Brutal Trump-de-Force at the Coronavirus Hearing Leaves Media Screaming 'Pull the Plug!'
PJ Media ^ | 13 Apr 2020 | Victoria Taft

Posted on 04/13/2020 6:07:11 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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:

.....

MSNBC and CNN, which usually begin taking the updates only after Trump has spoken, stayed with for Fauci and, when Trump began bagging on the media, bugged out early....

Trump himself mostvdefinetly did not take Fauci to the eood shed but someone did. That was obvious seeing his reaction when he was asked about it.

Her name is Paula Reid

Here's a brief bio on her husband, Jason Reid

The info on her husband is a little wonky. I found this on twitter, but did some look up to make sure it was accurate. Nothing came up, but in her bio, it said she was married to Jason Kolsevich,. Kolsevich apparently took her name, and is a consultant at Water Street. A search for him as Jason Reid didn't turn any results, but when I searched Jason Kolsevich, his name came up, but on the Waters Street web site, it lists him as Jason Reid.

“Trump was pissed today. It was obvious he had taken Fauci to the woodshed.”

I think maybe Trump himself didn’t do it so when/if they were asked they could truthfully say that it didn’t happen. That’s not to say someone else didn’t do it. Navarro would be capable of an epic a$$ chewing, I think. Maybe Rudy.

He should have said that Barron put it together as part of his home schooling program.

Pretty much.
About two years ago some people connected the dots that a lot of the stick-liberal men with the glasses look consume huge amounts of soy.

It was sweet - had them trying to twist it into “you’re putting up campaign ads” as he ‘splained that showing the truth was the best way to fight lies ... they hate that.

“.. Today was brutal. Their lack of self-awareness is unbelievable....”

Well, if we can’t have Trump Rallies, then at least we get to see Trump eviscerating the libtard media NPCs.

Which is ALWAYS enjoyable to watch...

I imagine that several times and then mention that to my liberal friends if Hillary had been in charge of this crisis and the economy

An eye-opening absolute disaster scenario

Today’s presser was one for the ages! It was fabulous. Can’t wait for Tuesday’s ;-)

* * *

One good reason for this Press takedown was that Trump wants to set the case for tomorrow’s subject which is a plan to open up the country for business.

He wants to make it very clear that he’s in command and progress has been made on the Virus.

Fighting with the press today put him in full command going forward.

The red tie was planned. Good visual message.

These press conferences have many purposes outside of the obvious. He is informing the American public without the media filter. He is conducting a rally of sorts. He is campaigning for re-election without asking for votes. He is exposing the media for who they are. He is reassuring the American taxpayer that he has their backs.

Keep on Trucking, Mr. Trump.

Those Leftist women seem to really go for the fem-boy type as husbands. I guess they just have this need to have a man that they can henpeck and dominate.

"He just keeps on dunking on them"

================================

And sinking 3 pointers and half courts at the buzzer. Trump is the Larry Bird of politics.

Folks on twitter are noticing the same thing....that the guy goes by two names.

Maybe he will get two $1200 checks.

I truly wonder if we’ll ever see true justice to so many that should be hung at the nearest tree.

It's going to be either them or us. They have the same point of view. Research my posts and see how many times I have advocated hanging.
