Ik bedoel natuurlijk niet letterlijk Twitter oid. Het gaat mij erom dat Trump alleen maar negatief word afgeschilderd. De media grijpt letterlijk alles aan om zijn woorden of daden te verdraaien.
Er zijn genoeg media die simpelweg de feiten vermelden. Dat die feiten geen positief beeld geven van Trump is dan natuurlijk niet de schuld van de media.
Zie bijvoorbeeld dit stuk in de NY Times:

A Complete List of Trump’s Attempts to Play Down Coronavirus
President Trump made his first public comments about the coronavirus on Jan. 22, in a television interview from Davos with CNBC’s Joe Kernen. The first American case had been announced the day before, and Kernen asked Trump, “Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?”
The president responded: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
By this point, the seriousness of the virus was becoming clearer. It had spread from China to four other countries. China was starting to take drastic measures and was on the verge of closing off the city of Wuhan.
In the weeks that followed, Trump faced a series of choices. He could have taken aggressive measures to slow the spread of the virus. He could have insisted that the United States ramp up efforts to produce test kits. He could have emphasized the risks that the virus presented and urged Americans to take precautions if they had reason to believe they were sick. He could have used the powers of the presidency to reduce the number of people who would ultimately get sick.
He did none of those things......

Ik bewonder Trump niet, ik weet alleen dat er steeds meer afspeelt wat niet kan. Doe je ogen een beetje open, en onderzoek misschien wat voordat je zelf ergens een standpunt over inneemt.
Deze vind ik heel grappig. De beste die ik vandaag gehoord heb, tot nog toe.
