'I am not fucking losing to Joe Biden,' he told officials, according to Associated Press.
US President Donald Trump speaks as White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx looks on at the daily coronavirus briefing at the White House April 20, 2020 in Washington, DC. Oil prices fell below zero due to a collapse in energy demand and near full capacity of storage tanks in the US, brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.
This will start on Sunday with a “town hall” type interview on the friendly Fox News network staged, unusually, at the dramatic Lincoln Memorial on Washington’s National Mall — just outside the White House. In the wake of a disastrous press conference last week, when Trump riffed on the possibility of injecting coronavirus patients with disinfectant, the White House is pivoting to a sunnier new focus on reopening the economy.
“FAKE POLLING, just like 2016 !” Trump tweeted on Thursday during an intense early morning tweet storm against journalists, Democrats and those Trump believes have conspired to bring down his presidency through investigations into his links with Russia. Then came the novel coronavirus, which has already killed more than 60,000 Americans and triggered quarantines cratering everything from restaurants to airlines across the world’s biggest economy.
