Thanks for playing..


The President is under no obligation to answer her accusations in the form of a question.


She'll be lucky if he doesn't revoke her press pass for that stunt.

Why should he bother when it's an obvious straw man set up?

Next.

Very fitting for the "Toddler in chief."

Never an adult moment.

How you supporters excuse this behavior is beyond me. The bar has been really lowered with this guy.
Seriously, the reporters were out of line, he shut it down before it escalated.
You don't speak out of turn, whine and argue. I guess they quit teaching Roberts Rules of Order.
Just FYI Trump is not the only president who has had journalist removed or shut down.

If the reporters are traitors,,, then your mrT is a 5 yr old!

The interpretation of his (possible) responses - so varied - really tells the tale, hm?


See - I don't interpret what he's saying the same as some of you. I don't feel it's partisan. My wife and I argue all the time over who meant what in a text or email.



If he says, "We've done more testing than anyone else" - to me, that's not a competitive statement. It's a response to the press previously blasting him about not doing enough testing. His point being - however much testing we're doing, it's clearly a great deal, because no one is doing as much as we are.



It's not to throw shade at the other countries - it's to point out that the testing industry took the demand seriously, and ramped up the situation as much as humanly possible. If anyone doubts we are doing what we can to ramp up testing - then please point at someplace where they're doing more than we are...and you can't. Because no one is.


Many of you - including the reporter - took that to be competitive. I took it simply to be factual. A statement of the situation. Does anyone disagree that that is, in fact, the situation?


So you are simply unhappy that he stated this fact. You are uncomfortable when anyone points out their advantages or strengths. You feel that "tooting your own horn" leads to bad consequences. I get it. But YOU must also get - that you might be wrong - and that this is ENTIRELY a matter of opinion - mine versus yours - and NO ONE can be proven right - which is why that type of question does not belong in a Virus briefing.

Do you really think the citizens of this Country want to see our President treated like this?! It is disgusting and I am appalled at their childish behavior. Everyone should be.
How funny & ironic your first sentence is. This president hasn't shown any respect for anyone since he became president. He bully's anyone that doesn't agree with him & publicly humiliates anyone he himself has hired if they disagree. We have seen this time & time again.

There is NOTHING these reporters asked him that should have triggered the reaction he gave.
What is appalling is Trump supporters that denigrate anyone asking questions that we have a right to know but, will give Trump a pass & even agree he should be doing just what he does.

According to the way YOU think, if Trump can dish it out he should be able to handle it,right?
