At Sunday's White House coronavirus task force briefing, CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang asked President Trump why he didn't "warn" people that the virus was spreading while he was holding MAGA rallies.
WEIJIA JIANG, CBS NEWS: Since you shared with us something else that you saw on TV today. I have a question about something you said Thursday. You said you were angry because information about the virus should have been told to us earlier and a lot sooner. "People knew it was coming and people did not want to talk about it."Many Americans are saying the exact same thing about you, that you should have warned them the virus was spreading like wildfire through the month of February instead of holding rallies with thousands of people. Why did you wait so long to warn them and why did you not have social distancing until March 16th?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Who are you with?
JIANG: I'm Weijia Jiang with CBS News.
TRUMP: So if you look at what I did in terms of cutting off or banning China from coming in.
JIANG: Chinese nationals. By the way, a lot of Americans are also nationals of China.
TRUMP: Just relax. We cut it off. .....
JIANG: When you issued the ban, the virus was already here.
TRUMP: You know how many people when I issued the ban -- how many cases of virus were in the United States when I issued the ban? Do you know the number?

Wrong word. In Chinese it’s pronounced “unt”.
I could have answered his question
When Trump issued the ban on TRAVEL FROM CHINA ( any nationality) there were 7 cases of WuFlu in the US, all originating from China
She should have her press pass pulled for incompetence or malevolence
WuFlu in the US

I want to punch that face of that smarmy punk reporter both sides of that dark beard as a punching bag.
“Asshoe”
Not watching briefings anymore. President & panel should give necessary info & leave. No fake media anymore...
I live 10m from CVG airport, an international pilot said that 10 jumbo jets from China flew into the NTC airports daily until PDJT stopped the flights on 1/31
Another exhibit: This time from Judy Woodruff @ PBS
d**khead in Chinese?
Trump got testy the other day when another ‘reporter’ repeatedly talking over him -
Trump threatened he could leave the room, and the rest of the WH news pool can ask this ‘reporter’ questions instead.
===> +++ and I would dearly see it happening on live tv.
Furthermore besides the possibility of Iraqi WMDs
being shifted to Syria, and the NYT nuke findings, Qaddafi, an arguably more unstable character, turned his real WMDs over
in fear of being toppled.
Mme. Bobblehead and the rateared purple lipped dogeater
and their feckless EU pals screwed him literally
and figuratively anyway
This China doll has been on Trumps tip
for months over N Korea etc etc.
Remember this recent fine whine:
This morning a White House official referred to #Coronavirus as the “Kung-Flu” to my face. Makes me wonder what they’re calling it behind my back.
B*tch obviously went in with guns blazing intending a gotcha moment. Like in the movie “Jeremiah Johnson” they come at Trump one at a time intending to make a name for themselves, but the attempts are in vain. Who will be next?
Looks like ace reporter Weijia Jiang didn’t know what is going after all par for a reporter.
“Judy Woodruff, are you still beating your wife?”
what does China call the western Yankees they said created this virus?
CommieGirl Weijia Jiang (D-XiBS “news”) vomits her Master Xi’s morning FAX talking points at President Trump.
Hard to tell the difference.
