Pressed on his reported coronavirus comments during an afternoon event in the Diplomatic Room of the White House, the president said: "You cannot show a sense of panic."
It follows an earlier defense of Trump from White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who said Wednesday: When you are facing insurmountable challenges, it is important to express confidence, it is important to express calm.
He makes clear that he doesnt want to see chaos, by the way, which is the second part of the quote which you failed to read, she continued, addressing a reporter who had read part of the quote. typical condescending (from the gutter) grandstanding BS
The president just days after having this discussion with Bob Woodward, said this from this podium, on March 30, he said, I do want them to stay calm, we are doing a great job, if you look at the individual statements they are all true, stay calm, it will go away but it's important to stay calm, the press secretary said. So this president does what leaders do -- good leaders -- its stay calm and resolute at a time when you face an insurmountable challenge.

Has he ever stayed calm and resolute about anything? Have these people seen his twitter account? He's running out of exclamation points and capital letters.

As much as I understand The horse race aspect of the media, it sure seems like this is an all out frontal assault. Everyone knows exactly disastrous hes been and that it likely will get much worse in a second term. Fox has even been slow to respond and really not that forceful. I understand that this is a withering attack.
