White House' response to petition to stop airing press conferences:

In a statement sent to Newsweek, White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere dismissed the petition, saying "the American people should not be surprised that a radical far-left organization like MoveOn.org that claims to promote equality and openness would rather not see this Administration provide accurate, up-to-date information on COVID-19 to the country."

"Providing the public with as much information as possible right now is paramount and during these uncertain times, it is important that Americans hear from their President and top health experts," Deere said.

but the reason for the petition, which I signed and shared elsewhere, is because Trumpy is doing his usual shtick. It's all about him. He rants about the fucking ratings, for crying out loud!

He should just shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.

This is a slow rolling nightmare that could have been over already of this idiot had any clue how to actually lead anything more than an underage girl to a bedroom or his urine stream

If the administration was providing accurate, up-to-date information, nobody would have a problem with Trump's daily bragfests. But that's not what we're getting, is it? We get a lot of pissing and moaning about unfairness, quack medical advice, soft-peddling legitimate concerns, slow-walking half measures, and insulting reporters asking pertinent questions.
