WH Holds Coronavirus 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 is now facing backlash — even from fellow Republicans — for his remark during last night’s briefing that his “authority is total” regarding the reopening of the economy. We’ll also keep our eyes peeled for an announcement on guidelines to reopen the economy, which National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow teased will come “in the next day or two.”

I was beginning to think there was a boycott going on and I depend on at least one person here watching and telling the rest of us what’s going on. :joy:

So do I. I was talking to my brother Sunday and we were talking about these “briefings”. He said he watched about 10 minutes before turn it off. He hasn’t watched one since.

Trump hasn’t mentioned his ratings for awhile either. I don’t know, haven’t seen anything, but I bet he’s steadily lost audience share.

I can’t resist following the stupid things here - as long someone will liveblog them for us and that’s incredibly selfish of me. hahahahaha

I am watching Gov Cuomo on CSPAN, his comments combined with POTUS Obama’s endorsement of Biden is going to make this an epic briefing.
All the way live!

ETA: Cuomo is being diplomatic and professional but he is pointing out where trump is wrong. “Spoiling for a fight”

Well, it is black history month. I imagine Steven Miller tore it out of all the White House calendars.

Quite a leap year eh?

Either that or Miller is proposing a new Trumpian calendar to replace the Gregorian…
