Only 30% trust what Trump is saying about the coronavirus

from the first article linked to below:

“New polling from Quinnipiac University found that only 30% of America’s registered voters say they trust the information that President Trump is providing about the coronavirus….Conversely, 67% of registered voters do not trust Trump’s Covid-19 claims. “

Since people don’t trust Trump, the media should give much less coverage to his lies and more to scientists . Trump says very little worth listening to. It’s just lies and racism.
