Or he’ll leave him in some far away place on zoom or something.

(17,641 posts)Trump only wants props, not actual science being spoken. Look, I think fauci is now just a dottering old fool trying to keep his job. But trump is evil, and he doesn't want even a hint of contradiction, so no fauci.
Brix seems to be his lapdog, so maybe he will let her be there.

I hope Dr. Fauci shows up to contradict Trump and Pence lies.
Trump is DESPERATE.

(18,313 posts)Mr. Meadows has for the most part opposed any briefings about the virus, while other Trump advisers, including Hope Hicks and Jared Kushner, have been open to holding briefings so long as they are not at the White House — where Mr. Trump could show up and commandeer them. Mr. Pence’s team would like to hold more briefings with the health experts, but some of Mr. Trump’s communications aides do not want the vice president to be part of them.

(2,659 posts)But he was wrong about COVID-19. Poll after poll suggests Americans are thirsting for national leadership to tackle this. He thinks by being visible on this again, he can turn around these polls. WE know this is all theatre and NOTHING of substance will be said or acted on. Major gaslighting will take place while everything burns to the ground. I’m hopeful Americans will see through this sham.

I never watched any of them but was wondering if he might be trying to hog airtime. Joy Reid's show begins tonight, and IIRC she'll have Joe and Hillary on.

(96,882 posts)...but the networks have learned to cut away or cancel coverage when the briefings turn into rants or stream or consciousness monologues.

(22,928 posts)If he holds the briefings he says idiotic things that make the situation worse. If he doesn’t he is hated for showing zero leadership. This is what happens when you let the idiots at the bottom of the gene pool pick an idiot to be president.
