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, theyre losing their lives everywhere in the world and maybe thats a question you should ask China. Dont 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. Im 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.
Bravo!!!
I will cry like a little girl any time i want to. I’m sorry I had something to say about somebody slandering racial characteristics. It isn’t becoming. And it did get deleted, and I’m glad I had the chance to be holier than thou about stupidity.
Yes, exactly.
All that matters is that he address the country.
He should do that his way, without idiot reporters sitting in front of him.
Good Lord.
Few weeks back: Reporter: “Why is the US doing so poorly compared to the rest of the world with testing?”
Today: Reporter: “Why do you consider this a race or competition with the rest of the world with testing?”
Insufferable dunces.
The ever-hostile press just can’t let the president take a positive view on anything related to the virus.
It is time for ALL AMERICANS to contact CBS and tell them to find a new White House, REPORTER...or pull their pass to all WHITE HOUSE EVENTS..
THAT FOREIGN REPORTER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK WITH RESPECT TO A SITTING POTUS... she needs her pass pulled...she should have lost it a month ago...
No way would she have gotten by with that type of conduct with BARRY HUSSEIN...he owned the media...and we need to have that changed and soon...time to grind BHO and hold his feet to the fire...
AND TIME WE DO THE SAME TO FORMER CONGRESS MEMBER, TREY GOWDY...he is a big disappointment and I’ll no longer hold any respect for him..
The transcript of Trump’s reply to one of the two China connected CBS WH correspondents... is wrong.
..... That’s a question you should ask of China.
“.......maybe thats a question you should ask China. Dont ask me. Ask China that question, okay. When you asked them that question, you make it a very unusual answer,” Trump replied.”...... actually said: When you ask them that question you MAY GET a very unusual answer”.....
That is what he said, rightfully pissed off at the chinese agitprop employee of SEE B. S. The other one is not oriental- but her husband is a LOBBYIST FOR THE Chinese government. No cheeet!. A freaking chi-com lobbyist. And obamaumaoite.
Send all the leftist media away.
Replace press conferences with Fireside Chats.
Simple answer from Trump :
I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT AMERICANS LIVES, UNLIKE YOU FRAUDULENT FAUX-JOURNALISTS WHO *ONLY* THINK ABOUT MAKING A BUCK.
Weijia Jiang , if you don’t like it, why don’t you go back to China and ask those type of questions of your Communist Leaders.
Love it! He won’t take their crap, and they can’t stand it!
You go, Mr President.
He could revoke their press passes but not sure why he doesnt.
All the questions were gotcha questions, disgusting.
It was over when Jiang pulled down her mask to make her chinese ancestry clear and tried to make Trump’s answer racist, and the other bimbo deffered to that rather than ask her own question.
I remember Sean Spicer taking questions from OAN news and was hoping that was all Trump would call on and F the rest of the enemedia.
Offsetting penalties. Orientals and Italians are probably tied in number of insulting slur names. So he can say it anytime me wants... but you can’t.
Don’t know why he calls on the women. They are particularly nasty.
She does this because she gets so much approval from the nuts on her Twitter account. Crazy.
