President Donald Trump blasted the way his presidency is being covered — and those who win awards writing about him
The day of his wife’s birthday, President Donald Trump decided to forgo a coronavirus briefing — but he didn’t log out of his Twitter account.
Sunday was the second straight day Trump had not participated in a White House coronavirus briefing — the task force held a meeting Saturday but no briefing — amid speculation that his extended appearances in those daily events were taking a toll on his approval ratings. The president has clashed with members of the press during those briefings, and, as he had Saturday, he offered stinging rebukes via Twitter of the media for its coverage of the current crisis and his presidency.
“I read a phony story in the failing @nytimes about my work schedule and eating habits, written by a third rate reporter who knows nothing about me,”. “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom.” “People with me are always stunned,” he tweeted about his work habits. The article he was referring to may have been Thursday’s New York Times article by Annie Karni and Katie Rogers that began: “President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon, when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television.“Pulitzer Prizes have been used to reward journalistic excellence and impact since 1917.
