Some allies worry President Trump is damaging his reelection prospects with his dominance of the briefing room during a public health and economic crisis

Donald Trump’s top aides are fiercely debating a question their boss rarely confronted during his decades of jousting with tabloid newspapers, starring on reality TV shows and running a media-soaked presidential campaign: whether there’s such a thing as too much Donald Trump.

And health experts — including on his own staff — have watched in horror as he’s promoted untested cures for the deadly virus and retweeted calls for the firing of top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. The evolving approach was on full display Friday, when the daily coronavirus task force briefing lasted less than 30 minutes and Trump declined to field questions from journalists in the room — a first for his own coronavirus briefings.

“I do think that disinfectant on the hands could have a very good effect,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “But I’d like them now to look as it pertains to the human body… I’d like to look as it pertains because maybe there’s something there.” Recently, several White House aides began urging the president to make the briefings far shorter and to only approach the podium to deliver announcements or tout victories, while leaving the technical aspects to the numerous health officials who typically join him at the dais. One Trump adviser said the ideal briefing would be 30 minutes long: 10 minutes for Trump, 10 minutes for his health officials and a final 10 minutes for questions.

LizMacDonaldFOX Of course realDonaldTrump dominates COVIDー19 Press Briefings. He is our potus, its HIS briefing, & he is a wonderful charismatic alpha Male that dominates ANY setting he's in. Dr.'s Fauci & Birx are important but like the Monkeys opening act for Led Zepplin. MAGA2020

I wish they’d all just do a once a week update with no media questions. And open the country back up

I’m calling bullshit

This is Trump’s major problem: Its Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt! His daily briefings have shown his ignorance to swing voters who are fleeing in droves! The WH, Senate and many state legislature’s are in play at this point!

Duh!

He is already toast..don't you get it!!!

And I would disagree. The press briefings give him an opportunity to get the facts out the biased media distorts and won't report. Also, it exposes the hopeless media and fake news for what they are every day.

He damaged that when he took office!!!

LizMacDonaldFOX how stupid, people like a take charge guy

LizMacDonaldFOX Great!

Yep.

Only some?

Dominance is not the word that comes to mind.

Not just too much Trump...too much Stupid Trump...Trump who no clue about anything...Trump who just wants to fight with reporters...Trump who has not shown an ounce of real leadership...that’s the Trump we have had too much of....

Do you think? Which by the way is really good!

We need to continue to be diligent. Many will still be voting for him, for whatever reason.

I’ve always said he needed to show competence and compassion and take care of Covid. This would get him re-elected. That means not hogging the stage and let the medical professionals talk about medicine.

HES DAMAGING THE WORLD.

3.5 years is way too much Donny to begin with. We shouldn't have to listen to that horrid baby voice every day, ranting at the media, and raving like mental patient.

I wish he would just go back to his Hate Rallies. At least we would not have to watch those.

Watch the old Charles Manson interview with Geralda Rivera when folks actually respected his skills and he did not bend over so much for a paycheck. Then watch Trumper during his briefings. Here, there, not sure, and I didn't do it. Twins.

Ya think?

That's because he is pure garbage as a president, as a speaker, and as a person!

None of us are worried about his re-election prospects. Trump2020Landslide

SOME 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Trump his ignorance & ignorant comments are the best BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT spots anyone could want. thehill CNN MSNBC chucktodd

I guess that’s why his poll numbers are up right More MSM spin and lies

1- you forgot to add his/her reelection which shows ur liberal ideology is fake 2- you are now just a functioning political operator ..

This pandemic has exposed Trump. No doubt his approval ratings are dropping.

Let’s see...years of embarrassing, ugly, corrupt acts. Culminating in the atrocious delayed virus response and 50K + deaths and counting. 30+ MILLION left unemployed and financially ruined 🤨 He still thinks people will vote for him?🤔 His re-election is dead 💀

May be it's time to let VP do his job,or read up this book...

He has already lost. Lost credibility from his crazy rants. Thinks it's a reality show

Well when you stupid things even the best supporters get weirded out👺🤡👺🤡☠️

Nonsense, we have a prez who informs public on what’s going on and a media that twists truth, lies, hate speech and insults all of America!

Who? What allies are saying this?

“Any” is too much !!!

Look forward to his daily briefings. It’s so reassuring that our president is always updating the information of this crisis! I trust his judgment! I hope he continues

dump unfit Trump

how about with his ignorance

Americans do not want 4 more years of that clown 🤡

This is abt his loans from Bank of China and trademarks for IvankaTrump and one is caskets. That tells u everything.

how about too much dumb?

Somehow people don't believe this guy is a disaster. His allies want the American people to experience less of him and somehow convince you he's the best candidate for the next 4 years.

If his aides,cabinet members & GOP at large really care about their dear leader,they should not only remove him from podium but also from office as they well know he is a mentally disturbed & unstable person unfit for office. It only take the VP and 3/4 of cabinet to remove him.

I think the only allies that this mortician has are his homies and Nazis he has become the death angel of America

The Vice President also not in alignment with bringing alternatives reassurance. The president needs a better co messenger as well. But they need to go off the social media stage and start with different messaging going forward. Change some of their thoughts by listening more.

You think so?

Too much IgnorantassTrump

'They are making realDonaldTrump look like an idiot by quoting him.' -Republicans

Although I applaud the concern of Trumps supporters for re-election, I’m appalled they are less concerned about the management of the Covid crisis. 50,000 + Americans dead and counting and the primary focus is Trump? What is happening?!!!!!

TrumpLiesAmericansDie

He is talking a bit too much. Hogging the stage at every opportunity and what he is messaging, is not in alignment with a person that is really seeking to be elected handsomely. He needs to start showing a degree of humbleness.

'dominance'? More like narcissistic soapboxing

This is true!! He needs to STFU and let the experts handle this. He is helping nothing and he looks like a fool up there.

Duh

Interpretation. Trump’s allies have realized trump is a lunatic. And are telling him to stop talking.

Despite your best efforts he will win.

If he didn't appear MSM and the DEMs would be screaming about it - if he does appear, MSM and the DEMs are screaming about it - it's ridiculous.

Gee, that’s too bad. Guess prison will have to do.

Trump should just talk to a mirror surrounded by pence, nunes, mitchel, giuliani, barr, his two moronic sons, vanky, most fox news people and all his other toads; to tell him he is great and loved.

Trump disagrees with Redfield, Fauci on return of coronavirus next fallThe coronavirus would be reduced to easily extinguished “embers” by the time next fall’s influenza season strikes, President Trump said at Wednesday’s briefing of the White House task force, even as his top health experts continued to offer a decidedly more guarded outlook. Of course he disagrees. These doctors rely on actual science and facts and Trump is just mentally ill Yes. With his expertise in the medical field he's gotta be right. Gee, I wonder who to believe
