Donald Trump complained about the entertainment value of COVID-19 and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the White House, in a call with campaign staff on Monday.The president claimed that Americans are getting “tired of” hearing about the coronavirus, which has killed nearly 220,000 Americans to date — more than any other nation in the world.

Trump also dismissed Fauci’s coronavirus response as a “disaster,” though the president himself has spent several months downplaying the science and attempting to wish the virus away.“People are tired of COVID.

I have these huge rallies,” Trump said Monday. “People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these.

Final Trump-Biden debate marked by clashes but less chaos

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After a raucous first debate led organizers to introduce a mute button, the second and final meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden was a downright civil affair.Whether because of that button this time or the terrible reviews in the first debate — especially for Trump — the candidates interrupted each other far less frequently Thursday night, even as they clashed on issues including the coronavirus, crime and global warming.While Trump and Biden responded to the other's answers — shaking their heads disapprovingly or smiling, in the case of Biden — the two largely avoided speaking over each other.Trump, in particular, was on his best behavior, especially early on, and especially when it

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump portrays the hundreds of people arrested nationwide in protests against racial injustice as violent urban left-wing radicals. But an Associated Press review of thousands of pages of court documents tell a different story.Very few of those charged appear to be affiliated with highly organized extremist groups, and many are young suburban adults from the very neighborhoods Trump vows to protect from the violence in his reelection push to win support from the suburbs.Attorney General William Barr has urged his prosecutors bring federal charges on protesters who cause violence and has suggested that rarely used sedition charges could apply.
