We had very successful briefings. I was doing them and we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching. In the history of cable television there's never been anything like it. And we were doing very well. ... [A] lot of positive things were happening. ... So, I think what we're going to do is, I'll get involved and we'll start doing briefings ... probably tomorrow, and I'll do briefings. ... I'll do it at five o'clock like we were doing. We had a good slot and a lot of people were watching ... I'll be discussing the, as I call it, the China virus, the China plague, I'll be discussing it, and I'll also be discussing perhaps some other things. But, we're doing very well in so many different ways ... I think we're going to get it solved in numerous ways ...

Normal Concerns, As Tens Of Thousands Die
Because the “Ratings” of my News Conferences etc. are so high, “Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers” according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY. “Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him.” said one lunatic. See you at 5:00 P.M.!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2020
The Radical Left Democrats have gone absolutely crazy that I am doing daily Presidential News Conferences. They actually want me to STOP! They used to complain that I am not doing enough of them, now they complain that I “shouldn’t be allowed to do them.” They tried to shame.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
...the Fake News Media into not covering them, but that effort failed because the ratings are through the roof according to, of all sources, the Failing New York Times, “Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale” type numbers (& sadly, they get it $FREE). Trump Derangement Syndrome!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
The Wall Street Journal always “forgets” to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are “through the roof” (Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale, according to @nytimes) & is only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views across. WSJ is Fake News!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 9, 2020
Because the T.V. Ratings for the White House News Conference’s are the highest, the Opposition Party (Lamestream Media), the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats &, of course, the few remaining RINO’S, are doing everything in their power to disparage & end them. The People’s Voice!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 10, 2020
***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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 25, 2020

Here is Kayleigh McEnany claiming Trump is tested for coronavirus "multiple times a day" pic.twitter.com/2C4txzyBGA— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 21, 2020
What would even be the point of multiple tests per day? Daily testing, fine if a little excessive. But multiple times a day? Nonsensical.— minnesorta (@minnesorta) July 21, 2020

Here is Trump last night not wearing a mask at his DC hotel fundraiser just hours after posting that wearing a mask is "patriotic."

Look! He's Got A "New Tone" ... Again!

How many times do outlets have to get burned by “Trump new tone” pieces before they figure it out? https://t.co/JbJEYwqGjI— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 21, 2020
And within 10 minutes of the press conference later he’ll tell a female reporter to “relax”.— YS (@NYinLA2121) July 21, 2020
Oh, please not this “new tone” again! At least please find a different descriptor for his faking of engagement or empathy. Thank you.— Vermonter (@runinvt) July 21, 2020
lol. Since 2015 ABC is regularly reporting on "Trump's new tone". pic.twitter.com/MKPJHyVFf8— Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) July 21, 2020
It’s a new tone! But it’s identical to the old tone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯— Michael (Black Lives Matter) (@mjchamplin) July 21, 2020

Ghislaine Maxwell is an alleged sex trafficker and an alleged serial sexual abuser and rapist of minor girls.— Leah McElrath 🏳️🌈 (@leahmcelrath) July 21, 2020
When asked about her, now that she has been arrested and is in custody?
Trump replies:
“I just wish her well frankly.”

is the mainstream media so intent on normalizing Trump that they insist on the "new tone" and don't headline his acknowledgement that he had NUMEROUS meetings with the alleged co-head of a child sex ring. This is complete media fail.— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) July 21, 2020

Also, no questions about Trump cutting CDC funding for testing to $0 or his terrorist gangs of secret police grabbing citizens off the streets, etc. ...

Not one question.

!!My colleague Mike saw @RepTedYoho accost @RepAOC at Capitol today for her suggestion poverty & unemployment are driving NYC spike in crime amid COVID.— Olivia Beavers (@Olivia_Beavers) July 21, 2020
Yoho: "You are out of your freaking mind."
AOC told Yoho he was being "rude."
Then parting ways, Yoho said: "F*cking bitch."
In an exchange reported by @RealMikeLillis, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla) told @AOC she was "disgusting" for suggesting poverty/unemployment driving a spike in crime in NYC.— Katie Bo Williams (@KatieBoWill) July 21, 2020
They parted. "Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular."
'Fucking bitch.'" https://t.co/bVOWzstguL
I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 21, 2020
Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.
But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/WlG3xccwR7
Gotta love Republican courage from Rep @RogerWilliamsTX: when he undeniably sees another man engaged in virulent harassment of a young woman, just pretend you never saw it in the most cartoonish manner possible and keep pushing.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 21, 2020
(He’s lying, by the way. He joined in w/ Yoho) https://t.co/TAjvXBdd9u
What’s wild to me @RogerWilliamsTX is why would you blatantly lie to a reporter who saw this exchange?— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 21, 2020
You were yelling at me too, about “throwing urine.”
Like @aoc, I believe poverty to be a root cause of crime. Wonder why Rep. Yoho hasn’t accosted me on the Capitol steps with the same sentiment? #shameful https://t.co/f5qkC3CbTR— Rep. Dean Phillips (@RepDeanPhillips) July 21, 2020
