Wall Street Journal rips Trump’s ‘ outbursts

[floridafan]

The conservative Wall Street Journal urged readers to tune out President Donald Trump’s daily coronavirus briefings.

The newspaper’s editorial board published a column Wednesday evening lamenting that Trump had turned those news conferences into an airing of grievances instead of useful updates on the public health crisis.

“The briefings began as a good idea to educate the public about the dangers of the virus, how Americans should change their behavior, and what the government is doing to combat it,” the column began. “They showed seriousness of purpose, action to mobilize public and private resources, and a sense of optimism. Mr. Trump benefitted in the polls not because he was the center of attention but because he showed he had put together a team of experts working to overcome a national health crisis.”

Eventually the president concluded the briefings put the spotlight on him, and he began using them as a substitute for the freewheeling campaign rallies he can’t hold during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Perhaps he resented the media adulation that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been receiving for his daily show,” the column says. “Whatever the reason, the briefings are now all about the President.

Trump has turned the dally briefings into Trump rallies. He saw a way to get election advantages and he ran with it. He dominates all of them with his bluster, insults, and bullying. The lies are frequent and threaded through his meandering talks. There is no president that would act like this until Trump came along. He is absolutely not dignified, presidential and diplomatic. He embarrasses us all.
This is a groundhog day of Festivuses. and grievances. Day after day insulting and saying incredible and great a hundred times. Many thought Trump was not too bright and certainly not dignified. He chose to prove it over and over.
