For the American Citizens....

45 had his daily press conference this morning. It comes on and my TV goes off. I cannot stand to listen to his voice....the monotone reading of his prepared script or his ramblings if he looks up and goes off script.

After a nice long phone visit with a friend I walked into our family room....and the press conference was still going on. As I sat at the computer to check emails I couldn't help but hear some of 45's self-congratulatory comments or his hopeful feelings about the malaria drug that may be just terrific in combating this virus. (At which point Dr. Fauci had to step to the microphone and walk that back a bit.)

But it was a question from a reporter and the answer that followed that really caught my attention. He asked 45 something like "What do you say to the American citizens who are worried or frightened?" The presidential response?? "That's a nasty question."

I wanted to scream at the TV but instead I turned it off as quickly as I could.

"That's a nasty question."

How comforting. What great leadership trickling down from the oval office.

What a jerk.
