Trump Walks Off and Refuses to Answer Questions after Calling for the Media to Apologize to Him at Coronavirus Presser

Donald Trump urged Americans not to hoard food on Sunday during a White House press conference that came just minutes after the Federal Reserve announced new steps to shield the American economy from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

“You don’t have to buy so much,” Trump said. “Take it easy. Relax.”

In brief remarks, Trump cautioned against panic buying and said that food supply chains remained intact. He noted that earlier in the day he had met with executives from consumer and grocery companies including Target, Campbell’s and Costco.

“They have asked me to say, ‘Could you buy a little but less please.’” Trump said. “I thought I would never hear that from a retailer.”

Trump then addressed the Google fiasco. On Friday Trump said Google was building a website that would help people determine if they needed testing. It turns out that was news to Google.

Then somehow, after I am guessing following a bunch of frenzied calls from the White House, Google announced they would build the site after all. Trump used that as a way to attack the media, and even went so far as hinting he deserved an apology.

Trump appeared at the podium where he slammed the media for “FAKE NEWS” even though they didn’t report fake news.

Remember that Trump is LYING.

Trump said the “head” of Google called him to apologize. Does any actually believe this?

What a nasty fucker:

Then then bounced from the press conference because he said he had to make some calls. He just didn’t want to stand there and not be the center of attention.
