Another Trump press conference

It must be said that US President Donald Trump is unique.

His press conference yesterday evening went on and on. He said nothing, nothing at all of substance. He got angry with people who asked 'nasty questions'.

He was recommending people to take a certain drug. One of the reasons for his logic was that there was plenty supplies of the drug available. It's a drug that treats malaria.

His daily press conferences really are a pantomime.

He told the people not to trust the media.

How do the professional experts stand on the podium with him and endure listening to him for well over an hour?

Last evening he talked about people going into ventilators.

He was at his most angry when he was talking about the whistleblower and his impeachment.

The president accused governors of playing political games with ventilators.

And then the moment came when he spoke about Palm Sunday and Easter Day. It was simply jaw-dropping to hear Donald Trump talk about the importance of these important Christian occasions.

What at all is truth and what's reality? What do the words mean for the president of the United States of America?
