Hi everyone I will be live tweeting the presidents press briefing today! #coronavirus

so far Trump has said the New York Times is a fake paper that deals in fake stories and facts.

Currently they are playing a video about how the media downplayed the effect of the coronavirus- playing clips mostly from Fox News

Now the video being played by the president is saying that governors weren’t as responsive as the president has been to coronavirus

Trump says he has 100s of clips from governors thanking him for assistance during this pandemic

Trump is saying that states don’t need as much help as they are calling for- he says they don’t need anymore hospitals or ventilators and the ones that have been given haven’t been used.

Trump is back to talking about “phony stories” from the media that aren’t focusing on the essential workers or great people working hard during this time

Trump just insinuated that the press have been listening in to calls taking place between the governors and the white house

One reporter just called out Trump for the video he played for being closer to a campaign ad than news relevant to this situation. Trump’s response? it was a correction to fake news going around

Might I just remind anyone following this thread almost every clip Trump played was from Fox News. Trump says the video was to “keep media honest”

Trump says they have 10,000 ventilators “ready to rock” if need be.

Currently reporters are questioning why Trump would retweet something about firing Fauci and Trump said it’s only someone’s opinion and I don’t agree
