Americans React in Horror and Shame Over Trump’s Humiliating ‘Press Conference’ That Turned Into a Campaign Rally

By

Donald Trump hosted what he called a “press conference” again at his club this afternoon, and just like yesterday, he invited a hundred or so of his buddies in from the golf club to watch his “performance.”

And it was a performance, there wasn’t a single substantive thing that happened at this show, other than perhaps the signing of an Executive Order, which people don’t even believe to be legal – a president trying to “order” the tax policies of the United States seems to be an obviously unconstitutional action.

Even with the signing of the bill, Trump offered the pens to the clubbies in attendance.

Trump humiliated the entire country by making a mockery out of what should have been a solemn occasion, a decision as to what to do as a nation to combat the COVID crisis. Instead, we heard people laughing and booing in the background throughout.

When a reporter asked about the constitutionality of the order, the question got drowned out in boos by the “clubees.” It was near peak Trump. When a reporter asked Trump why he kept taking credit for Obama’s “Veteran’s Choice” bill, Trump ended the press conference.

Americans are absolutely furious. We are being held hostage by a child in need of emotional feedback from sycophants. The true pity here is that most Americans won’t see the portion of the press conference that needed to be seen, the hooting and hollering, and Trump avoiding the harder questions. The networks have been doing Trump a favor in killing the press conferences before questions get asked.

A lot of anger burst out on Twitter:

And this was quite the sight, Trump running away when confronted with facts:

And here’s a little fact-checking, which is a requirement alongside any Trump speech:
