Trump reportedly told aides he fears journalists will purposefully try to infect him with coronavirus on Air Force One

President Trump puts on a brave face when talking about the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, but things are reportedly pretty different behind closed doors.

Vanity Fair reports that Trump — a self-professed germaphobe — is "melting down over this." Perhaps not shockingly, he's focused on the media, in particular, one person close to the White House said. That reportedly includes him telling aides last week that he was concerned journalists would purposefully contract COVID-19 in an attempt to infect him on Air Force One.

Another source painted an image more in line with Trump's public reaction to the virus, as well, telling Vanity Fair he reportedly wants the Justice Department to "open an investigation of the media for market manipulation" as he tries to stave off, or at least provide a more optimistic outlook for, the plummeting stock market.

Well, when rabid liberals have made public displays and announcements that they want to cut off his head, blow up the white house and seek out Republicans to infect them intentionally...is it really hard to imagine?

If I were him, I would be thinking the same thing and therefore they would not be getting on Air Force One.

Try being a judge or a juror that Trump has slandered and death threats prevail as a result

He had no problem being with Rep. Doug Collins who was exposed. And now Trump is meeting with dozens of people today on how to fix the Markets, not how to fix the Virus.
Trump is worried about one thing. The stock market. And making the rich, richer.
Alex Azar could not answer this morning when asked "How many people have been tested". He had no clue.
Trump and this administration have completely mishandled this and continue to do so..

Paranoid? Sure, we have "journalists" and governing officials blaming him for the spread of the plague and responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands, blaming him for hurricanes, worldwide wildfires, rising sea levels,etc.

These people with TDS cause great increases in youth anxiety with their horrible predictions.

There is nothing they won't stoop to.

This is a MSM trick to occupy your mind while they try to steal an election. The death toll in US right now is like 27. The flu kills between 10,000 and 60,000 per year. So that tells me it’s probably not that big of a deal to healthy individuals. China has so many deaths because they don’t have the healthcare we do and they also have 1.3 billion people, so their death toll will be higher. Our heroin and drug overdose epidemic is far worse then the coronavirus will ever dream to be. So maybe everybody should just live their normal life and this will pass when we stop giving the media attention.

Making a news article about what "might" happen? Calling for investigations of media manipulating markets?

This is the guy that champions the battle on fake news and right then and there manufactures two fake news headlines?

The stunning cognitive dissonance.
