Trump holds 90 second briefing to tout stock market gains

Trump fails to answer questions or formally concede in bizarre 90-second briefing – video

Donald Trump and Mike Pence appeared in the White House briefing room for less than two minutes for Trump to tout the stock market’s good day - despite Trump having not taken a question from reporters in about three weeks.

There was almost no notice of the briefing. CNN’s Jim Acosta said White House staff were suddenly shouting at journalists to get into their seats because the president wanted to walk into the briefing room. After Trump’s departure, a reporter was heard to say: ‘Well, that was weird as s***’.​

Ironically, Trump made reference breaking records re: the stock market, yet failed to also mention that the U.S. keeps breaking records re: COVID-19. You can see where his priorities are.

(in context) Most records are man-made, proven later to be fabricated, and false.

I think it’s pretty telling how the MSM made no mention of any mention of what Mr Trump said about his strategy.

If the MSM insist on not reporting what easily might have been said how are we to trust them?

That is a sad, defeated man at the podium.

It’s totally out of character for Trump to pass up an opportunity to be in the limelight and take questions and berate reporters as he spins any positive win for the country into a personal victory for himself.

He’s done.

Don't trust them.

 

[Nithavela]

Don't trust them.

But you, we should trust?

 

[Larniavc]

Don't trust them.

But who can you trust? If Mr Trump’s strategy is hushed up (how hard is to record a 90 second briefing?) and not reported how can he get the message out to his supporters?

I think what is lacking in this administration is any advisor with a enough gumption to say, "No, Mr. President, you don't want to do that." Not a spine in the whole place.

There were some when he started. He fired them all.

It wouldn't do any good. Trump fired anyone who would challenge him and replaced them with sycophants.

That was so strange. The stock market had a phenomenal day because he is leaving. He basically congratulated his administration for leaving. It takes all kinds of "winners," I guess.

Maybe he's just tired of all the winning... lol.

“That’s a sacred number, 30,000. Nobody thought they’d ever see it. That’s the 48th time we have broken records during the Trump administration.”

Sacred?

Sacred?

He was probably coached to try to pander to evangelicals or something.

Indeed given a choice between worshipping the stock market, or god, I wonder who'd win?
