Did Trump actually say this in his latest Coronavirus update?

The only way that will EVER happen is if people STOP TUNING IN.
Over the air antenna reception can't send data, but cable and satellite boxes DO.
So if your cable or sat is tuned to a Trump briefing, that media outlet knows you're tuned to it, and that translates to RATINGS and RATINGS translates to MONEY.

A massive boycott of all Trump briefings in real time will almost immediately signal to the media that Americans do not want to watch the President.
And you will see the continual daily broadcasts cease very quickly.

And without the fear mongering, people might just forget that there's an outbreak, go about business as usual, the economy will get fired back up.

Neh! Y'all can't let that **** happen. :lamo

Been doing it for weeks. Also sent message to both CNN and MSNBC requesting they stop showing this crap. Who knows if it was even read. We gotta start somewhere. These briefings are not only a waste of time, they're dangerous to your health.

Trump has been lying to wives, mistresses, vendors and banks since the 1980s. a person would have to be an idiot to believe anything he says until someone else proves it true.

But I do understand the need to believe him.

You guys just get so riled up over everything Trump says. Yes, he said something similar to that but as usual lefties are blowing it way up out of proportion. Just as he said we should be back in business by Easter, he did say that he would like sports to start up as soon as possible and that the NFL season should start on time. The NFL season doesn't even start until September for libs that have no clue about sports. Just because Trump would "like" to see us get back to normal ASAP, that doesn't mean he has issued some kind of decree that it will happen by such and such date, screw what the health experts say. You guys really need to take something to calm you down. We'd all like to get back to normal as soon as possible.

This is one of the things I've learned to really appreciate about Trump. He speaks aspirationally, and he wields authority with reticence. He has outright stated that closures, lockdowns, and centralized control are antithetical to American values. I agree with that and I think it needed to be said by our president. Unlike some others, he seems to actually, sincerely want this to be over as soon as possible. I've been listening to his briefings, and he just kind of says what he thinks, which leads to a lot of stupid and careless statements but also some insight into a rational and optimistic thought process.
 
He's very childlike. As the adults say that we should stay at home, Trump is like, " jeez, I wish we could go out and play."

The nation would be better served if he skipped the meetings altogether,

I know this is too much to ask for, but I think even news outlets have to eventually consider a "for the welfare of the good" factor. News outlets are supposed to report the news, but they're also staffed by ****ing human beings, and Trump's disinformation is killing people.

People like Trump and want to hear what he has to say.

People voted for him.

Americans voted for him.

Americans who watch television voted for him.

Americans who watch television and voted for him want to hear what he has to say.

NBC and CNN don't own their viewers; they serve them.

Trump said he is going to hand out supplies based on how nice governors are to him. Basically, if a governor is not nice to him, he's going to let thousands of people in your state die. That right there is as impeachable offense as anything that corrupt dick has ever done.

"rational and optimistic thought process"....LOL. Yeah, buddy. Sure. Is that why he constantly cries like a little bitch about how the media is picking on him? Thousands of Americans are dying, and all this stupid mother ****er can do is wallow in self-pity. What a disgrace. The United States will be lucky to survive this man.

Watch the briefings. Almost all the messages we receive -- left and right -- are filtered. Study the filters so you can recognize what they're leaving out, and try to get your information directly from the source when possible.

What in God's name are you talking about? Trump's briefings are uninformative and stupid. He should keep his stupid fat ass off the stage.

If you want to see a good briefing, watch Gov Cuomo. He actually provides relevant facts and statistics. Trump is just a rambling imbecile, wallowing in self-pity.

Gov Cuomo is a real leader, he should be our President. Trump is a ****ing joke.

During the briefing, he said the owner of a small restaurant of 36+/- seats. Don said he told him that with the 6' rule he could only seat 18+/-. Cry me a river, we're in a war Goddamn it, act like it. He refuses to take charge and continues to lead from the rear....

LAFFRIOT- The OP was completely blown to smithereens in the very next post by moderate right. Then you obliviously followed up with one your rain man " Orange man Bad" posts. Kind of embarassing,really.

So you're saying that all Americans are stupid and need to be told what to do by the president? How does that work when we have the governor of New York and the mayor of New York City telling people to go on business as usual?

Damn I wish you guys would stop with that stupid juvenile ploy. No, that's not what I said, you know that's not what I said. You just go right ahead and keep making up crap and pretending I said it because the crap you make up is such stupid bull**** even the likes of you can argue against it.

I take that as an admission the op was BS.
