I am just now catching up on the president’s press conference about the coronavirus. Jesus Mary and Joseph, he is really an unhinged and aggressively stupid person.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 27, 2020
I love those parts of every PC when he brags about discovering something that every kid who paid attention in history class in fourth grade has known for decades.— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) February 27, 2020
It’s still amazing to see how a rambling, semi coherent and contradictory presser from Trump gets repackaged into headlines, stories and tv clips that turn him into a normal President.— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) February 27, 2020
I feel like “Trump Assigns Pence Coronavirus Response” or “Trump Open to Larger Supplemental,” while technically accurate, serve to mislead readers who didn’t see the tour de force of insanity that was that press conference. Journalists: It’s ok to describe things accurately.— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) February 27, 2020
So we may be seeing, for the first time, our ignorant, incompetent, narcissistic psychopath of a president deal with a real crisis not of his own making.— George Conway (@gtconway3d) February 27, 2020
