During the questioning a Yahoo reporter asked President Trump why the US is lagging behind other countries in testing for the coronavirus.
Dr. Birx told the reporter that the US testing is similar to the European countries who are suffering from the ongoing pandemic.
Then later in the presser Dr. Birx interrupted the president to correct the Yahoo reporter.
This was BRUTAL!
Dr. Birx: To the Yahoo reporter I just want to make clear that South Korea’s testing was 11 per 100,000 and we’re at 17 per 100,000.
That’s when President Trump jumped in: Are you going to apologize, Yahoo? That’s why you’re Yahoo. Nobody knows who you are. Go ahead. That’s why nobody knows who you are. Including me. Go ahead. You oughtta get your facts right before making a statement like you did… Well, your facts are wrong.
ZING!
This was epic Trump and it’s why they hate him.
They can’t control him.
UPDATE– The hack reporter – Hunter Walker – apologized.
We have passed South Korea in the number of tests conducted per capita. I misread the mobile version of this chart and am sorry about that @realDonaldTrump . Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.

I would trust the National Enquirer before I would anything Yahoo reported. Really not sure why they call themselves reporters. They just sit at a desk and make stuff up.
These a-holes implant the agenda by the fake question. They will note the denial and twist it into that their question was just and their “fact” supports it and this will blow through the fake news media,social media,websites and blogs. This is the same as the 50,000 dead talking point.
ATTABOY!
AKA Fake news.
Just go look at their site,ALL anti Trump 100% biased
I go to read the comments on Yahoo news stories, 75% pro Trump posts most of the time. There was a story on there last night written by two women who are terrified that gun stores are open during this lock down, yet all of the posted comments were pro 2nd Amendment. The posters were having none of the nonsense presented in the article.
Remember that Yahoo is owned by Verizon - but i dont think that they manage them to actively or encourage them to be political
On the other hand ATT owns CNN (Stephenson former CEO) was insistent that they were a crown jewel
No other Pube-elected President would ever take on the FAKES like Trump! They’d cower and apologize to the fakers! GOD BLESS TRUMP!!
“Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.”
He actually said that? I was going to ask, “How stupid IS he?” but ... well ... you know.
Really?
Can't we identify the "hot spots" by hospital reports as people with symptoms go to get tested? Do we really need "robust" testing of everyone to find the so-called hot spots?

Give then hell sir.
A lie travels around the world before the truth can get its pants on.
Is Hunter Walker Team Hillary’s Latest Hit Man?
[Search domain www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/12/30/is-hunter-walker-team-hillarys-latest-hit-man/] Dec 30, 2014. Hunter is a native of Brooklyn, New York. He holds a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. When Hillary was taking heat over low turnout for her speech at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall in December of 2014, enter Hunter Walker to let people know it wasn’t Hillary’s fault. ...
I just saw that, too. Isn’t that WHY we have hospital reports? It’s probably good that The Five is social distancing, or Jesse would have strangled Juan by now.
“Early & often” testing (late Jan./Feb./early March) is where the USA failed...testing for COVID-19 “active infections” is only needed at hospital ER’s & doctors’ offices now...antibody testing is needed now. The early US testing fail (CDC & FDA) resulted in 5 deaths per 1 million pop. in S. Korea and 177 deaths per 1 million pop. in the USA so far.
My daughter said it’s like comparing a watermelon to a grape.
Welcome to FR.
“I suggest quarantining reporters until the hysteria subsides.”
I suggest having all of the reporters wear masks. Masks built around ball gags.
Jerk should apologize for mis-using the term “per capita”, instead of ‘per 100,000’.
Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.
IOW, not an apology, and the guy's LYING again.
