Your White House shadow briefing is back after a brief hiatus. For first time readers, we let the reporters ask the questions, but we give the right answers as opposed to the nonsense that comes out of @PressSec every day. So let's get to questions.
2. Q. Wondering with what we see in the markets, that they are a little jittery given the rise in cases, any reason the coronavirus task force has not been coming out to brief us, and also have they been consulted on the rally tomorrow night. A. You want see the task force again
3. The President has made clear he's won this war and cases are dwindling. Now that's not what the numbers say, but it's what the President says. You decide which is the truth. They won't consult the task force because the rally violates every single solitary recommendation from
4. the CDC. There is not a scientist or doctor in the world who thinks this is safe or a good idea. But the President needs some cheering up, and putting 20k lives at risk is a small cost for a little Trump smile. Q Two questions for you, first on the President's tweet on the
5. Tulsa rally, he said, what did he mean when he said that any protesters would be treated like protesters in NY, Seattle and other cities. Is the President indicating that the right to peacefully assemble shouldn't apply to his rallies. A. That's exactly what he's saying.
6. He's hoping for a lot of tear gas and vicious dogs to take on the peaceful protesters, then he'll come our and hold a Bible up like a complete dork. Q On DACA, the President's tweet this morning, he said he's going to move ahead and try to end that program, what is the
7. timeframe on that and why is the President saying that since he's said he thinks the children who were born here through no fault of their own should be taken care of. A. Yes he believes they should be taken care of. So he's asked Stephen Miller to personally take care of each
8. and everyone of those rapists, murders and gang members who were born here. They don't belong here according to Miller and he's going to take care of it. Q. Now that we're about 24 hours away from this rally tomorrow night, you have The Who director saying the world is in a
9. new and dangerous place, you have cases rising in Oklahoma, you have the Mayor of Tulsa declaring a civil emergency, given all of this together is there any discussions and reservations about going forward with this rally in a state where Covid cases are on the rise.
10. A. Listen, I could give you a whole line of bullshit about why it's safe and the precautions we're taking. But the bottom line is the President couldn't care less about these people. He mocks them in private. And the strategy for Covid 19 has reverted to late February-
11. pretend it's not happening. Never heard of it. It will go away. It's like the flu etc. Q Behind the scenes are there any WH officials expressing a bit of reservation about going forward 24 hours out. A. No, anyone with a brain or a conscience left or was fired a while ago.
12. Now it's just members of a cult who follow their dear leader. Q. Will any WH officials be at the rally tomorrow? A. Of course, we wouldn't miss it. I hear they'll be serving Kool Aid. Q. Will you be there. A. Wouldn't miss it. Q. Will you or other WH officials be wearing
13. masks at the rally. A. No way. I just told you our strategy is it's not happening. Wearing masks undercuts the strategy. Q. Why won't you wear a mask, is it a certain political statement for you, is it the President will be disappointed with you. A. Bottom line...its a
15. for each other, it feels like he's exploiting children to make some kind of crass political point. A. First he retweets this stuff because he is a child. And like a child he does childish things. Second, he can't win if blacks and whites are hugging. He needs them to be
17. fake news. A. The whole idea behind fake news is to get people to not believe anything they see. He wants people to not trust their eyes. He wants them to join the cult and understand that only he can be trusted. It's his only option given how often he lies. Q. The President
18. has referred to Mexicans as rapists and murderers, he's tried to pass a Muslim ban in this country. He's described black NFL players as sons of bitches A. You're catching on. This is all about demonizing groups, pitting American against each other, all in the interest of his
19 personal and political agenda. He's quite proud of his racism, xenophobia and bigotry. He claims to have invented all of them Q. Why does the President continue to hire people who are dumb as a rock, in way over their heads and wacko and incompetent. A. It's called projection
20. folks. Because he is all of those things. Most of his insults are just reflections of his own failings. Q. there is value in hiring a team of rivals but why hire rivals that are incompetent and in over their heads. A. Man I love it when Trump thinks he's like Lincoln.
21. wet your pants funny. Q.Does the President support Juneteenth as a federal holiday and yesterday he said in an interview with the WSJ that no one had ever heard of Juneteenth. What does that say about the Presidents relationship with the African American community when
22. millions of African Americans celebrate it every year. A. First, no he does not support a holiday. He will support a holiday when we reinstate slavery. He's for that. On his relationship with the black community, it's simple, he doesn't have one. He keeps a few around, but
23. he never listens when they're talking. He's normally tweeting. Q But he said he just heard about it this week. A. That's true but he'll now tell you he invented the holiday. He's like that. Q. Is the White House planning to issue an executive order to suspend visas for
14. personnel decision, I wear a mask and I get fired. Q Last night the President tweeted out some fake videos, one of which is labeled manipulated media by twitter. Why is the President sharing fake videos about two toddlers who are obviously showing a lot of love for each
