Donald Trump’s critics want networks to stop airing his coronavirus briefings.

Many are no longer happy with the POTUS’ briefings on coronavirus. In fact, just recently, Twitters users urged others to boycott Trump’s conferences.

This time, the president’s critics want the networks to stop airing Trump’s conferences. Some alleged he was using the airtime for his re-election while others felt that his statements about coronavirus are useless.

@CNN & @MSNBC should stop airing Trump’s coronavirus press conferences. Raise your hand if you agree. #StopAiringTrump,” Scott Dworkin, co-founder of The Democratic Coalition, wrote.

“Trump is a danger to our physical and mental health. And yes, using his daily ‘press conferences’ as campaign rallies is disgusting. @CNN & @MSNBC you need to #StopAiringTrump,” @whatsnext added.

#StopAiringTrump Trump is making everyone sick at heart and angry. He can’t stop lying. Televising him adds insult to injury. @MSNBC @CNN,” @DenbrotS opined.

“Hey @CNN @MSNBC please #StopAiringTrump on live TV, propaganda now have life and death consequences. Stop repeating 2016. Show some respect for #NationalDoctorsDay, Trump accused hospitals of hoarding ventilators and PPE yesterday. #COVID19 #Coronavirustruth,” @denisewu added.

A different user said that she also wished CNN and MSNBC would stop airing Trump’s press briefings because she finds them repulsive. She added that the conferences showed on televisions were “nothing more than another Trump rally.” Meanwhile, another suggested that it’s best to not air Trump because his “misrepresentations and lies are reckless, dangerous and costing lives.”

Meanwhile, many also fired back and attacked those who asked to stop airing Trump. One online user said told the critics to stop watching it because “no one is forcing you to watch.” Another user agreed that those people should stop watching because others like her want to watch the POTUS' briefings to be informed about the issue.
