Donald Trump is trucking right along with yet another of his daily coronavirus task force briefings — which have essentially become nothing more than a replacement for his old MAGA rallies that he’s not allowed to hold anymore now that he’s got a little pandemic on his hands and people can’t be within 6 feet of each other lest they make it even worse.
But it’s quickly becoming strikingly evident that these little press briefings are just not the same for Donald. Instead of an arena packed full of idiots like sardines in a can, all screaming and yelling his praises, Trump is stuck in front of the people he despises most day in and day out — the media.
And unlike those MAGA crowds, those White House reporters aren’t all so keen on giving Donnie his desperately needed ego boost for the day.
In fact, those reporters tend to do the opposite.

It seems as though the White House correspondents who have the displeasure of sitting in on these incessant, ridiculous briefings are getting just as sick as the American public of listening to Trump stand on that stage, day after day, and spout nothing but bullshit, and often downright dangerous, lies with absolutely no repercussions.
It’s getting old. Quick.
And ABC News White House Correspondent Jon Karl has evidently had enough of it — and he made damn sure Trump knew it.
As Trump spouted lie after lie, regarding everything from when or if the coronavirus will make a second wave to whining that no one would be satisfied even if he testing every single American ten times, Karl got his fill of it and blurted out, “That’s not true!”
Right there in front of God and everybody, folks.
Trump quickly fired back that Karl is “one of the leaders of the bad reporting.” But we all know who will be losing sleep over that little ordeal tonight, and it’s not gonna be the reporter.
