Less than 24 hours after his return to the White House after being treated for COVID-19 at a nearby hospital, President Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to blame the news media for its aggressive focus on his handling of the pandemic.
“The Fake News Media refuses to discuss how good the Economy and Stock Market, including JOBS under the Trump Administration, are doing. We will soon be in RECORD TERRITORY,” Trump tweeted. “All they want to discuss is COVID 19, where they won’t say it, but we beat the Dems all day long, also!!!”
……..
Meanwhile, a CNN poll released Monday found that 63 percent of respondents said Trump acted irresponsibly in handling the risk of infecting people who had been around him with COVID-19. Thirty-three percent considered the president’s actions responsible, while 4 percent said they didn’t have an opinion.
Trump has repeatedly tried to shift the focus from COVID-19 to other issues, such as the economy, in the run-up to November’s election.

The economy stinks and the stock market tanked today, thanks to his aides’ withdrawal from the negotiating table. But as usual, Trump blames his failures on someone else.
Watching @DanaPerino’s reaction was… something. https://t.co/TAGkxU0QZO

Always the fault of the old and sick. We are the selfish ones. ‘
No, if it wasn’t for Trump’s selfishness and that of his fans, young and old, this pandemic might be winding down instead of claiming thousands of lives a day.
