Trump chides reporters for ‘sitting too close’ during briefing: ‘We should probably get rid of about another 75%-80% of you’

The POTUS is being very generous. It should be more like 90 – 95 percent. The conduct of the MSM during this crisis has been utterly despicable. Even for them. They truly are the enemy of the people.

Trump chides reporters for ‘sitting too close’ during briefing: ‘We should probably get rid of about another 75%-80% of you’

By Washington Examiner, March 19th, 2020:

President Trump chided reporters for sitting too close to one another during a press conference at the White House on Thursday and joked that the majority of them should leave the room because he doesn’t like reporters.

“You’re actually sitting too close,” Trump said. “You should really — we should probably get rid of about another 75%-80% of you. I have just two or three of you that I like in this room. … We just figured a new way of doing it.”

Trump was referencing guidance from U.S. health officials, who have asked that the public practice social distancing amid a nationwide outbreak of the coronavirus.

Social distancing requires keeping at least a 6-foot distance between people and avoiding groups of more than 10, especially in public places.

“You’re actually much too close,” Trump told reporters, some of whom left only one chair of separation between them. “You should leave immediately.”

Earlier in Thursday’s press conference, Trump joked that the media has been “nicer” to him after the federal government rolled out the new guidelines.

“I don’t know what it is, all these empty, these in-between chairs,” Trump said. “But it’s so much nicer, but I shouldn’t say that because you’ll get me.”

More than 10,000 cases of the virus have been confirmed in the United States, including more than 150 deaths.

CAN YOU SAY ‘DEMONIC’? That is exactly what you and your Democrat Party represent. WE SEE IT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN ALL THE VITRIOL AND HATRED TOWARD A PRESIDENT WHO IS TRYING HIS BEST TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AND HE HAS! But, like my Dad always said, “HATRED ALWAYS BLINDS THE HATER AND EVENTUALLY, THE HATER BECOMES HATED then the HATERS become 2nd-class citizens who are shunned.”

I do believe that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is loathed by most of Americans. So, go ahead and continue your diatribe on a President WE, THE PEOPLE voted into office. No matter what you say or how you say it, NO ONE IS GOING TO BELIEVE YOU because you all are LIARS AND DECEIVERS and you have proven to be so with all your FAILED ATTEMPTS at trying to destroy our President.

NOTHING YOU OR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SAYS IS EVER GOING TO BE CREDIBLE AGAIN, EVER. Now, go crawl back into your dark hole or better yet, keep it up and watch your Democrat Party dwindle into nothing. ????????????????????

No you are not. You, little sumsrent, are a moslem. NO doubt about it. Due to your use of ebonics, good odds are that you are a black moslem.

Brilliant! Measure the lamestream media’s “social distancing” in miles, as in “get the hell away from me”.

I think Trump is really concerned, they should reduce the Democrat Communist MSM from the white house grounds completely.

The swamp is deep and rancid. You have to stop them getting in and IF they do they have to be physically thrown out.
Teach a few a lesson and it goes from there for a start.
