"SNIP.....

“President Trump on Monday said he will resume giving regular coronavirus briefings this week, reviving a practice that is controversial among some aides as infections surge across the United States,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “I was doing them and we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching in the history of cable television, and there’s never been anything like it.”

The first one will be tomorrow at 5 p.m. ET.

He just has to call them "coronavirus briefings" to give the media a reason to show up.

I hope the press nails his ass to the cross of truth if he lets any real press attend.

VP Biden's team should demand equal time.
