Why does Trump hold press conferences when he can’t answer a single question without getting offended?
I’m tired of it, someone will ask, “me. President, what’s next in your agenda for dealing with the coronavirus?” And hell cry and cry and cry, “what a mean and nasty question. Do you work for cnn? Your ratings must be horrible! Wahhh!”

It is part of his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He has to be the center of attention at all times even when he has nothing to add.
You have to understand, first of all, that the whole purpose of the daily press conferences is to replace the big rallies that Trump can't have now. They are not so much to keep people informed as they are to get Trump's face on TV looking 'presidential'.
One of Trump's favorite themes is that the media are unfairly beating up on him. He HATES to answer questions that he's not prepared for, or that aren't scripted--just like most Republican presidents in our lifetime. So he does a five-minute question/answer session, and he can waste 2/3 of that time chewing out reporters for being 'nasty'. His fans love it!
Trump can't answer questions without lying. During the Mueller investigation, Trump wanted to testify in his own defense, under oath. So his lawyers held some practice interviews, and what they found is that Trump couldn't stick to the truth even when he was TRYING to! They told him if he ever testified under oath he'd go to prison for sure. So he just ignored every subpoena to appear.
Now he's answering questions without a script, and after all these years he's finally realizing that lies he tells will be exposed immediately by fact-checkers. He finds this just really unfair! Like his lies are the fault of the people asking him questions!
😄 He can't hold anymore rallies.
It's the only way he can campaign.
🤣 Who does that?
If you are tired of it. DON'T LISTEN. I don't and don't grow tired of it.
