We don't need a Coronovirus "update" every flipping day from the White House

[thegoose]

Especially when Orange Anus just blathers out variations of his same themes and insults in his dreary-assed voice. Low-Energy Dumpster.

Wonder how the meeting with Governor Cuomo will go tomorrow?

[Newest Reality]

1. He needs...

He desperately needs to do makeshift campaign sermons for the base to assure that they don't wake up from the trance. It has to be reinforced.

[LakeArenal]

2. You mean a "faux" update from the WH

I’d welcome some truth.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. But His Lardship needs them.

He's like Tinker Bell - if people don't clap for him he dies.

[Talitha]

9. THIS!!!!

[procon]

4. They will stop the day he can convince one Republican

State to open up to large crowds. Trump will book an arena for a huge rally and be on AF one before his hair gel sets. The emails will go out to his most loyal cultists and he be back on stage whining, moaning, groaning and crying about being picked on by the mean kids.

5. you would think the media would learn that he isn't really a source of news

what's the news? that he lies?
old news.

that he exaggarates?
old news.

that he boasts?
old news.

that he blames others?
old news.

that he's stupid?
old news.

that he's a bigot, sexist, xenophobe, (fill in the blank)-hater?
old news.

the only "story" they get from him are some immaterial particulars that fit these well-established old stories.

not news.

there is no legitimate journalistic excuse to continue to reward him with so much free air time

[captain queeg]

6. Yes, I wish they'd just stop showing it at all. The free TV time for him is how we ended here.

[Thomas Hurt]

7. This was never about COVID updates...

[BigmanPigman]

8. He wanted his own daily radio show and saw that this avenue was even better.

He can't have his campaign rallies, but I bet he will soon enough. Good, they can go and infect each other and leave the rest of us alone...yeah, right. I wish very contagious viruses knew who to attack based on politics, but alas, they don't. Too bad for us rational Americans...we are screwed.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. what update!? never watched one.

[durablend]

11. He needs eyeballs and ratings

He feeds on it. You think the time of day is an accident?

[Turbineguy]

12. Trump knows that

but he's campaigning in the network's dime and they allow this without charge.

[spanone]

13. I'm quarantining myself from trump pressers

[Hoyt]

14. His updates aren't helping him. But if he stops now, he'll get bashed for that.

He can’t win, which is good and his doing.
