The day of his wife's birthday, President Donald Trump decided to forgo a coronavirus briefing - but he didn't log out of his Twitter account.
Sunday was the second straight day Trump had not participated in a White House coronavirus briefing - the task force held a meeting Saturday but no briefing - amid speculation that his extended appearances in those daily events were taking a toll on his approval ratings. The president has clashed with members of the press during those briefings, and, as he had Saturday, he offered stinging rebukes via Twitter of the media for its coverage of the current crisis and his presidency.
Trump started off his Sunday with warm wishes: "Happy Birthday to Melania, our great First Lady!"
