White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany portrayed President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 press briefings, which have consisted of him preemptively trying to delegitimize his potential defeat in the November elections and endorsing doctors who believe alien DNA is being used to make medicine, as a success story on Monday night.
“I don’t think the President needs the media,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said of Trump, who whines about the media’s coverage of him on the regular. “And I think the minute that he’s gone, they’re out of business.”
“That’s exactly right,” McEnany replied. “If you look at his ratings at these coronavirus press briefings, the American people tune in because they want to hear from the President unfiltered.”
She praised Trump’s performances at the briefings, saying “it’s him at his best.”
“The American people recognize it,” McEnany added.
During the press briefings, Trump has provided little to no specific information on how his administration will curb the escalating number of COVID-19 cases in multiple states, insisting instead that the pandemic is under control and that schools ought to reopen.

This woman is smart, yet has chosen to sell her soul to the devil. For what?
I recall high TV ratings for coverage of the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War and when a tornado moves through any area of the country.
Ms. McEnany, ratings don’t mean success, more like rubbernecking at a car crash.
Ignoring the fact that if you don’t have cable you are SOL
None of the local stations (Including the Fox affiliate)in the Orlando area carry it or since the first one , even mention it
We go looking for it because , Car Wreck
Put him up against Mama June or Naked and Afraid and see how he does…
Always bragging about TV ratings…
Very very sick F*cks!
Meanwhile…another Fed Reserve official recommends another US lockdown to save the economy!
Hear that Morons Are Governing America?
