Trump airs video montage of officials praising his coronavirus response during press conference – By Zachary Halaschak (Washington Examiner) / April 13 2020
President Trump began a White House press conference by showing a video montage with clips of officials praising his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The video, which was shown at Trump’s Monday press conference, began with the words, “The media minimized the risk from the start.” It then showed clips of some in the media and their cable news guests saying that the coronavirus was not likely to reach the scale it has.
The foogate then transitioned into a timeline of the coronavirus pandemic and various moves Trump and his administration took to combat the spread, including stopping travel from China and Europe. It also showed various governors praising the White House’s response to the virus.
