Trump’s Failed Leadership On Full Display At Coronavirus Briefing

During last night’s briefing, Trump continued to spread misinformation, he complained about his poll numbers, he doubled down on unproven and potentially dangerous coronavirus treatments, and even defended a doctor who claimed diseases are caused by demon sex. Trump made it clear there is no “new tone,” just the same failed leadership.

The White House brought back Trump’s coronavirus briefings to show his leadership against the virus. No surprise, but it’s not working out.

CNN: “After largely ignoring the pandemic for weeks and denying its severity, the White House revived the briefings last week to demonstrate presidential leadership. But the approach has hit early stumbling blocks.”

The headlines from last night’s briefing make it clear that Trump is still failing to lead in response to this virus and he is not going to change.
