Coronavirus: Trump berates media at jaw-dropping briefing
Donald Trump is clearly aggrieved that the media has been critical of his handling of the pandemic.

There are more than 23,000 Americans dead because of coronavirus and more than half a million infected - and remember that, in early March, Donald Trump was saying there were a handful of cases, but that would soon be down to zero.
Yet Donald Trump walked into the briefing room with scores to settle with the media. This wasn't about the dead, the desperately sick, the people fearful of catching the virus. This was about him. And more particularly his profound sense of grievance that the media has been critical of his handling of Covid-19.
This is pretty damning stuff from one of the more milder outlets. I don't know what the reaction is like over there but over here its along the lines of
"2000 Americans dying every day ? Hey lets make a video attacking the media"
When the Captain of the ship goes mad there is a rule that allows the next in command to take over. Isnt there a similar device in your constitution ?
