Reporter Objects to Trump Wearing ‘USA’ Hat During Press Conference, Gets Destroyed on Twitter
President Donald Trump addressed the nation once again on Saturday morning on the latest developments in the coronavirus outbreak. During a White House press briefing, the president noted additional measures the federal government is taking to keep Americans safe during the national emergency. He even noted that he had taken a COVID-19 test to see if he had contracted the deadly virus after being in proximity with at least one individual who tested positive for the illness.
In light of all the news, a White House reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Chris Megerian, decided to focus on what really matters: President Donald Trump wore a “USA” baseball cap at the press briefing. No, we are not joking. Megerian actually raised this as an issue.
“Trump is at the White House addressing a national emergency over a global pandemic while wearing a baseball hat you can buy on his campaign website,” wrote the journalist in a tweet.

When confronted on the absurdity of his tweet, Megerian defended himself by replying: “I’m not the one who put a campaign hat on the president’s head.” . . .
By Saturday afternoon, Megerian’s tweet was “ratioed,” which is when the number of negative replies to a certain tweet (11,500 in this case) vastly outnumber its “likes” (3,200). (Read more from “Reporter Objects to Trump Wearing ‘USA’ Hat During Press Conference, Gets Destroyed on Twitter” HERE)
