WAS Examiner rips trump: UNSUITABLE TO HANDLE a CRISIS/& CAN'T BLUFF his way through
So this morning he ripped NYTIMES as a enemy of the people and failed and whatever else he added. Perhaps he didn't read one of his STAUNCHEST supporters. This ain't the NYT or WAPO! UNSUITABLE? That's still 'tepid'. The MOST could get away with without having the WH press credentials pulled?

Trump gives remarks after touring the CDC on March 6.AP
President Trump’s bombastic style has served him well through many stages of his political career, but as the coronavirus spreads rapidly throughout the United States, it is exposing how deeply unsuited he is to deal with a genuine crisis that he can’t bluff his way through.
It’s one thing for Trump to insist he had a “perfect” phone call and have all his Republican minions fall in line. It’s another thing to downplay a growing epidemic as more and more Americans get sick.
On February 26th, Trump patted himself on the back for the relatively low number of cases in the U.S. “You have 15 people, and the 15, within a couple of days, is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done," he said. By March 5, he was tweeting that the U.S. cases, portraying this as a low number relative to the seasonal flu.
Sunday morning, he avoided stating any number in... “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus. We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!”
