It was an extremely important question. The fact that Trump has turned this into a global competition will come back and bite us in the butt. Scientists around the world are racing to produce a vaccine and they are collaborating like never before. But Trump’s America First policy means that in the end if other counties develop a vaccine, Americans might not have equal access to it. All because of Trump’s stupid, stupid need to turn every last thing into a huge competition.
I’m glad she called him out on it!
Considering that we are giving aid out to other countries in the crisis, your position is unrealistic. This is a global threat. It's in the interest of every country to want this virus wiped off the planet especially since every country does business and international travel with the US.
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?
The reporter claims Trump made a racially insensitive answer (Isn't China in the middle of the COVID dilemma) and many see this as a dumb question.
Stop carrying Trump's water for him. You'll never have a bucket big enough. Many Presidents have faced tougher questions by much smarter people than today's press pandering halfwits.
It wasn't a tough question. It was an attack baiting the president to talk bad about himself. He's not playing their game. They trash him no matter what he does or says. EVERY SINGLE THING. Do you think this president has never done one positive thing for this country??
Just who should he have addressed his answer, too?
Yet, it was the, Why direct your answer to me?. reporter who was the snowflake. Duh! Said reporter is the one who asked the question. Just who should he have addressed his answer, too?
President Trump has been attacked by the MSM since before he was elected, 90%-95% of news articles written about him are negative, but yeah let’s blame the victim and call him a “snowflake”.
Just so happened that the reporter asking the question was Asian. He responded appropriately, to the reporter who asked the question. After responding - I am paraphrasing - ...there are thousands of people dying everyday in countries all over the world...you should ask China.
This is entirely consistent with President Trump's emphasis on China's culpability. Coincidentally, George Soros in an interview with German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine, billionaire George Soros criticized China for its autocratic regime, arguing the U.S. should not work too closely with the country.
The CCP and they are truly autocratic, dictatorial, iron-fisted controlling their county and citizenry is who the world is now and rightly should be concerned about, on many, many fronts. Not just their responsibility regards the covid-19 virus.

What if Sylvia Poggioli of NPR had asked the question? Would he say "Ask Italy"? He was race-baiting.
My comment didn't imply that I thought he was purposely racist.......I was addressing that the young lady's heritage was apparent by her eyes alone ---it is what it is.
I'm no Trump fan. I don't know if he was meaning to be a jerk or just accidentally tripped into it.
And he could have easily said -- of course I didn't mean it to be personal ---- next question -- answer the next reporter and get out.
But his defense demeanor is childish, it is.
Why should he have to pull his punches on China just because the reporter asking the question was Asian?
Does her ethnicity automatically give China a pass?
It was a set up from the get go, which is why she pulled her mask down on her second question.
The reporter claims Trump made a racially insensitive answer (Isn't China in the middle of the COVID dilemma) and many see this as a dumb question.
But the reporter was asking Trump about a statement TRUMP MADE.......instead of answering or responding to that -- he brought up 'BLAME CHINA'. Was he purposely racist --- I don't know -- but she was Asian and for her it may have seemed that way.
China is not in the middle of our govt..'s approach to resolving the problem of COVID in our country.
YES -- China is the start of all of this. And yes we may have to address that issue at a time when there can be diplomacy, processes, procedures, opportunities to address China directly. Throwing out blame game nonsense in a press briefing where he is asked to answer to his continuous misinformation does nothing to really address China's role in all of this.
It's chilidsh.
She was pushing him on HIS misinformation -- not on what role each country has played in the spread.
