Following her attempt to load the $2 trillion relief bill with left-wing agenda items, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., accused the president of being responsible for the loss of life. During a CNN interview, Pelosi said, “As the president fiddles, people are dying.”
Democratic strategist James Carville criticized Trump’s press briefings in an NBC News commentary, writing, he “…mixes fact, fiction and hyperbole.”
The anti-Trump media agenda is on full display over the president handling of the coronavirus crisis.
In a bizarre turn of events, some TV hosts want less news by calling for the end of the daily press briefings.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said on her show that if President Trump “keeps lying” that “all of us should stop broadcasting it,” while her colleague Chris Hayes called the press briefings “dangerous.”
The Washington Post story about reporters refusing to attend the daily briefings claims that “reporters are keeping their distance because they are concerned about the health risks,” and are not protesting or “attempting to silence” President Trump.
CNN went as far as not to air President Trump’s comments during the March 31 press briefing.
Ironically, there was a time when the media demanded daily White House press briefings but now, they’ve changed their tune.
Democrats and their liberal media allies realize President Trump and his administration are doing an amazing job. They’re terrified that the daily briefings will demonstrate his bold leadership to voters.
Recent public opinion polls prove the public is responding to Trump’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis. A Gallup poll found 60 percent of Americans approve of the president coronavirus response efforts and an ABC/WashingtonPost poll showed 66 percent of Americans were confident with the federal government’s ability to handle the virus.
Moreover, according to the Real Clear Politics average poll, Trump’s approval rating is on the rise to hitting a record high.
The bottom line is that President Trump’s enemies are afraid that his incredible leadership during this national crisis will result in his reelection this November. Democrats and the media are willing to do anything in order to prevent that from happening — even if comes at the expense of the American people.

On Saturday, Biden said the virus is not the president’s fault but he blames President Trump for failing to prepare the country for it.
Here is Biden’s tweet on Saturday.
Donald Trump is not responsible for the coronavirus, but he is responsible for failing to prepare our nation to respond to it. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 4, 2020
President Trump responded to Biden’s comment during the White House press briefing.
The president accused Biden of not writing the Tweet or watching the briefing, saying, “He doesn’t write. He’s probably not even watching right now.”
Biden continued his criticism of President Trump on ABC News’ “This Week.”
On “This Week,” Biden said President Trump moved too slow and he lacked a sense of urgency.
Biden mislead the nation when he claimed President Trump cut the budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Joe Biden AGAIN falsely claims President Trump cut the CDC's budget. An AP Fact Check said that's "wrong." In fact, the CDC’s "financing has increased" under Trump. Plus, under VP Biden, the White House proposed cuts to CDC’s funding 5 out of 8 years. https://t.co/MVvgeFwter pic.twitter.com/Ewpa4o56s8 — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) April 5, 2020
Biden also mislead viewers by not admitting the Obama administration failed to build up the supply of masks.
“We did a lot to prepare,” Biden tells @gstephanopoulos when pressed on whether the Obama admin should have “done more to prepare” for a potential pandemic. In 2014 DHS warned that a pandemic was the highest homeland security risk from a natural cause. https://t.co/IWEd5ppDTB pic.twitter.com/2P0CHEOPBO — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) April 5, 2020

Biden, like many Democrats, is trying to exploit the coronavirus pandemic for political gain.
Unfortunately, “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos did not challenge Biden on his inaccurate and misleading statement.
And speaking of the media, CNN’s Jake Tapper used his show to criticize President Trump.

The Russia collusion and impeachment strategies were manufactured crises by Democrats and amplified by the anti-Trump media.
In contrast, with the coronavirus, the president’s adversaries are exploiting a natural phenomena to inflict damage on the president.
All three efforts were designed to remove the president from office but differ with the mechanism.

Judging by his comments during an interview on MSNBC, Schiff appears set to indict the president for a poor response to the crisis that resulted in “catastrophic consequences.”
Well before the negative economic consequences of the social distancing policy were apparent, The New York Times wrote about the potential of the coronavirus to negatively impact the Trump economy.
A March 1 story, “A Virus Spreads, Stocks Fall, and Democrats See an Opening to Hit Trump,” describes and deviously promotes the Democrat strategy to connect the president’s leadership regarding the coronavirus and the stock market drop.

Before the coronavirus Black Swan, the president’s economic policy was one of the strongest arguments for President Trump’s reelection.
The president’s tax cuts and regulatory relief effort boosted the economy and led to a fifty year low in the unemployment rate.
Minority groups were especially benefiting from the Trump economy with Blacks and Hispanics reaching historically low unemployment rates.
The pandemic abruptly changed the positive economic impact for the United States, including for minority groups. The March jobs report found a loss of over 700,000 jobs with a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.4 percent from 3.5 percent and black unemployment rising to 6.7 percent from 5.8 percent.
In the last two weeks, almost 10 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits and with state lockdown policies remaining in place the economic outlook will only deteriorate.
The dramatic shift in the economy does not in itself ensure Democrats will win control of the White House, because President Trump is showing solid leadership during the crisis.
Under his direction the president has mobilized the private sector to produce medical equipment and he has pushed the FDA to approve drugs and devices to help save lives.
Americans are recognizing the president’s efforts. Gallup found 60 percent of U.S. adults approve of the way President Trump is managing the crisis and his overall job approval reached its high at 49 percent.

Siding with an Iranian Islamic terrorist who's killed hundreds Americans, injured untold numbers more, and from a country that's anything but progressive to trash America? Disgusting and unsurprising. So you're….pro-terrorism? https://t.co/EKxFnr2KLx — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 4, 2020
Cries of racism are a sure way for Kaepernick to garner media attention and his activism continues to drive a wedge to divide, not unite, Americans.

Democrats and Anti-Trump Media Outraged Over Trump Airstrike of Soleimani
Democrats and the anti-Trump media are having a field day over President Trump’s order to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike on Thursday.
The airstrike was followed by the pro-Iran demonstrator’s attack earlier this week on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq which caused damage to outer parts of the embassy compound.
Protesters got as far as the reception area but were unable to get into the main building and according to the U.S. military, the embassy attack was in response to U.S. airstrikes in retaliation against the militia for killing an American contractor last week.
President Trump acted swiftly by sending Marines to protect the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.
The airstrike against Soleimani was also swift.
Fox News reports:
The Pentagon confirmed that Soleimani, the head of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds force, was taken out in a U.S. strike in Iraq directed by President Trump.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared on CNN and said the airstrike, “saved American lives” and that Soleimani was planning “imminent threats to American lives.”
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the airstrike ordered to kill top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani "saved American lives." Pompeo said earlier this morning the decision to eliminate Soleimani was in response to "imminent threats to American lives." https://t.co/S9VYrZNDv9 pic.twitter.com/RL2eEQfGfq — CNN (@CNN) January 3, 2020
U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R-ID) issued a statement:
Qassem Suleimani was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans… As I have previously warned the Iranian government, they should not mistake our reasonable restraint in response to their previous attacks as weakness. Full statement on the death of Suleimani: pic.twitter.com/Sl7ZN7zVIo — Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member (@SenateForeign) January 3, 2020
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the strike was “preemptive.”
We killed the most powerful man in Tehran short of the Ayatollah. This was not an act of revenge for what he had done in the past. This was a preemptive, defensive strike planned to take out the organizer of attacks yet to come. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 3, 2020
Democrats were highly critical of President Trump’s call to strike Soleimani.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy criticized President Trump for not seeking Congressional approval.
Speaker Pelosi says President Trump carried out the U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian commander in Iraq without the consultation of Congress. https://t.co/3FeHQykkJN — NBC News (@NBCNews) January 3, 2020
Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question. The question is this – as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war? — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 3, 2020
Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal demanded “a full explanation.”
Trump Admin owes a full explanation of airstrike reports—all the facts—to Congress&the American people. The present authorizations for use of military force in no way cover starting a possible new war. This step could bring the most consequential military confrontation in decades — Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) January 3, 2020
Not surprising is how the anti-Trump media weighed in on the airstrike and took aim at President Trump.
CNN host John Berman called the strike against Soleimani “murder” and an “assassination.”
Media Research Center’s Newsbusters provided a montage of outrage and criticism from CNN.
Newsbusters called MSNBC panelists “distraught” over the airstrike.
Despite the possible political consequences and current blowback by Democrats and the anti-Trump media, President Trump is showing leadership by acting swiftly against Soleimani.
Soleimani had just arrived in Iraq to cause more problems and was a threat to U.S. troops in the region.
By acting preemptively, President Trump is protecting our U.S. troops.

America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away. What a disgrace. — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) December 31, 2019
Really hard to overstate how badly Trump has bungled things in the Middle East. One of the only good things going – anti-Iran street protests in Iraq – have now morphed into anti-U.S. protests thanks to Trump's mishandling of Iran policy. https://t.co/1glF0HjRAC — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) December 31, 2019
News reports and television commentators were also critical of President Trump.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid called the U.S. embassy attack “Trump’s Benghazi.”

Donald Trump Jr. responded to Reid.
“Trump’s Benghazi” was handled with decisive action, like an actual leader would respond. The response (since they actually bothered to respond, unlike Obama/Crooked) was really the anti-Benghazi response! You’re welcome. https://t.co/pih1s9PfHl — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) January 1, 2020
President Trump’s swift response to the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq shows this is not another Benghazi.
The president’s actions demonstrate that attacks against U.S. facilities by rogue nations will not be tolerated and will be met with direct action.
