  1. “Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?!” BECAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE WHO ASKED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. It matters where the disease comes from for an exceptionally valid reason – because accountability needs to be applied and the individuals and organizations responsible NEED to be punished.

  2. Imagine Trudeau Freeland or Tam in a press conference like that, wonder how that would turn out

    1. They feel self-entitled and to ask questions that are meant to be accusatory. Best thing he did was simply end it and walk off.

    2. It is no education at all. She was very unrespectful and ironic. Trump did right ending issue.

  3. Why not just say “It is not a competition, I just want to acknowledge that we are working very hard testing our citizens.” ???

    1. Because it IS a competition to Trump. That is why you see the half second pause when he is looking for a response. He is not wired to help Americans. Only himself. Even a 5 year old could answer that question better than he did. Trump cares not for the fallen.

    2. It makes sense if you watch a documentary about his life. He spent his whole life trying to get his father’s acceptance, so he became extremely competitive, but only towards his own goals.

  4. I never knew bone spur treatment could lead to tremendously thin skin and severe mental side affects

  5. Trump handles this so poorly, but the reporter doesn’t help AT ALL by immediately assuming his comments are racially charged, against her specifically.

    1. Trump and many have come to expect this type of behavior from reporters,its been like this since he became POTUS. Nothing has changed. But Trump is turning the tables and many agree with his stance.He’s taking control.

  6. Her question should have been why do you keep saying America has the best testing when that is demonstrably not true.
