We can’t make this up.
The return of President Trump’ reality TV-style press conferences included offering well wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of being an accomplice to the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.
“I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump during his first press conference since April that was billed as an update from the administration on the coronavirus pandemic.
The President added that he met Maxwell “numerous times over the years” especially when they both lived in Palm Beach.
Last week, a federal judge denied bail to Maxwell after she pleaded not guilty to sex crime and perjury charges. Prosecutors allege Maxwell helped Epstein in the mid-1990s recruit young girls in an operation that forced them into engaging in sexual acts. Maxwell’s trial is scheduled to begin in July 2021.
Trump’s kind words for Maxwell came amid a press conference where he once again insisted that the coronavirus will “disappear” someday and expressed his newfound advocacy for mask-wearing after months of shunning the simple but effective face coverings.

It’s the first one in months, he’s probably anxiously chomping at the bit. So maybe only 30 on the over/under for today’s late start?
Without Fauci, it’s not a coronavirus briefing, it’s a
campaignklan rally. I honestly have no idea what he thinks he’s accomplishing. Since Trump’s Razor is “it’s always the stupidest explanation,” I think it’s just that he’s missing having these rallies as the cult members are not willing to sacrifice themselves in large numbers, and this is the best he can do. I hope the press catches on and doesn’t just give him the platform, but my expectations are low.All members of the press will be served a bleach cocktail to kick of this hughly historic event.
Yep. If CNN/MSNBC were smart, they wouldn’t show them live, but do a lowlight reel at the end.
So of course it’ll be wall to wall coverage of the Festivus airings of grievances and 100% lies.
And Fauci just said he was not invited to speak and assumes up to this point, he won’t be there. Mic is on And the shit show should start soon. I can hear Trump in the background. It’s on. Buckle up.
