Donald Trump absolutely lit up his own Coronavirus Task Force press briefing with a more than six-minute, tour-de-force media takedown that had CNN and MSNBC sputtering and reaching for the plug.
Trump said hello and turned the media briefing over to the NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci to clarify his words uttered on CNN on shutting down the country earlier to prevent more deaths.
Then, Trump took over and it was ON. He listed the timeline of his response to the coronavirus and presented a video of incorrect statements by the press on COVID-19.It was more than the Trumpiest of Trump updates, it was a Trump-de-Force:

It was great, but he should have added that he'll show a new one everyday, pointing out their lies and democrat propaganda and exposing them to the American people as the merely spokespeople for the democrat resistance that they certainly are.

What Trump did was make sure the Media folks were exposed to their own information, so now they can't say they weren't aware, didn't know, etc...
Very strategic, just like how he's baiting those Democrat governors to get their economies opened back up.
They're now tripping over themselves to be out-front to take credit, and deny Trump credit.
If they open up too soon, they become the face of the boomerang of the virus.

POTUS held each presstitute by the scruff of the neck and kicked them in the keister, again and again. All they could say is 'thank you sir, can I have some more please!'

The Covid-19 epidemic is all Trump’s fault was starting to take hold. He changed it with a single line. “When Somebody’s President of the United States, the Authority is Total’. Suddenly the media is more concerned about him becoming king than they are about the virus.

So what if they "pull the plug"? They just preach to their own choir anyway.
And now poor Fredo has become "frustrated" with his own career, saying he suddenly doesn’t “value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship” and "I don't like what I do professionally.''
Hell, Fredo, QUIT and go sell life insurance to the elderly or used clunkers to 16 year olds or time-shares in Belize.

The video was wonderful! My opinion: Show it again. Ask the attendees to write down what is inaccurate. The WH will fact check it and report back the next day. Anything that the attendees mention that is really true will be a new video and yugely embarrassing to the attendees.

CNN and MSNBC are fighting hard to protect their audience from ever learning any truths.

Over and over Trump beats the media dopes like a drum and they still think they are going to take him on?
Trump has a simple formula for going this. The media are idiots and repeatedly demonstrate that. When they have one of their little shows that no one watches, they fake up the data and think that is the last word. But the truth is out there and readily available, often from their own mouths. All Trump needs to do is collect it and make it available. They had a reporterette jump ugly yesterday until Trump simply said "Enough.". She thought she got some "cred" from it. Today was the overwhelming pushback against the whole media and CNN and MSNBC ran away with their tails between their legs whining like the mangy curs they are. The millions of people watching KNOW who won this dustup and they know what it says about the media.
They also know the media deserved what they got.
Bravo President Trump!

Trump is definitely on point now regarding corona virus. That's where he needs to be.
He retweets someone's post with the tag 'firefauci', and everybody talked about it, and tuned into his press conference.
He UNLOADED on the press and they deserved it. He fired a warning shot at Fauci that he should watch more carefully what he says. It was all by design. If Fauci keeps running his mouth, there will be consequences. He might be fired. He might be pushed to the side. Reopening the country has more to do with economics than medicine. Trump will find himself better advisers even though he probably doesn't really need them.

I have been reading a book by Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, which lays out in great detail the fact that President Trump is a "Master Persuader". The book is called, "Win Bigly" and Adams first says that even though he considers himself to be "beyond liberal", that from 2015 he predicted DJT would win the presidency because of his mastery of persuasion. It is a fascinating read. I see yesterday's use of the video as another example of many of how DJT is unlike any president ever in achieving his goals and aspirations.

I gave up TV news in the aftermath of the 2000 elections; however, reading the article and the comments here, I wish I had made a one-time exception.

They demand to pull the plug because the light Trump is shining makes impossible for them to lie.

The national media are like the crooks in the movie "Home Alone" - they thoroughly get beaten up by Trump every time but they keep coming back for more.

Well no doubt President Trump KO’ed the liberal media in his daily briefing yesterday. Clearly the media was in shock, and and in response flew off the handle and spun what actually happened by creating as much controversy as possible. Don’t be surprised if the liberal media does not run to Adam Schiff to encourage him to open a new investigation targeting Trump for violating the Hatch Act, claiming that by putting up his “slide show” to defend himself, Trump actually put up a political campaign type presentation in the White House using government employees and money to create Trump’s “slide show”. We might even hear that there is a new “whistleblower”.

Article's last line: "How the media will respond after this is anyone's guess."

Both Jon Karl and a blonde reporterette in read tried very hard to make fools of themselves.

I'm sure they Press will send in their top reporters today. They feel they must take him down a peg or two and the Reporters yesterday didn't do a good job at all doing it. So, send in the Tag Team! Should be interesting! Meanwhile, The President keeps on winning. Nobody cares if CNN or MSNBC pull the Plug. There isn't a single person, other than Maniac Liberals, who watch them anyway!

The RNC needs to take a page out of President Trumps playbook and run ads like these across the nation. In certain parts of the county, populated mostly by Democrats, these informercials should be produced in a cartoon format to accommodate the lower IQ's.

I have missed Victoria Taft so much since she stopped being on the radio out of Portland Oregon. She has a rapier wit and can nail opponents with a few well chosen words. Glad to see she is back and rocking the house. This is a great article.
