		</div><p>President Donald Trump says his press briefings are <em>“not worth the time and effort”</em> as his administration prepares to adjust his public presence.</p>
<p>Tweeting on Saturday, one of the few days in which he has not held a daily briefing since the start of the outbreak, Mr Trump said: <em>“What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, &; then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately”</em>.</p>
<p>The president’s tweet came two days after he used a briefing to muse about the injection of chemical disinfectants, drawing warnings from manufacturers and the nation’s top medical professionals.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, &; then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately. They get record ratings, &; the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time &; effort!</p>
<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1254168730898173953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 25, 2020</a></p></blockquote>

<p>The White House claimed that Mr Trump was misinterpreted, though the president later asserted he was speaking <em>“sarcastically.”</em></p>
<p>For the first time, Mr Trump cut off his daily coronavirus task force briefing on Friday without taking any questions from reporters.</p>
<p>The briefings often stretch well beyond an hour and feature combative exchanges between Mr Trump and reporters.</p>
<p>The president was angry after a day of punishing headlines on Friday, largely about his comment at Thursday’s briefing wondering if it would be helpful to inject disinfectant into people to fight the coronavirus.</p>
<p>That idea drew loud warnings from health experts who said the idea was dangerous and sharp criticism from Democrats.</p>
<p>Mr Trump did answer questions from reporters earlier on Friday and claimed that his suggestion about disinfectant had been <em>“sarcastic.”</em></p>
