Donald Trump tweeted this weekend, amid a global pandemic that has taken thousands of lives, that his White House coronavirus briefings are doing ''Monday Night Football' numbers.
"Trump’s own words prove why networks need to cut away from his press conferences,". "He’s using a global pandemic to get free airtime to hold a campaign rally. He brags about “ratings” not whether he’s giving public valuable health info."
. "Yet there are some networks saying they are debating whether or not to carry these briefings live. Do you think there is a link between the two?"He added: “I don’t want approval ratings from this. I wish we could have our old life back. We had the greatest economy that we’ve ever had and we didn’t have death. We didn’t have this horrible scourge, this plague, call it whatever you want: the virus. But we’re working very hard, that’s all I know.
Then he added, about the claim that the governors were over-starting their needs: "I never said that."When she tried to ask a second question, Trump cut her off, saying "that's enough," and a White House aide forcibly took the microphones from her hand. Later, when CNN's Jeremy Diamond was called on, he yielded to Alcindor, whom Trump then allowed to ask a follow-up question.
