Wonder what new, wonderful, and novel therapies he will come up this time. And what pearls of wisdom, hopefully along the lines of, "we wouldn't have so many cases, if we didn't test so much", and " why worry if young people get it, they only get the sniffles. Can't wait ti be enlightened

Call me cynical, but I think he's just going to use these as political mini-rallies.
No one from the CDC at the podium with him (in case they disagree with him) - maybe just Trump Barbie, and some effusively self congratulatory videos of how he single handedly defeated coronavirus, did wonderful deals with China and NK, had the very best economy in the history of man, and has a gorgeous soft porn wife by his side.

I agree he will likely do that but his audience won't be just his adoring fans but people tuning in to get updates on the worsening pandemic. Briefings did not play well for him before, they won't now. |

I hope just C-SPAN carries it live. For sure hope the networks do not give him that platform.

I say let him go. Every time he opens his mouth on the subject he loses more voters.

Previously when trump started turning the virus updates into political mini rallies the news channels started cutting away. Hopefully they do that again- no free campaign time for either candidate. And we get more tidbits of information like injecting ourselves with bleach while waiting for the virus to magically go away. |

Meanwhile, at a fundraiser last night.....hope the reporters don't ask him about his two faced stance on mask. He'll get mad and stomp off!  In Mr Cawthorn’s video of the fundraiser, held at the Trump International Hotel near the White House, he is enthusiastically greeted by various high-profile guests, including South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham – also unmasked – and the president’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who shakes his hand saying “you can touch me”. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/trump-promotes-masks-as-patriotic-before-mingling-without-one-at-event/ar-BB1707xE |

Picture in the paper today of Trump and McConnell in oval office, neither wearing a mask, but McConnell was holding his in his hands. Yeah, Trump believes in wearing a mask, it was all bullshit so his supporters can say he thinks it is a good idea. Just trying to avoid the criticism.

Let him ramble on about shower water and how great he is ad nauseum because when he gets going he says tons of shit he shouldn't. The down side is the right wing conservatives seem to believe his bullshit for some illogical reason... |

I'm watching Biden speak right now. How refreshing it is to listen to someone who can speak in complete sentences! Not to mention detailed descriptions of his plans, instead of "We have a tremendous plans! Yuge plans! Wait and see!" with no follow-up.

I’m parking my opinion right here. If he can’t give a rally in person, he at least has a TV audience. |

Update my arse. Rally. He's been real vocal about the task force updates in the past and how good the ratings were. He doesn't give a rat's rear about updates, he only cares about the ratings, so we won't get much in the way of updates if he even shows up. He's been waffling all day, but...yanno, he can't resist being a star.

So are we placing bets? I say he blathers, mostly about what a fabulous job he’s done on the virus, for at least 90 minutes, and the feedback is so dismal tomorrow he won’t do anymore.

Maybe he'll mention his landslide victory that got him into office and the three million fraudulent votes. Or the greatest economy in the history of the world. He used to just call it the greatest economy in the history of the US, but changed that a few days ago to world.

He was also quite subdued versus his normal schtick. The handlers are clearly at work. Repo-Con Senators are worried about the election. He is worried about the election. We may see a ‘new’ Trump. A bit more presidential instead of the usual psycho douchebag approach he favors at his rallies.

We may see a new Trump for a week or two (tops), but then he will get bored and start blaming people again.

He called it the COVID-19, again said it would disappear, contradicted his press secretary, and when asked about the possibility of Ghislaine Maxwell turning in powerful men... wished her well.

"Well, I think with the president's comments today, he recognized the mistakes he has made by now embracing mask-wearing and the recognition this is not a hoax. It is a pandemic that has gotten worse before it will get better because of his inaction," Pelosi said on CNN's "The Situation Room." "In fact, clearly, it is the Trump virus," Pelosi added, reiterating the phrase later in the interview as well.thehill.com/homenews/house/508449-pelosi-refers-to-coronavirus-as-the-trump-virus |
