The us president, Donald Trump is angry over the fact that many american media no longer cover his daily press conferences from The White House in their full length.
This writes the newspaper the New York Times.
And on the night of Thursday was the tv coverage of ‘today’s Trump’ certainly not more extensive – on the contrary.
Thus dropped both national television channels CNN and MSNBC for long periods of their direct transmission. This was due to the president instead of corona-cover decided to use large parts of the night’s press conference to talk about the situation along the mexican/u.s. border where the smuggling of drugs is still taking place.
President Trump admitted himself that the situation does not become worse under the current coronakrise. And it was clear, therefore, that both the attending journalists and hosts in the various studies was the priority.
“Donald Trump knows that he has a fixed daily audience. His daily press conferences has given his popularity a boost. And now he is attempting obviously to exploit the situation politically by talking about issues like the border wall between Mexico and the UNITED states. But it does nothing when the audience turn on to hear how it goes with coronavirussen in the UNITED states. Instead, they belong so, where the magnificent border wall is,” says CNN’s correspondent Jim Acosta.
“The left-wing trying to stop my tv-transmissions. I need, to push your broadcasters to bring our press briefing.”
that was the gist of it in a text message yesterday went out to millions of Trump voters.
But just as much is the point, according to MSNBC’s Ari Melber, when Donald Trump ‘forget, why is invited to the press conference’.
half-way along in the night a good two hours long press conference did not focus on coronakrisen.
And CNN’s Jim Acosta asked the difficult questions: How should the 25 million americans without health insurance to pay for treatment if they are hospitalized with Covid-19?
First spoke with vice president Mike Pence in a good seven minutes without answering the hard questions.
In a rare case of transparency, said Trump:
“Did you notice how Mike can talk for five minutes without answering the question. It is a fair question Jim (Acosta, ed.). And we talk about it at the moment.”
Many have suggested that the government again gives americans the opportunity to buy affordable insurance through the so-called Obamacare.
But yesterday, Trump-the government, that this will not be possible.
