If the Trump administration actually had something major to announce in regard to the treatment of the coronavirus, why aren't any of the medical experts attending this press conference? And why wait? Why not announce it immediately?
Here's Trump Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany hyping their latest distraction on Twitter:

If Donald had something truly major to announce, he would wait 24 hours and announce it at his otherwise dreary RNC. God knows, that sad spectacle can use all the surprises it can get.

Trump’s press conference tomorrow must be to pimp the Oleander crap. That way he can say the FDA approved his poisoning of political opponents.
