Donald Trump’s pressers on the potentially deadly COVID-19 outbreak are usually all over the map. During a couple of his briefings, the president stuck to his script, but lately, he’s a hot, exhausted mess. Again, Trump lashed out at the media which likely delighted his cheetofucking, trash baby followers. But, to the rest of us that want to know what the fuck the Trump administration is doing over the pandemic, the former frozen steak salesman was profoundly disappointing.
At one point, the president said the media never calls him for comment; then, he went on to speculate that the Washington Post is critical toward him lately because maybe his administration isn’t returning the Post‘s calls. Trump lashed out at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, both of which he claimed he “barely reads.” The carnival barker then claimed the mainstream media is generally “corrupt.”
Trump’s whine-fest was so petty, petulant, and tiresome that it started calcifying my brain, so be forewarned as you continue to read.
“You’re actually sitting too close,” Trump told the reporters in the room. “We should probably get rid of about another 75-80 percent of you. I’ll have just two or three of you that I like in this room. I think that’s a great way of doing it.”

Meanwhile, Trump was standing in close proximity to individuals near the podium. We can imagine who Trump would choose to take questions from: The Daily Stormer, Stormfront, Fox News, and Infowars.
Trump was dripping with contempt for the press, much like he does every day when his fuck-ups are covered in the news. Being president means that you will be subject to criticism, but Chaos Agent Donald Trump just can’t handle it or thinks he’s above scrutiny. Or both. This is the world we live in now, though.
