President Donald Trump giving a coronavirus briefing (screengrab)
President Donald Trump's coronavirus press briefing on Monday wandered all over the place. The president repeatedly attacked Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) for securing protective equipment without his help, complained that U.S. allies are ripping off the country, bragged about his travel restrictions on China, and got in a fight with correspondent Yamiche Alcindor when she asked about his slow response.
Commenters on social media could barely even make sense of what they had just seen.

If the TV version of God was real, these press briefings would be interrupted by a few lightning bolts, and Nancy Pelosi would be President.— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@BrooklynDad_Defiant!) 1587425547.0
