New York (AP) – Remember the President’s debate? Revealing how much President Donald Trump pays in taxes, the new U.S. Supreme Court Justice Nomination?
It all happened within the last week. Soon after, they reminisced on Friday with a revelation that Trump had tested positive for COVID-19. News, significant news, running at the speed of light.
More than full memory.
“I don’t know how many writers working on political melodrama have just deleted their files and opened a bottle of Scotch,” said PJ journalist Jeff Greenfield.
Seventeen hours after the world was informed of the president’s diagnosis, television footage showed the president heading for a Marine One helicopter before taking him to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Minutes later, he tweeted a video image thanking people for their concern.
“I think I’m doing very well, but we’ll make sure things work.”
The hospital trip sparked speculation about how ill the president was. CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta called it “a little uncomfortable”.
Meanwhile, a White House correspondent told the organization that three reporters there tested positive for COVID on Friday. All covered White House events last week. The correspondents told the organization all its members that those who do not have small bridges assigned to them should follow the president and those who do not have closed spaces to work from home.
The coronavirus story surfaced shortly after 8pm on Thursday when Bloomberg News White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted that sources had told her that Hope Hicks, one of Trump’s closest aides, had tested positive. Trump confirmed the news in a tweet a few hours later, adding that he and First Lady Melania Trump were being tested and were awaiting results in quarantine.
Then, at 12:54 a.m., the president tweeted that they were both positive.
“There’s a lot to wake up to,” said Savannah Guthrie at the top of NBC’s “Today” show.
There were plenty of angles to chase reporters, and questions arose as to why Trump went to the fundraiser on Thursday when he knew Hicks was ill. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was explicitly asked why he did not wear a mask when he briefed reporters on Friday afternoon.
ABC is a former New Jersey Govt. Christie hired Christine as an analyst because she told the “Good Morning America” audience that she had been in the White House for several days until Tuesday to prepare for the debate and that none of Trump’s allies were dressed. Mask. Shaken, Christie was preparing for a test.
Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, who moderated the Trump-bidon debate in Cleveland on Tuesday night, said he was no closer to Trump than he appeared on television. He appeared on the network on Friday on the update, saying the lesson of the day was “wear a hateful mask.”
Wallace also uttered harsh words to former Fox guest Scott Atlas, who recently advised the president on coronavirus policy.
“Listen to the independent people who don’t have the political ax to grind,” said Valce Lace. “And I clearly don’t believe Scott Atlas is one of those people.”
For the most part on Friday, Twitter was open to announcements about people (such as Republican National Committee Chairman Rona M. D’Cadanil) and people testing negative (BD Biden and his wife, Jill).
It was all a little tiring. Former CBS News anchor Dan Rath said he thought it came from a “newsquake”.
“I don’t remember a week where these many important stories came from, not since World War II.” At any given time the narrative is scheduled, “Boom, something comes and changes the subject.”
Greenfield, who is is years old, said he does not remember the time when such big news came very quickly and furiously. It makes Bob Woodward’s book about the Trump administration, and the revelations in it, seem like ancient history.
Greenfield recommends that people take some time off from social media and television. Read a novel. Check out some games.
“You can go for a walk outside,” he said. “But by the time you get back, the asteroids may have hit or the aliens may have landed and you have a whole new story.”
