President Trump lashed out at the press during the White House coronavirus briefing on Monday, repeating his oft-used refrain that the media is “so fake” and then forcing the press to watch a campaign-style video defending his response to the outbreak. “I would love to be able to say that we have a very honest press … and I don’t mind being criticized, but not when they’re wrong,” Trump said. “Not when people have done such a great job.” He then played a roughly three-minute edited reel of cable news doctors downplaying the threat of the virus in January and Democratic governors thanking the president for offering federal assistance. The reel included an extended explanation — taken from the New York Times podcast The Daily — of the Times’ chief white house reporter Maggie Haberman relating that Trump’s decision to shut down flights from Chinalooked like it was the right call. “We could give you hundreds of clips like that … we didn’t want this to go on too long,” Trump said after playing the video, which he said was compiled in two hours by White House staffers, including Dan Scavino, a senior advisor. The video appeared to be a response, in part, to a New York Times article that said Trump was slow to react to his team’s recommendations about the pandemic. “So the story in the New York Times is a total fake, it’s a fake newspaper and they write fake stories. And someday, hopefully in five years when I’m not here, those papers are all going out of business because nobody’s going to read them,” Trump said. He continued to lambaste the press for not treating him right and insisted his team was “way ahead of schedule.” “Everything we did I was criticized because I was too early,” Trump said. ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jon Karl pressed Trump about whether he believed the administration had done everything right. “Governors should have had ventilators, they chose not to have them. We chose to get them ventilators. They got the ventilators,” Trump responded. ________ *A ONE TIME donation via PayPal would really help me out* *Please Support TFN* https://www.PayPal.me/TrumpFanNetwork https://www.Patreon.com/TheRealTFN *Cash App* - $TrumpFanNetwork Sign up @ the TFN mailing list *If we get deleted again, I can send you updates.* http://www.TFN.media Subscribe to the backup channel - https://www.Bitchute.com/TrumpFanNetwork ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWkRDiLUiHU
