Reminder: Trump oversaw the worst economic downturn in nearly a century.

This is not a news conference today Trump is holding.

It is a taxpayer-paid campaign event.
Trump again insisting #COVID19 #vaccines coming "very soon," despite #pharma #biotech expecting to pledge they will not submit applications to #FDA unless data are sufficient.

Trump has NOT seen the data. He has NO access to it.
Nearly 190,000 Americans are dead from #COVID19.

That's dead forever.

This is not a news conference.

Taxpayers are paying for this campaign event where Trump is bashing his political opponent.

@whca, reporters should get up & leave! They are sitting as participants in this taxpayer-paid political event.
Right, all over the world, nobody has done what the U.S. has been able to do: 190,000 dead in the U.S.

Nobody has topped at number yet.

#COVID19 #vaccines
Reporters need to interrupt. This is not a news conference.

They need to get up and walk out.

This is campaign event being paid for by taxpayers.

@whca, it is wrong for reporters to participate.
Trump now bashing the press.

Reporters, get up and leave.

This is not a news conference.

@whca, shut it down.
Trump now demanding news reporter take off his mask.

#COVID19 #MaskUp #masks
Trump now bashing @SenJohnMcCain & then praises himself over McCain's funeral.
Soup.
Trump doesn't mention #KyleRittenhouse.
Reminder on Trump & his deals: His refusal to make a deal led to the longest #governmentshutdown in history.
When will reporters interrupt & demand proof from Trump on his false claims?
Reporters should be interrupting when Trump claims there's been no evidence of wrongdoing.

There is evidence. The #MuellerReport was not a vindication. Trump was impeached.

But reporters sit silently by while Trump makes false claims.
Again, Zach Fuentes. propublica.org/article/the-fe…
Trump again claiming there will be a #COVID19 vaccine.

He says he spoke with , .

"Maybe going to have it before a very special date -- you know what date I'm talking about."

Then he claims #FDA knows it's going good.

Trump has NO access to data. None!
.@KamalaHarris said she would not trust Trump's word on #COVID19 #vaccines.

But Harris said would trust scientists on the vaccines.
Trump claims his claims about having #COVID19 #vaccines are not political.

Again, Trump has NO access to data. None.
Again, this is not a news conference.

This is a taxpayer-paid political event and reporters shouldn't have participated today.
But the clickbait headlines that will come from this taxpayer-paid political event today ...
And news organizations wonder why Americans don't trust us any longer.

It was a taxpayer-paid political event.

And news reporters participated in it.
Remember when news reporters like Helen Thomas and Sam Donaldson used to actually interrupt & demand evidence of a president's claims? washingtonpost.com/history/2018/1…

"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

#Ukraine #Russia #Putin
"American diplomacy matters."

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

#Ukraine #Russia #Putin
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."

On #FaceTheNation, Trump's #WarpSpeed chief Moncef Slaoui now trying to claim credit for @POTUS @JoeBiden's success w/ #COVID19vaccinations.

Reminder: Trump wanted much lower $$ for #vaccines R&D. Congress went higher with $8.3B/rejected Trump's $2.5B.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…
Another reminder: Trump had no idea #NIH & $MRNA had started on a #COVID19 vaccine in mid-January 2020 based on research funded by the @BarackObama administration.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…

Trump himself claims he first heard of #coronavirus in late January.

#FaceTheNation #FTN
Also, NIH & U.S. companies were long into #COVID19 #vaccines R&D before Moncef Slaoui came on the scene with Operation #WarpSpeed.

Slaoui doing a lot of rewriting of history on #FaceTheNation today.

.@VP @KamalaHarris notes trip to #Georgia was supposed to be about #AmericanRescuePlan. But then, Asian-Americans were attacked/8 people killed.

"And we were reminded yet again that the crises we face are many that the photos we face are many."

"#Racism is real in America."
.@VP @KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.

#Georgia #racism
.@VP @KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.

The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.

#Georgia #racism
