‘Lamestream Media Asks Nothing But Hostile Questions’,Trump Says Daily Briefing Not Worth His Time

President Donald Trump has described the media in the country as lamestream, saying they are asking nothing but hostile questions,

The President has, therefore, said his daily briefing was not worth his “time or effort”. Trump has been addressing the media on the daily process his administration has been taking to curtail the spread of the dreaded virus. The US will soon cross the one million mark with over 950,000 cases already confirmed and over 52,000 people dead.

He took to his Twitter page on Saturday to blame after he was heavily criticised for suggesting at Thursday’s White House news conference that disinfectant could potentially be used as a treatment for the virus. His remarks have been condemned as dangerous by doctors and manufacturers, as disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.

“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!,” he tweeted.

He had already said that he didn’t mean what he said that he was just being sarcastic about it. Due to this calls in New York City on the hotline for exposure to certain household chemicals more than doubled 8 hours after Trump’s remarks. There were 30 cases compared to 13 for the same time frame last year.

Usually, the briefings with Trump and the coronavirus task force run for over two hours. But Thursday’s performance caused embarrassment even among some of his supporters. It was gathered that he had been advised by his associates and allies not to hold the briefing anymore.

Trump also denied saying the pandemic was a hoax, clarifying that he was referring to the opposition- Democrats, and media.

“I never said the pandemic was a Hoax! Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax. They have been called out & embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!
