He just gets in the way with his self-absorbed, asinine antics. How about we stop bringing the 3-year-old to the meeting where the adults are trying to talk?

(14,160 posts)trDump called on the OAN woman at the CV-19 news briefing.
trDump said,
"OAN, yes OAN, such a nice media outfit, they always treat me so well."
(It is a Fascist news outlet,... no wonder trDump likes them.)

(115,829 posts)without warning at a secure undisclosed location. Unfortunately Mike Dense, Brownnoser-In-Chief, runs that committee and there's no way in Hell (which is where we seem to be now) that he would keep his lord and master out of the loop. Anybody who would talk to the media without His Lardship's permission would be sacked and probably sent to Gitmo.

(14,083 posts)Trump will never agree to not appear on camera. We need one, maybe with a Potemkin press core, cameras, flashing lights, cheering crowds, where Trump can appear in all his glory. And then another, real press event where the adults can talk.

(15,143 posts)Have him walk into a nearly empty press room and take questions from OAN and Breitbart. Don't televise it. Quit feeding his bottomless pit of a ...... I don't know what to call it. It's certainly not a soul. He doesn't have one of those.

(21,901 posts)he can't hold rallies any more so he gets off on these press conferences. he LOVES all the attention and reporters yelling Mr. President, Mr. President. He Loves it.
I don't want to hear how to stop a pandemic from a politician. Let's only hear from the medical people.
I noticed today, even when he is not at the podium, he is the one who points at which reporter can ask a question.
He's the emcee. We don't need trump and pence both there. get rid of trump. pence can be the emcee.

Caliman73
(11,744 posts)There is no value in attending the pressers. Trump is using them as a replacement for his rallies that he can't have. He needs to keep himself in the news and try to spin to his advantage.
I have said that the press should send one reporter to ask difficult questions that people need to know. If Trump dodges the question there are no other people to jump to. He can cut the presser short and not get enough airtime, or he has to answer the questions.

(15,805 posts)These are Trump's staged presses. Trump invites the expert talking props to make himself look smarter than he is. He controls everything that happens in that room.
He thinks he's doing a great job. He thinks he's an expert on everything; he really believes that. There really is no "they". His handpicked team are self serving ass kissers first and foremost and will not say anything that will threatened their income.

(103 posts)Trump has to be the center of attention. He needs the adoration and attention as bad as any addict needs their fix.
No way he's going to stop being there. He gets his daily dose of "me, me, me."
I think he's turning off every independent voter in the nation though. I hope so. I don't think he'll lose much of his cult with his lies and behavior. They are a cult after all.

In my opinion, neither he or pence should be gthe face of the rtask force, it should be Dr Fauci or another doctor or scientist.
