Donald Trump has been described as having a "meltdown" in yesterday's coronavirus press briefing.

When asked how he had handled the crisis, he proceeded to attack the media in addition to playing a video, put together by White House staff, of state governors praising him.

Trump also claimed he had full authority to lift the lockdown in all 50 states, but speaking on CNN this morning, Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo said he would not end the lockdown in his state if Trump ordered him to.

Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this in our weekly US slot.
