Tag: Trump unfit for presidency

NBC’s Peter Alexander asked Trump to reassure Americans about coronavirus. Trump berated him instead.

Washington Post logoIt was the journalistic equivalent of a layup, an opportunity for President Trump to utter a sound bite to soothe an anxious nation’s fears and concerns amid a pandemic.
