President Trump was in no mood for gotcha questions during Monday's press conference in the Rose Garden. Trump was first asked by CBS White House correspondent Weijia Jiang why he views the ability to test people for the Wuhan coronavirus as a "global competition" as people in America are "still losing their lives" every day.
"You have said many times that the U.S. Is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is it global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we are still seeing more cases every day?" Jiang asked.
"Well, they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world and maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me. Ask China that question, okay. When you asked them that question, you make it a very unusual answer," Trump replied.
Jiang, who is originally from China, then asked, "Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?"
"I'm not saying it specifically to anybody. I’m saying that to anyone who would ask a nasty question like that," Trump replied.
Jiang insisted she did not ask a nasty question.
"Why does it matter," she pressed.
Trump then did not want to answer questions from CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins after calling on her, with Collins pushing back.
"I have two questions, but you pointed to me," Collins said. "But you called on me."
"I did and you didn't respond and now I'm calling on the young lady in the back," Trump said.
With Collins continuing to protest, Trump then decided to end the press conference and walk away from the podium.
This is Identity Politics the Left Media is using in their game to cause President Trump to commit a mortal sin. They used beautiful young ladies for their attack, like sexy Jane Fonda sitting on an anti-aircraft gun used by North Vietnamese soldiers against American planes. It is all for an image to promote the narrative that President Trump was derelict in the handling of the plague. If Trump was derelict, other nations were also derelict. It is a very dangerous game which the Left Media will lose big. And China will be the ultimate loser.
It is sad that the Left Media has been able to indoctrinate these young ladies for their purposes. These girls will realize some day that they prostituted themselves for a demonic ideology and how it may have ruined their future.
How many times did Jonathan Karl from ABC take the President to task because we weren’t testing per capita as many as South Korea?
Today he questioned Trump’s assertion that we have enough tests that anyone who needed a test could get one. He, apparently, is of the opinion that everyone who “wants” a test should be able to get one. Someone should explain to him the difference between a “want” and a “need.”
It’s no wonder Trump has to explain how many tests are being done. The media doesn’t understand that not everyone needs to be tested.
LOL
i remember when cuomo the older died and there were a bunch of Italian slurs on the thread.
I didn’t cry like a little girl. I think I laughed.
It’s not my proudest post. But i’m sick of seeing Chinese media folks attack Trump OVER and OVER and OVER
if china was so GOOD why did you or your ancestors leave????!!?
They are dying to find something REAL to complain about.
Well I gave them what they wanted.
As for the hypocrites on this board who won’t think twice about calling blacks and peurto ricans names, I can honestly say your thoughts or opinions about me mean nothing.
buona sera!! (that’s good evening in Italian :)
Tucker had Trey on tonight. He grilled him about his past statements.
“This is why Trump will win reelection. He doesn’t take crap.”
My feelings as well!
When that one reporter asked why he was addressing his comment to her, I wish he had said, “because you’re Chinese, are you not?” Take their breath and fun away from them..
“He needs to rip them new one and show no mercy, but that is not in his character.”
You’ve got that right! ANY good Leader PRAISES in PUBLIC and CRITICIZES in PRIVATE.
Well, unless you had a TV show in the past where you can tell people publicly, ‘You’re Fired!’
*SMIRK*
Love, love, LOVE, Our President! :)
I am very proud of his restraint
“Why not ask the first 20 ordinary Americans if they would like to be part of a press conference, like a mini-rally?”
Great idea! He HAS the Bully Pulpit! Send him an e-mail. I love this! :)
Shows the decline in journalism when a WH reporter has to read the biased question from a text message...#FAKE NEWS
“She kept talking as if she was an insolent teenager sassing her mother. “
Good. He needs to treat them like students who misbehave and you end their fun because someone can’t control themselves. Do it a few times and they may be more respectful.
If a reporter can’t come up with their own questions then they’re useless to their employer.
WH reporters are liking shit-flinging howler monkeys.
Maslow had a good list of needs. The first two are physiology and safety.
