Aren't his approval ratings higher since the pandemic?

The team behind him really is genius, and you have to say he himself on how he handles the media.

He knows he'd only done one good thing in the lead up to the crisis, which was ban travel to and from China at the same time as other major countries, and he continues to milk that point to everyone so people forget the absolute shite he had done other than that, including calling the disease a hoax multiple times.

Doesn't help that Biden has acted like a clown and is an easy target for Trump. I think Trump is winning this more comfortably than in 2016.
There was an initial ‘wartime‘ bump, but they’re going the other direction now.

Neither side is winning this comfortably, unless things get so bad in Florida with their unemployment crisis that they turn against their GOP leadership and it turns blue.

From clips I've seen of Biden I'm afraid he could at any point and regardless of any edge he might have, end his chances with a "moment" on live TV.

I really can't believe that he is so idiotic and ignorant. I mean we are talking about the president of the USA. Not a banana republic somewhere.
Surely his cabinet should set him aside and appoint Pence at least till the elections.

They are scared stiff of Trump's base.

I think the US Constitution allows an ex number of the cabinet to declare that he is not fit anymore. None of the cabinet is going to run for an election and even if they ran, they would not win. So better take one for the country just like Captain Brett Cozier took one for America.

Quite looking forward to tonight’s briefing as I am sure the reporters will be gunning for him now on this whole Coronavirus situation. Surely only a matter of time before he totally cracks up on stage and uses b**ch, s**g or wh**e to a female journalist And to be fair it wouldn’t actually surprise people if he did.

As somebody said earlier if you could go back 5 years and look at a clip of todays news you wouldn’t be able to comprehend how bad it is getting. Think only nuclear holocaust could top it and the bloke could have almost 5 years to do it.

especially when the mutineers need so much from the Captain.
What a callous line that is, in the current circumstances. Banter when lives are at stake.

Apparently the reason for an outside briefing is so they can take the mic away from reporters and not be heard on tv ala last night

I hate this prick so much. Trying to put all the blame on the WHO. Someone needs to just openly tell him to shut his fat fecking mouth. Goddamn coward.

If you'd played that clip from yesterday to me 5 years ago, I would only have believed it was from a film. Or that it was the last time a President spoke in their official capacity, obviously having to step down that evening.

The bar hasn't so much been lowered as buried 6 feet underground.
Imagine hate talk radio and TV today if Obama went on like that. You'd have Fatty Magoo and ilk calling for a public resistance.

Not a fan of Trump but I do enjoy the fact he is calling out the WHO. Regardless of whether he is doing it to deflect from his own administrations mistakes/failures to deal with the virus, I do believe that pressure has to be put on WHO.

This is weird, is this an Oscars acceptance speech?

Its like someone's handed him a list of the Fortune 500, in the hope that it eats up time where he'd otherwise driving the US to civil war.
