Is Donald Trump losing it? Or maybe this is just the way the president normally berates those around him, with no TV cameras present.
Let’s set the scene. It’s the daily coronavirus task force briefing in the White House press room. Trump calls on NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander, who asks what the president would say to Americans who are scared right now. A very legitimate question and frankly what should be a tip-in for Trump. But the president calls it a “nasty question.”
That was followed by a question from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
Earlier in the briefing, Trump and Dr. Antony Fauci contradicted each other on testing availability for coronavirus.
Meanwhile, as for delays in obtaining necessary, life-saving equipment for medical professionals, Trump found time to blame…Barack Obama!
The briefing was also highlighted by Trump again pushing a drug, Chloroquine, that hasn’t been approved, or even tested on coronavirus.
