Trump, at start of briefing: "We'll put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We'll put a very powerful hold on it."

Trump ten minutes later, after he's asked if a pandemic is a good time to freeze funding to the WHO: "I'm not saying we're going to do it."
When a reporter pointed out to Trump that he did, in fact, say he's going to freeze funding to the WHO, Trump responded, "No I didn't."

He has also lied at least two dozen times about how he "closed down" travel from China. That didn't happen, but the lie went unchallenged.
These aren't briefings, they're just two hours of propaganda on live TV, where the President makes absurd, fact-free claims about his greatness that make Kim Jong Un's claims about his own leadership sound modest in comparison.
A reporter tries to ask Trump about states being unable to accurately determine covid-19 death totals due to lack of testing.

This isn't journalism, though. It's just giving Trump the opportunity to lie to millions of Americans and tell them this isn't happening, when it is.
