I watch a decent chunk of most of the briefings though, and when Trump is off script or taking questions, it's just a shit show.

I was watching with my mom the other day, and she would roll over in a fit of laughter ever time he said "ChHinA."

I prefer the method of diluting blood with a sufficient amount of alcohol (60% is it?). Someone should slip this idea to Trump, maybe he'll make booze free in the next trillion dollar stimulus bill.

Stills are the new ventilators!

Trump is truly horrible in a press briefing environment, obviously moreso when he goes off script. If he'd just accept that he doesn't know everything, and that's fine, he'd be alright -- but he's hellbent on proving that he knows more about the virus then the experts. Not sure what he thinks is to gain from doing so. Defer to the experts and stay on script and you'll be fine.

In Dems news, Joe Biden is having trouble picking a VP candidate: He doesn't know how progressive his African American VP should be (actual notification I got on my phone) - https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/28/biden-vice-president-2020-elections-212555 - I'll try to find a screen of that notification though.
