Trump Demands Barr Investigate The Media's Coronavirus Coverage
Trump has asked Attorney General William Barr to launch a Department of Justice investigation into the media’s coronavirus coverage.
Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair reported:
The problem is that the crisis fits into his preexisting and deeply held worldview—that the media is always searching for a story to bring him down. Covid-19 is merely the latest instance, and he’s reacting in familiar ways. “So much FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted this morning. “He wants Justice to open investigations of the media for market manipulation,” a source close to the White House told me.
Trump is also frustrated with his West Wing for not getting a handle on the news cycle. “He’s very frustrated he doesn’t have a good team around him,” a former White House official said. On Friday, he forced out acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and replaced him with former House Freedom Caucus chair Mark Meadows. Trump thought the virus was “getting beyond Mick,” a person briefed on the internal discussions said.
Trump thinks that the stock market can be manipulated by media coverage, so he believes that the press is conspiring against him to manipulate the stock market by reporting on the coronavirus.
The stock market is plummeting, because they see a domestic public health crisis that is worsening by the day, and a president who has no clue what to do about it. Trump is trying to deal with the coronavirus as a stock market problem, not a health issue. He is incapable of understanding that the markets would go up if he would competently address the coronavirus crisis.
Not even William Barr will launch an investigation into the media for their reporting on the coronavirus.
Trump only cares about the stock market and is looking to blame the media for his total failure as a president.
Trump’s lies can’t hide the ugly truth about the spread of the coronavirus.

That is a masterful turn of phrase! 
What are they preparing for?
What earthly purpose is there to keep this raging, asshole-dictator-wanna-be in office? What does he actually do that’s wise and healthy for the country?
With every passing day, he breaks more laws, makes more enemies, and destroys democracy by degrees. His steady stream of lies is so shallow and transparent that a child could spot it. And when he’s not congratulating HIMSELF about something outrageous, all he does is cry and whine about how everything is so unfair to HIM.
Who, in their right mind, would tolerate this kind of behavior from a family member, a friend, a colleague, or a neighbor? 
ban it, like he did the Mexicans.
After all, it is named "Corona".

but I guess this is for real, huh? This mal-administration has officially jumped the shark. Time to change the locks on the White House while Humpty-Trumpty is away. 
My brain was so fried after what I just read, I couldn't find the words. Your words work perfectly
So, ditto.
I'm blue in the face, exhausted chatting with the young people at work to get out and vote in November. Most are Bernie enthusiasts, yet motivated enough to get the orange menace out, so even if it's Biden I believe they'll act. I'm only encountering resistance to do so from some who possess so little intellect I suspect they would likely vote for the goofball T-rump monster.
I think I should print it out, and tape it to my refrigerator.
I'd lose 10 lbs without even thinking about it. Wouldn't be able to stand to go near the refrigerator!
Seriously?
