Briefings were halted after Thursday when Trump suggested injecting disinfectants might be a treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus.
The Trump White Supremacist House on Monday ended daily coronavirus task force briefings after President Brainworms suggested to Americans that injecting bleach would cure coronavirus, but the shameless fusterclucks said the disinformation sessions will resume later in the week as they attempt to shift our focus from the ever-worsening COVID-19 pandemic to what they call the "economic reopening phase."

"But I would not read into that anything that said we see them as negative because in fact we think that they have been a very positive, helpful opportunity for the president to speak to the American people," she said outside the White House.
The briefings, which can often stretch to two hours, have featured U.S. health experts who give updates on the federal government's efforts to fight the virus outbreak that has killed more than 54,000 Americans.
In more recent weeks they have also become a platform for Trump, who is seeking re-election in November, to put forth his own theories on the coronavirus and potential cures, or to attack his political enemies.
Monday's briefing, listed on the president's official schedule at 5 p.m., will not be held, McEnany said. Instead, Trump will hold a press availability as he meets with chief executives and industry leaders at the White House.
