Trump says briefings 'not worth the effort' amid fallout from disinfectant comments

The president remained behind closed doors after advisers reportedly warned him that the briefings were hurting his campaign

After more than a month of near-daily White House coronavirus press briefings, Donald Trump stayed behind closed doors on Saturday after advisers reportedly warned the president that his appearances were hurting his campaign.

Trump himself referenced his absence when he wrote on Twitter that the briefings are “not worth the time & effort”. The president wrote the tweet on Saturday evening, when he would usually be taking the podium to address journalists.

“What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately,” he wrote. “They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!”

In recent weeks Trump has used the briefings to dole out unproven and debunked medical advice, suggesting that things like sunlight and an anti-malaria drug are cures to Covid-19, often causing his own medical experts to try to correct the record.

'not worth the effort'. Effort being no one around to nurse his trampled feelings.

and

“They get record ratings,....". Wait a minute, I thought the press were all failing. As in failing NYT, failing CNN, etc.

He's a two-bit chump.

Having a captive audience of cadets at West Point soon won’t be enough...he needs thousands of fawning red hats applauding whatever garbage he spews. Soon, very soon.

Hasn't got the stones to face up to a pack of reporters, or the brains to make sense when he tries. Has to back out because he can't ever win. A complete and utter loser....
