'Keep your voice down': Trump has another confrontation with a reporter at coronavirus briefing

CBS reporter Weijia Jiang confronts Trumpenstein.

4/20/20
President Donald Trump once again got into a confrontation with a reporter during a White House news briefing after being asked Sunday why he did not tell the American people sooner about the threat posed by the coronavirus. CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang asked Trump about a comment he made at a briefing on Thursday, where he said he was "angry" because the truth about the COVID-19 outbreak "should have been told to us a lot sooner." "People knew it was happening and people didn't want to talk about it. I don't know why, but we're going to get to the bottom of it," Trump said Thursday. When asked, he declined to say if he was referring to China. "Many Americans are saying the exact same thing about you, that you should've warned them the virus was spreading like wildfire through the month of February instead of holding rallies with thousands of people. Why did you wait so long to warn them?" Jiang asked Sunday.

"Who are you with?" Trump asked twice as Jiang continued to speak. Jiang has covered the Trump White House for CBS News for nearly two years and has traveled with the president several times. During an April 3 news briefing, he told Jiang, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself" and said she asked her question about his son-in-law Jared Kushner in what he said was "a very nasty tone." After Jiang identified herself, Trump pointed to his restrictions on travel from China, which were announced Jan. 31. Jiang cut the president off to point out the restrictions "only applied to Chinese nationals" and not Americans returning from China. Jiang told Trump that when he issued the travel ban, the virus was already in the U.S.

Trump is so accustomed to and spoiled by the softball questions he receives from FOX that he gets flustered and angry when real reporters actually do their jobs. Especially female journalists such as Weijia Jiang and Paula Reid.

The control freak and misogynistic Trump just doesn't like to see strong women directly challenge him in public. It chips away at that false "macho" image he so carefully cultivates.

That sob reporter implied Trump purposely did nothing to prevent covid-19.

The question is, what side is Jiang on?
 
our President is a 12yo punk.
 
Trump should not have to answer any questions.

He should only receive praise and adulation at all times for he is Donald J. Trump.

The greatest President that ever was or ever will be, he knows more about everything than any other person on Earth for he is the Knower of All Things, Master of All The Arts and Sciences, Master of All The Beasts of the Land and the Fish in the Sea, Born Amid the Shining Sun and The Glowing Moon Below a Flock of Cranes and a Rainbow that Heralded His Arrival Upon This Earth to Lead Us All To Prosperity and Happiness.

DO NOT QUESTION THE DEAR LEADER!

Glory Upon His Name And That Of His Glorious Family!

One thing that genuinely does mystify me, with no snark: Trump is one of the least masculine, least adult people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women, terrified of more powerful men.
I am at a loss about why his base sees him as manly or strong. - Tom Nichols via Twitter

Basically.

They're dumb as ****.

It's that simple, over the decades, right wing media and divisive politicians have created an alternative reality for these people and you can see it, in the middle of a deadly pandemic not only is Trump still acting like a clown, but so are his supporters, it's mental and it shows the country is in deep, deep trouble, a country this hamstrung by such a massive portion of the population that is this stupid and this misguided is just not capable of staying stable in the long term.

I mean these are people so dumb, that they go into a voting booth time after time after time and vote for politicians that promise to take healthcare and social safety nets away from them in order to give billionaires and corporations just a little more and actually convince them while they do it, that it'll magically make their life better.

You can't reason with that kind of stupid.

So what did he do besides his completely porous "travel ban"?

I saw him wishing real hard, for weeks...

Hopefully not yours. That sob trump failed at his first real test of his presidency. Bitch and moan all you want but the death toll is still climbing from this hoax. Idiots.

You can't refute the point, so you do as you and other Trump supporters amost always do, you insult the poster by suggesting they are just getting too worked up because they dare point out that a president should be able to answer tough questions without throwing a tantrum.

Your act is stale. Get a new one.

Do you think Trump should have banned Americans from returning home? That's a serious criticism?

The mindless dolts he calls his base think if he curses, calls people names and puffs out his chest he's a tough guy fighting for them against the dreaded libs. Good for the woman reporter. I for one am sick of trump playing the victim card all the time. Boo hoo, I don't like the way she talked to me, I'm not helping governors who are not appreciative enough, boo hoo, I'm such victim, they pay me no respect. Mr. counterpuncher doesn't like being counter punched himself. He thinks if he cuts off people and talks louder his points are more valid. Wimpy example of a human being. He is a disgrace to america.

Oh look, someone who actually thinks it would have been a good idea to strand Americans in a country where the virus was running rampant.
