Media’s Latest Strategy To Fight Trump: Remove Him From His Press Conferences
Instead, the journalists highlight that Trump s job approval has ticked down a bit. That s true, and is due not to the president spending too much time at his press conferences, but at frustration that he s following the media s lead in focusing on the serious public health crisis at the expense of the traumatic costs of the shutdown. Those who virulently loathe him, such as those in the media, would not give Trump positive ratings even if their lives depended upon it. Others support him seemingly no matter what he does. But those outside those extremes are able to balance competing thoughts. They can approve of virus suppression attempts while not thinking it should go on perpetually, as the media are pushing for. They can support initial efforts while getting annoyed and losing patience with Trump bending the knee to Coronavirus concerns at the expense of all other concerns.
