot of History Channel, Science Channel, etc and MSNBC has lost me for the night.

He's selling others, and taking credit by association. That's all he's doing.

As he says everyday: "It never should have happened."

Who are you referring to, cowardly pathetic loser? Blaming Obama again.

I do hope that Obama's pandemic team, etc., have a forum (e.g., campaign ads) to directly communicate the truth before the election.
