Trump should have finished be a bit earlier. Like right when they started asking questions.

Those Washington press corps...revoke all of their privileges now. Every last one of them.

Invite the “friendlies” by themselves. Not alone, just to make sure their stories are straight.

Weijia Jiang is an angry Trump hater. CBS hired her because she hates this country and Trump. Trump is angry with her and the media for what they’re doing. They give him credit for NOTHING! They rip apart his every word! They ask questions not for information but to trap him.

The left has shifted to overt attack mode. From now to the election it will be blaming Trump for the deaths. Every single leftist will join in, assisted by a compliant media. The dems will open hearings on the virus for the purpose of blaming Trump.

It’s vicious now. It’s going to get even worse.

why does he even take questions from these CNN reporters? Is there some rule? It doesn’t play well with women and independents when he (rightly )chews them out. The MSM plays it for their benefit-just don’t call on them for gawds sake

Exactly, CBS is clearly encouraging Jiang to be rude and hateful towards Trump, that makes it obvious the media is in full attack campaign mode for the Dems. It will get even worse.

It’s not a podium, it’s a lectern. Just saying.

The PRESS can compare the US unfavorably to other countries, and Trump is not allowed to respond with a counter-argument? There is something wrong with that?

wish Pres would say “OK- that’s it folks- you can thank so and so for ruining this press conference for all of you who had legitimate questions- be sure to thank them on the way out for spoiling yet another press conference for you”

Every question the MSM asks in these press Q&A sessions basically amounts to, “Mr. President, is it difficult being such a racist *sshole?” “Mr. President, isn’t it true that you should be imprisoned for murder simply on principle?” “Mr. President, all of America hates you and wishes you dead. Your response?”

And Trump is supposed to just stand there and answer as if they were serious journalists asking serious questions.

This time he just said, “Aw, to hell with every last one of you.”

RE:” He often says the United States is doing more testing than any other country, for example. She pressed the issue and asked, “Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives?”

Losing lives ‘EVERY DAY” ???

When did that start?

Did anyone die during Obama’s 8 years?

She asked a why question with no information value. She is the same woman he had to tell to keep her voice down.

In my opinion and based on her history at briefings, writings, and sensitivities Jiang is a Chinese loyalist. Regardless of her US upbringing, and further using a hyphenated identity marker, as Chinese-American, indicates her loyalties are divided at best and favorable to China otherwise.

This land is the ‘United States’ of America....not any hyphenated race or otherwise named country in America.

The idea is to be sure to insult the President in thier questions...furthering the desire of particuliar members of the press seeking a story directly about them (in this case obvious Liang)....thus establishing a headline for their network to gain ratings and revenue.

After this briefing entire networks across the states and internationally ran this ‘story’ as a headliner. Now she’s gal of the hour and China is smiling.

Reporters apparently don't mind self-seeking reporters making a story about themselves, or that these individual popularity seekers make them look like rude and inconsiderate flap-jaws for doing so.

This happening certainly appeared to be a tag team effort, no doubt orchestrated beforehand and via cell phone coordination with those not on the green.

The Dem/media have ‘weaponized’ the briefings as they have everything relating to opportunity to attack this administration.

I don’t recall, I’d like to know more about her parents though. I would not be surprised if there isn’t some China pressure on her family because they have relatives still in China.

Weijia Jiang is a Red ChiCom mole. Probably planted years ago. There are ChiCom agents everywhere.
