President Donald Trump’s return to daily White House press briefings during the coronavirus crisis has generated massive ratings.

The New York Times reports nearly 12.2 million people watched Trump’s briefing on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, according to Nielsen — plus millions more on streaming sites, and local news networks.

That puts him in the same ratings territory as Monday Night Football, typically the most popular program for a Monday.

Millions of Americans have made the president’s daily briefings must-watch television since the coronavirus hit, especially since many of them are in quarantine.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has followed a similar strategy, turning his grim but compassionate daily updates on the fight against the virus into an event for people on the East Coast.

This is probably doing more to help his re-election than anything else he could do, including his rallies.

Keep it going, Mr. Trump.

He has put the journalists(?) in their place a couple of times; that only reinforces his claim about fake news and being treated unfairly by the media.
