The media spent so long bashing Trump for 1 travel ban from Europe & now look at how restricted travel became. That was one of their most destructive moves, besides spending all of January covering something totally meaningless instead of the epidemic in China. Now as more counties are requiring masks in public, what’s CNN covering? “Unchained presidential tantrum” Truly a media born disaster.
