HOLY SHIT! First Fauci has to "clarify" his statement that earlier mitigation by Trump admin would have saved lives.

OMG He just played a campaign ad—showing FoxNews Hannity clips during the briefing on "Wuhan virus," railing against Joe Biden & Pelosi for calling him a racist.

ANGRY TRUMP TURNS BRIEFING INTO PROPAGANDA SESSION—the headline of every Trump show tbh

No one can be shocked Trump just exploited free media for a literal campaign ad. That's all he does!! His only skill is bullshit.

ANGRY TRUMP USES PROPAGANDA VIDEO, PRODUCED BY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE

TRUMP ATTACKS MEDIA AFTER SERIES OF REPORTS HE IGNORED WARNINGS AS VIRUS SPREAD

@CNN doing a good job on chyrons. But propaganda invades minds like a virus. Better to preempt than mitigate

This is just bonkers. Reporters are now explaining the Constitution to the propagandist/imbecile in chief… After Trump repeatedly states that the president of the United States has absolute authority to do anything—even tell governors when to open their states.

Reporter: Who told you that you have total authority over governors opening up economy?

Trump: They didn’t have to tell me. I just do.

Reporter: But you don’t have that authority. (Because uh federalism)

Trump: Enough!!

Another @CNN chyron for the history books (should we survive this insanity & the virus)
