During a victory lap press briefing at the White House on Friday, President Donald Trump praised reporters for sitting in a close arrangement that was ordered by his own press office — a move that defied social distancing guidelines despite ongoing warnings from the CDC about the need to comply to keep the coronavirus at bay.
Reporters Call Out WH For Flouting _______________________________
See, it CAN be done!
Trump: Social Distancing is for jerks. Now stay away from me.
They should try it some more. They may find they like it so much they’ll do it all the time.
Next:
White House reporters agree that all further reporting on the new fencing will identify it as the Chicken Coop.
Why sit down for the press event? At no point moving forward will he not be trying to use them for his own ends. He’s stopped governing, I understand he still needs to be covered, but when they see shit like this, tweet the photo and leave Fox and the crazies there by themselves.
How it looks is all that matters to the WH.
These are the ideas that get implemented when you don’t have any “smartest people in the room”.
It looks like the inmates are running the asylum.
I am liking “Baby Gate” even more than “Chicken Coop”.
Hmmmm…”Baby Gate”…that could also refer to his “presidency”…
At least the WH didn’t seize their masks…
How about a word at how utterly insane he was at this press event. He was bat shit crazy. Yes, moving the chairs was an in your face slam to the press but you all have been there now for 3+ yrs. Today’s event had him evoke George Floyd who died at the hands of Minneapolis cops (he couldn’t even pronounce Minneapolis.) while boasting about jobs he claimed to have created. Get over yourselves.
I firmly believe that you should only call him out when he lies…
Next time, they should each show up with a body bag and sit in that.
You don’t actually have to come running when he says squirrel.
Why didn’t the press on site just re-rearrange the chairs back to a safe distance?
The fuckwit will not keep his mouth shut so he gets whacked in the face with his own bullshit.
He didn’t have to congratulate the press for something he ordered done but that’s why he ordered it done - that’s clear now, so he could make that statement.
Fuck you you twisted motherfucker - Resign Now!
The press should have refused to stay there and they should have taken their cameras with them. Trump doesn’t feel alive if he’s not in front of a camera.
They have been doing the best job they can. This is important to show as well, that Trump is about nothing but image, ever.
He insulted Yamiche Alcindor again today, for asking why Blacks should be pleased when unemployment ticked up for them. “Ugh, you are really something.”
