WH Coronavirus Task Force Briefing | Talking Points Memo

TPM Article Topics
1

President Trump and the White House coronavirus task force are scheduled to hold a briefing at 5 p.m. ET. Trump will likely discuss his retweet of a post declaring it was “time to #FireFauci” on last night, which the White House dismissed as “media chatter” in a statement hours before the briefing. The briefing also comes hours after Fox News first reported that Trump has formed a second task force focused on reopening the economy.

Soon, perhaps sooner than we think, every question he gets (besides OAN), will be met with “fake news.” Today (I hope) it will be about Fauci, the “testing sites” (there are five), and the governors’ decisions to open the economy.

Let the gaslighting and sociopathy begin!

Hey, Fat Bastard, it wasn’t media speculation fueling talk that Fauci was being fired, it was your own goddamn Tweet, you fat fucker.

No, we know he won’t show up for a couple of hours so we’re saving ourselves for then.

It’s the only way to get through this, at least until the experts come on. I should make myself useful and post cocktail recipes, but I fear I would only attract Judge Jeanine. And I can’t have that.
