Trump Throws A Fit Because Nobody Took His Coronavirus Press Conference Seriously [View all]

Donald Trump’s press conference on Wednesday did nothing to calm the fear that many Americans have about the coronavirus outbreak that has now reached U.S. shores.

As PoliticusUSA’s Sarah Jones noted earlier on Thursday, the stock market is having its worst week since the financial crisis – a sign that just about nobody is confident in Trump’s ability to manage this global health crisis.

On Thursday, the president threw a fit that his made-for-TV coronavirus press conference wasn’t viewed favorably by the public, blaming the media for not raving about how “calming” it was.

“It would be really nice if we could be recognized by the press fairly,” Trump whined. “I gave a press conference yesterday that was really a very good press conference, and some people thought it was great.”

He added, “Basically it was a calming press conference. It was a conference to say we’re doing well.”
