The US president spends hours of TV time to deliver insults, jokes and boasts instead of updates. FMTNews DonaldTrump Covid19

President Donald Trump speaks during a coronavirus task force briefing in the Rose Garden of the White House, Sunday, March 29, 2020, in Washington.

The usually bland Vice-President Mike Pence has won respect for his calm but unvarnished updates on the numbers of the sick and dead. However, many of those viewers must have included Americans simply hoping for information on the pandemic – a captive audience. When officials do get to the microphone, the first thing they do is give praise. This is just a recent smattering:“Another example of the bold leadership of President Trump.”Things aren’t quite so ardent between Trump and the journalists.

Trump even lashed out at the Fox News correspondent for asking a tough question, apparently wondering why the reporter was not throwing softballs, as the network’s overtly pro-Trump hosts do.Whether Trump truly loathes journalists is a matter of speculation.
