Return of Coronavirus Task Force briefings may not feature Birx or Fauci -- just Trump: report

“ Officials are hoping to prep the president for shorter briefings,” the newspaper reported. “Many of the briefings are likely to feature just the president — a departure from previous events where public health officials also appeared, administration officials said.”

“The plan is for them to be the president and to keep them short and tight,” the official said.

Trump had previously argued the briefings were a waste of time.

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. They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!

And allow them to handle the virus responses and give them full control, they will worsen the damage being done , both with the health issues , and with the economic issues . These two have us heading for a trump depression now. If they refuse, watch trumps numbers continue to spiral downward out of control , which trump will fix some pollsters numbers claiming otherwise.

Birx may get to speak to show off her new scarf. Other than that they will be mini campaign rallies which the media should immediately cut away from and not cover.
