Sunday, Dear Leader crowed — make that tweeted — that the TV ratings for his daily coronacrisis press briefings are the best anyone has ever seen. Monday Night Football! The Bachelor finale! The Kennedy assassination!
U.S. media complained after the White House quit offering press briefings a little over a year ago; now that Trump himself comes to the podium day after day to spout self-serving nonsense leavened with the occasional scrap of factual information, the media have begun to ask the administration to go back to its cone of silence.
The daily press briefing has taken the place of the Trump campaign rally. He misses the adulation of the red-hatted throng, to be sure; but the State Media over at Fox, America One, and Sinclair Broadcasting do their part to reassure the Trump Loyalists that their overlord and savior is in charge of the situation and everything is under control. And that he has masterfully put down the wicked scheming of the Fake News and the Chinese and the George Soros.
By the way, Monday Night Football ain't all that big a deal any more. Monday Night Football is there for when the NFL lets the Bengals, Raiders or Jets sleep in on Sunday morning.
