When the White House coronavirus briefings resume, President Trump should not take the podium.

Every time he takes the podium he’s a threat to public health.

1. True.

Yet the skinny is that the new briefings will feature nobody BUT Trump—no doctors (or, so I read here earlier today). If Trump doesn’t talk, who will?

2. Yeah I posted that, but I think it said "might not"

Maybe it’s a trial balloon to see reaction? Maybe it’s to drum up ratings? Idk.

3. Thanks for the clarification.

We shall see what we see, I suppose.

7. Looks like it was raw story's interpretation, maybe

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

4. Yes but that is the point of having them. He will use the time for what he wants.

5. Sorry, Senator Schumer but I disagree

Trump should absolutely hold the briefings by himself. They will be epic sessions.

Consider that every time Trump makes public statements, they're either wrong, lies or mis-directions that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. When he does these things, it provides more examples for us to ridicule and diminish Trump. Plus. it's comedy gold!

Besides, when Trump is left to his own devices, he inevitably runs right of the rails. What better way to show the country that he's not fit to be president?

10. Agreed. Joe can continue his plan

and just basically lay low. Trump has no idea how bad these are for him and no one is willing to tell him.

More rope and a bigger shovel.

6. These "briefings" will be nothing more than publicly-funded campaign rallies, allowing Trump to

incoherently riff on Biden, BLM, Antifa, fake news, confederate monuments, phony COVID numbers, kneeling sports figures, attack all his perceived enemies and pretty much say anything else that pops into his diseased brain. He knows the media will yet again breathlessly cover his daily shitshow, so why wouldn't Trump take center stage?

8. The media should NOT cover his briefings, if he is the only speaker.

It's already proved that he lies, prevaricates, rants on disconnected topics. I will not be watching.

[underpants]

11. Oh hell no.

Full coverage everywhere. These things are disastrous for him.

9. Let him rant. But don't carry it live.
