President Donald Trump and White House Coronavirus Task Force Daily Press Briefing | FULL

Trump administration officials announced today that the U.S. military would send naval ships and aircraft to the Caribbean as part of an enhanced counternarcotics operation.

President Trump and other top officials discussed the operation at the top of a White House coronavirus briefing Wednesday evening. Trump said it was important not to let drug cartels “exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives.”

Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that the Pentagon would deploy additional ships, aircraft and security forces to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility as part of the operation.

The SOUND sucks! This is a very important briefing and the sound isn't working

[angelrichie]

I have to say that I was taken back a bit that this crucial Presidential session was opened by the illegal drug issues...really? The drugs will be there when this pandemic is over, pls focus on COVID 19.

[wickedcyn]

Aaay yes the drug cartels, I’m sure he’s referring to the pharmaceutical companies, since ventilators went from 25, 000 to 45, 000 dollars a pop.💩

[kjenterprises]

Where is the Presidential SEAL? It has been removed from the podium. Where is the United States flag out of plain view? Not a good sign at all.

[susielee]

Vice President Pence looks very exhausted! Thank you, Sir, for working so diligently for the American people !

[pop]

[sammclone]

Don't worry the drugs will all disappear by Easter like a miracle?

[elizasheppard]

Waooo this is true miracle 😱😱GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION

[susielee]

Mr. President, many stores in Corona, California have raised prices on household items by at least a dollar. Is this even ethical ? People are already in hard times without jobs so how can this merchants take advantage of the American citizens during this difficult time? Would you address this in your next briefing? I hope there's a law against this unkind deeds!

[bbfreetube]

The illegal immigrants will survive because they are resourceful and frugal. They also can glean the fields to obtain free food.

[greglarry]

Horrible example of social distancing by the task force. If the room is too small to spread out, move the news conferences to a larger venue so you can give the American people a better example.

[wickedcyn]

Wtf!!! Does drugs and narcotics have to do with covid

[northtexas]

Thank you President Trump and the Cornavirus Task Force for all your brilliance and caring for us the American people. You all are in our prayers!

[timewilltellitall]

Where is the reporters "social distancing"? They don't seem worried about catching the virus.
They all moved at once. Did they not know they were on the air?

[christineofor]

Can we have a new federal government just for this pandemic...please

[hbdb]

Idk what but something about this feels off, and makes me a bit uneasy...

Now, at this very moment we have "Wag the Dog" situation. The press conference today highlights this concept." In 1997, a film came out based on that novel, Wag the Dog. In it, a president was failing in his re-election bid, and came up with the scheme of using military action to save his campaign. This became a "reality" the year after it was released, when Bill Clinton faced impeachment during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, where he was caught in the felony of committing perjury. Days after the scandal broke, Bill Clinton ordered missile strikes against two countries, Afghanistan and Sudan.[4] During impeachment proceedings, Clinton also bombed Iraq, drawing further "wag the dog" allusions.[5] With the scandal still on the public's mind in March 1999, his administration launched a bombing campaign against Yugoslavia.[6]
This concept has then been brought up for each subsequent president, multiple times for Donald Trump, including in April 2017 when he conducted airstrikes against Syria during an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[3] Then in January 2020, after a U.S. airstrike assassination of Iran's Gen. Qasem Soleimani occurred during Trump's impeachment process, various references to Wag the dog made the news.[7] Many referred to several tweets by Trump from 2011–2012 suggesting President Obama would essentially "wag the dog" to get re-elected, noting the hypocrisy of the current situation.[8]
