After an hourlong delay to this press briefing, President Donald Trump spent a minute or so Friday declaring churches and other houses of worship “essential places” and threatened to “override” governors if they don’t let those sites reopen (he does not have the power to do so). Trump did not deliver any public health message that would help Americans navigate life amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed more than 90,000 lives in the U.S.
He ran off immediately afterward without taking any questions, which almost certainly would have forced him to respond to a major study that found hydroxychloroquine, his miracle anti-COVID drug, actually led to more deaths among COVID-19 patients.

Discobot, make me a Bloody Mary.
Oh.
The lawyer for Tara Reade, the former Senate aide who has accused Joseph R. Biden Jr. of sexual assault, said Friday that he was no longer representing her, just two weeks after taking her on as a client.
Dammit. Words matter.
Perhaps the lead question should be about Trump’s sagging, flagging and limp poll numbers.
Just now at 538 he’s at 53.4% Disapprove / 43.0% Approve. That’s a 10.4% D-A spread. How do you like all the winning, Donnie? Such a rude and nasty question–by design!
It’s Friday. The death toll is around 95,000 people. It’s time for Trump to say stuff to rile people up and pull more wings off the national fly.
