President Trump’s job approval rating has gone up a few ticks since the coronavirus outbreak started in the U.S., and Trump’s approval number for his handling of the crisis is at 60 percent:
That’s as high as he’s gotten and perhaps more striking, his approval rate on handling Covid 19 is 60%. I bet that owes something to his much-criticized briefings and the participation in them of top public-health officials. https://t.co/8HOMbY4Z3d

And with that, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes wanted his viewers to know why he wasn’t showing them clips from the president’s coronavirus press briefing:
.@chrislhayes on why we aren't playing sound from Trump today:
“In the midst of a global pandemic, the President went out and said things that are flat out wrong, that are lies, and that are dangerous…Frankly, the President has become a genuine threat to public health.” pic.twitter.com/AAgPxlv4ey

Based on that one thing is abundantly clear:
The approval polls are scaring the hell out of the networks. https://t.co/cgJOnehGZ4

Yep! That’s got to be driving them even crazier.
I know this won't stop them from complaining, but these people should be told to go piss up a rope next time they complain about the lack of briefings.

Considering all the BS that MSNBC has pushed in the last nearly four years, their accusation that Trump is dishonest is rich indeed.
