Donald Trump must’ve been lying again when he said he wouldn’t deliver any more White House “briefings,” saying they aren’t worth his “time and effort.”

So what does the president do today? He canceled the planned session in the Rose Garden to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, then he stood before us — yet again! — to deliver another rant.

I have to say it, but it’s so patently obvious to me. The folks whose time is being wasted are those Americans who wait for something constructive, informative and useful to come from the president of the United States.

So, with that I will conclude that it doesn’t matter one tiny bit to me whether these events are worth Donald Trump’s “time and effort.” What ought to matter most is that they aren’t worth American citizens’ time to hear what he says or the effort it takes for us to make sense of any of it.
