WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump was so angry at the media, and so sore from ridicule over his suggestion that coronavirus patients be injected with disinfectant, that he abandoned his daily briefing Monday. Well, for a couple hours anyway.

This was Trump’s latest attempt at damage control after criticism – even from some in his own party – that the daily briefings were too combative, turning into miniature versions of his now suspended campaign rallies. “We like to keep reporters on their toes,” White House strategic communications director Alyssa Farah tweeted, with the light-hearted addition of a winking emoji.There’s been no such humour coming from the Oval Office – except, possibly, for the sarcastic kind.

Over the weekend, he also used the sarcasm defence to explain a bizarre tweet in which he told journalists whom he believes treat him unfairly to give back their “Noble Prizes”. “There has never been, in the history of our Country, a more vicious or hostile Lamestream Media than there is right now, even in the midst of a National Emergency, the Invisible Enemy!” Trump also wrote.Yet another tweet on Saturday fed rumours that Trump was going to shut down the briefings altogether.
