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.

“Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.”
Couldn’t let it go with a clean apology. And he doesn’t know what the true infection rate is for either country, either.
A fake apology, just like their fake news.
What is "far" higher? Show your math. Besides, is that President Dr. Trump's fault?
The look on Dr Scarf’s face looked like she was enjoying the beat down the commie douche bag was getting
I suggest quarantining reporters until the hysteria subsides.
Not a fan of stories that continue to empower acting President Birx.
I saw this “live”.
What impressed me was not the question but the tone of the so-called reporter. Very hostile and looking to pick a fight.
Fact finding was not the objective.
Trumps duo doc are realizing what it’s like to have someone who has their back
The country with the higher testing rate is going to be the country that shows the higher infection rate....but I am not a genius reporter
[[“Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.”

Our infection rate is higher because we’re testing more- These ‘reporters’ are incapable of common sense i guess
If he didn’t say that, someone would have pointed it out and used it against him...for available data, our infection rate is higher...maybe we need to add kimchi to our diet...nothing like fermented cabbage to cure what ails you...I love it but the people over there smell like it and I don’t like that...
These soyboy “reporters” make me laugh. My niece could kick their asses any time, anywhere. And she’s 12.
Helps when your dad is a Ranger, of course. :-)
Half an apology. And is Trump responsible for the infection rate?
Thank you, that was great.
Hey "reporter", how many people entered the US from China vs. how many entered South Korea from China from, say, Nov-Feb?
Yahoo news is left wing partisan BS
AKA Fake news.
Just go look at their site,ALL anti Trump 100% biased
I visit their financial charts but thats it.
Even the financial info and reports, message boards are gloom and dome crap
Yahoo “news” is based on mother jones, the huffington puffington post and rolling stoned.
RE: Yahoo “news” is based on mother jones, the huffington puffington post and rolling stoned.
Yahoo News is mostly a second source for the mainstream media, which uses the site because of her excellent Search technology.
Yes, Yahoo has her own “reporters”and “journalists” (note the quotes ), but they are mostly of the same political persuasion as the MSM ( but I repeat myself ).
Weak apology and infection may be higher because testing is higher.
