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....

I was not a Trump supporter during the 2016 primaries, but this is why I now support him as our President. And after many, many years of “nuanced” Presidents (both Bushes, Clinton, Obama), I find it refreshing that Pres. Trump shoots from the hip.

Savage. You would think they'd learn, but they keep getting their liberal asses kicked by a Master at setting the conditions for rhetoric.

This is a turning point on how the media will be handled.

I don’t know who that blonde reporterette on the left was, but my wife said it was like watching a teenager daughter arguing with her father, and getting no where. Perfect description!

“My impression from outside the country is that you’re lucky to have a businessman and not a politician as your leader.”

I think the WORLD is blessed that we have President Trump.

A strong and respected America is a good thing to keep those in line who would forment mischief.

With that in mind I think one leader, Xi Jinping would be well advised to review what Yamamoto said after their ill advised attack on Pearl Harbor.

To wit: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

The President administered a spanking on the Fake News part of the White House Press Corps.

And for those who stayed....he baited them until they got pissed off.

A joy to behold.

His bio doesn’t mention his marriage to the yapping badger. Maybe he forgot.
