Earlier today, the Trump White House almost did something right for once, when it announced a full lid for the day – meaning there would be no coronavirus press conference today. This was a relief, considering what an abominable disaster these briefings are. But now for some reason Donald Trump has changed his mind.

Trump has announced that he’s holding a coronavirus crisis briefing at 7pm eastern today, for reasons known only to him.

We’ll see what the idiot has to say today.
