Where are the adults in the room? Certainly not in the press core.

Reporters, media, Democrats & progressives, all in unison, attack Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis at every turn. Just like everything else he does. Other than resign, is there really anything he can do to please them? No, of course, there is not.

Actually, all in the mainstream media are exercising tremendous stupidity in the face of this virus. You can see it in the briefing room every day. Have you listened to some of the questions these reporters are asking? They are the most childish, ignorant, immature questions you can imagine. If I didn’t know this was real I would assume it was a scene from a movie.

Stupid, mean questions and stupid, mean statements like:
‘when will we be back to normal ….‘
‘why was America not prepared … ‘
‘what is your reticence in delivering respirators ….‘
‘why do you call it the China Virus…‘
‘gap in what you are saying vs what we see on the ground …. ‘
‘how fast can you get this drug to America? …‘
‘but can you confirm that it will be safe…‘
‘is there a miracle drug…‘
‘you are giving people a false sense of hope…‘
‘some people say calling it the China virus is racist…‘ Come on folks, it all started in China and China made mistakes, by accident & on purpose. I heard the other day someone say, this is like telling a fireman trying to put out a burning building that ‘engine #4 is double parked and can you move it!’

Questions they asked a month ago or even yesterday. With a tone of disgust to go along with an attitude of disdain. They are asked and re-asked in an ongoing gotcha attempt. Analysis spun to blame Trump for dismantling the historic work the Obama Administration did to prepare for such an emergency. Which of course, is false.

You have to a be a nut or someone without experience in managing difficult and/or complex projects to criticize this President and his team’s actions against Coronavirus.

If you do have such experience, or just a speck of common sense, you recognize what is happening and how tremendous the progress is.

The system Trump inherited was bloated and filled with the failures of Ebola and H1N1 during his administration. Trump said he had to ‘break an egg’ and rebuild it. He had to ramp up to the levels needed in almost every area. The speed with which he has made decisions, gotten every level of society to work together, manufactured and gotten out respirators and test kits, sped up development of vaccines, etc, etc, is amazing. We only wait now to see what effect it has all had.

The adults in the room … are on the President’s team! But they blame him for even having a team. After they blamed him for 3 years for supposedly not listening to the smart people. Obviously he does. Come on guys, so you really think we are so dumb not to realize that. Gaslighting extraordinaire.

Yet the media will not stop there attacks. And here is one of the most transparent.

There is so much in just one little statement by the media. This time it just shouts out from the CNN headline, Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times.

‘unsubstantiated hope‘.

Hope, is now unsubstantiated at CNN. Hypocrisy, simple mindedness, fear & panic permeate this statement. Hypocrisy, because through this crisis they were asking why the President was not providing calm, decisive leadership for the nation. Yet when he does they ignore it, or in this case attack the ‘hope’ he is trying to create. And, they want us to think they are the calm, realistic, intelligent people required to handle such situations. This headline, however, illustrates they are none of these and more importantly lack judgement, reality and faith.

Everything you see & hear in the future from the media, social media, the Democrats and the talking heads about President Trump can be filed under this headline – Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope … Here are a few of the weaponized attacks for that file from the past couple of days by CNN media personality, Chris Cuomo.
