Like so many Americans, President Donald Trump appears to have grown weary of a frequently hostile media constantly jousting with him, playing a game of “gotcha” in the face of an unprecedented national emergency.
The Chinese virus COVID-19 has now been fully weaponized by the same cabal that tried to use the Ukraine controversy and the Russian collusion hoax to destroy Trump, as the narrative has shifted away from a lack of tests and is now focused on an alleged shortage of medical equipment to treat those infected with coronavirus.
At Sunday’s News briefing, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor asked the president about a comment he made last week on Fox News’ “Hannity” about the request for equipment.
Trump quickly shut Alcindor down, holding the reporter up as an example of why so many people distrust the media.
