Trump’s Virus Briefings Replace His Campaign Rallies

Margaret Sullivan: “More and more each day, President Trump is using his daily briefings as a substitute for the campaign rallies that have been forced into extinction by the spread of the novel coronavirus.”

“These White House sessions — ostensibly meant to give the public critical and truthful information about this frightening crisis — are in fact working against that end.”

“Rather, they have become a daily stage for Trump to play his greatest hits to captive audience members.”
