    Trump-haters' heads exploding in the wake of his masterful Rose Garden coronavirus briefing yesterday
    By Thomas Lifson


    President Trump is redefining himself as a wartime president, boldly acting to sweep away obstacles and mobilizing government and business to fight together to get us up to speed in overcoming a threat nobody anticipated. Yesterday's White House press briefing, held outdoors in the sunny weather, intensified the frenzy of TDS-addled media and other Democrats. President Trump's effectiveness — in reforming regulatory and bureaucratic roadblocks and mobilizing vastly increased production of necessary medical equipment in short supply — was on display even more vividly than before. He comes across as a leader who is dealing with an unexpected threat, learning as he goes, and tapping into the unmatched resources of the American people to fight it.

    President Trump is a leader who actually leads, refusing to be constrained by the norms and procedures of the past that cannot be allowed to get in the way of the pressing necessity of fighting an unprecedented threat.

    Here is video of the entire briefing, almost an hour and a half long. I will refer to specific notable moments below, with video cued to those moments:


    Below, the president presents the good news on testing — that we have reached a million tests performed, more than any other country — and calls on Secretary Azar, who, like all the speakers, thanks him for his leadership in mobilizing multiple people and groups in working together to reach this goal.


    The haters prefer to castigate the United States for not being fast enough to ramp up testing, measuring America (and Trump) against a theoretical ideal, and against countries like South Korea that were better prepared. This is an effective argument if the goal is to point fingers and wail about the past, but it does nothing to solve current problems. And it presumes that Democrats, who accused Trump of racism for banning travel from China, and who, like Nancy Pelosi, urged Americans to celebrate the Lunar New Year in San Francisco's Chinatown (or Mardi Gras in New Orleans) in densely packed crowds, would have magically had effective tests in place before the virus was even known.

    Another federal bureaucrat, Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, spoke of regulatory obstacles swept away — many of which will probably stay swept away when this is over. President Trump's deregulation efforts are now on steroids, and Americans are getting the powerful message that over-regulation has been taking a great toll on the economy and productivity:


    But the speaker who triggered the most extreme and ridiculous hateful reactions was Mike Lindell, "the My Pillow guy," whom President Trump identified as a "friend" and who not only touted his company converting most of its production to desperately needed face masks (50,000 a day by Friday), but also offered a prayer and positively alluded to President Trump. Lindell was the first of six CEOs to speak, and his company is the newest and probably the smallest of those represented. He is also not shy about appearing in his commercials with a cross visible hanging on his chest, which sadly is something that triggers many Trump-haters who also appear to hate religiously observant people, unless they are Muslims.


    Twitter showcased exploding heads:

    Trump just called the “My Pillow” guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up.

    The "My Pillow Guy" was at the Corona Virus briefing today? Boy oh boy, do we need SNL this Saturday. If this had been a SNL skit we would have thought it was fake, right? You can't make this shit up. Who is going to play the "my pillow guy" ? @nbcsnl @ABFalecbaldwin @AlecBaldwin https://twitter.com/LewisForMN/status/1244752164951674881 …

    Mike Lindell, founder of My Pillow answered the call, and converted 75% of his manufacturing capacity to make 50k N95 masks a day.

    Yet the left wing media & blue checkmarks are outraged he mentioned God?

    Give it a rest! Thank you @realMikeLindell!

    The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell says this: "God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of our schools & lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word. Read our Bible"

    CNN cut away from the live news event as soon as Lindell started to speak but resumed coverage after he left the podium.

    When President Trump started to take questions, he handled hostile questions forcefully, denouncing them and pointing out how questions should be asked. The tweet below shows his response to Jim Acosta's attempt to look backward:

    President Trump to @Acosta:

    “It's why people just don't want to listen to CNN anymore.. Instead of asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question and other than that, I'm going to go to somebody else.”

    President Trump concluded the briefing with a hostile question about per capita testing rates that enabled him to slam-dunk the point that we are moving forward, "going to war with the army we had," and working effectively to overcome the deficiencies. He ended the briefing with a bang!

  4. Try to get rid of the negativity and put downs in your posts. I'm not going to play with you anymore by coming up with ever "better" insults, etc. It is a waste of time for the immature.

    Time to grow up. The both of us.

    The gains are very small, however, compared with changes in approval ratings for other prominent leaders. Approval ratings for the UK’s Boris Johnson’s rose 15 points in two weeks, according to Morning Consult.

    Ratings are up 9 points for Germany’s Angela Merkel and 7 points for France’s Emmanuel Macron. Canada’s Justin Trudeau is up 11 points and Australia’s Scott Morrison is up 13 points.

    In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approval rating has soared from 50% to 71%, as Cuomo conducts televised daily briefings on the crisis in New York, similar to Trump’s daily White House briefings.

    Andrew Cuomo’s Popularity Hits 7-Year High, Virus Response Wins Massive Support

    87% of New Yorkers approve of his handling of the coronavirus crisis, including an overwhelming majority of Republicans

    Published March 30, 2020 • Updated on March 30, 2020 at 6:17 am

    New York's love-hate relationship with Gov. Andrew Cuomo is very much in the "love" phase, as the public gives overwhelming support to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

    A new Siena College poll out Monday finds Cuomo's favorability rating has soared to 71 percent, up 27 points in just a month to its highest level since early 2013.

    That's driven entirely by his response to COVID-19, where a stunning 87 percent of the public approves of his handling of the situation. His support is so broad, Siena said, that even 70 percent of Republicans approve of his work on the virus.
