Instead of fixating, still, on his TV ratings as U.S. deaths race past 42,000, Trump should be listening to scientists, providing resources for state and local governments, and deploying a comprehensive federal strategy for #TestingTestingTesting.

A man who spent his entire lifetime preparing for this pandemic is fired for not promoting a scam cure that killed vets. America is even farther from a vaccine because of Trump’s dumb political decision.

Trump has put almost all responsibility for dealing with #COVID19 on the states. So instead of airing Trump's briefing everyday, why don't @CNN and @MSNBC air segments of the various GOVERNORS' daily press briefings? Who cares what the guy who takes no responsibility says?
