Trump has an epic meltdown and goes on a screed about the media when he is asked what he would tell people who are scared. Trump called NBC's Peter Alexander a terrible reporter and started yelling and ranting.





Noah Rothman@NoahCRothman·1h
"What do you say to millions of Americans who are scared?" - Peter Alexander

"I say that you are a terrible reporter." - Trump

Really bad look for the president here.

Yamiche Alcindor@Yamiche
My Q: When will everyone who needs a coronavirus test be able to get a test?

Pres Trump: “No-one is talking about this except you, which doesn’t surprise me."

My Q: What about people w/ symptoms who cannot get a test?

Trump: "Yeah, well, OK. I’m not— I'm not hearing it."

10. Answering questions and providing useful information isn't the point

of these pressers. He just wants time to be on stage and to be the center of attention. Anything other than positive strokes is not tolerated well, because he's there to stoke his ego. He is completely useless, and most of his administration is as incompetent as he is, often by design. Donald Trump has become a national security risk who poses a clear and present danger to the American people, and through the coronavirus pandemic he is willfully mishandling, also a clear and present danger the world.

He cannot remain in office. If the country wants to recover from this fiasco with some sort of intact economy and institutional infrastructure, he has got to go.
