An episodic resumption of press conferences with Trump that conflicts with a journalist of Asian descent and leaves.
It has been fifteen days since Donald Trump resumed the usual White House press conference, but the US president. USA He made sure that the “resumption” would provoke him again and that he would leave before the end.
With a large American flag and the slogan “The United States is the first in the world to be tested,” Trump tried to partially restore his relationship with the press, but he probably did worse when he tried to answer a journalist’s question racist.
The reason was a question from CBS-based Chinese journalist Wenya Ziang, who asked the president why he constantly announces that the United States is doing better than anyone else in terms of evidence, while the Americans continue to die.
“What does it matter; because there is this global competition for you, while Americans are losing their jobs every day and there are more and more cases,” asked the journalist.
Trump’s response was: “People are dying all over the world. Maybe that’s a question you have to ask in China, don’t ask me. When he asks the same question in China, he can get an unusual answer.”
Then he tried to give the floor to another journalist, but Ziang came back and said, “Why are you specifically telling me this?” with the president responding “I’m not specifically telling anyone. I’m telling anyone to ask me such a bad question.” Ziang, for his part, insisted: “It is not a bad question.
After that confrontation, Donald Trump tried to overtake the journalist who had the turn to ask (CNN by accident) and when she also protested, the president turned his back on him and left the press conference.
Of course, this is not the first time that Trump has been accused of taking a hard line against women, especially women of non-white descent.
Fewer than 900 dead for second consecutive day
At the forefront of the pandemic, Johns Hopkins University announced that the number of new deaths remained below 900 for the second consecutive day.
In particular, 830 people have died in the past 24 hours, with a death toll of over 80,000.
New York City mourns only a quarter of the victims, nearly 20,000 dead. Although the pandemic appears to have diminished in New York, new outbreaks appear elsewhere, such as in the capital, Washington.
According to Johns Hopkins University, 1.34 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 have been diagnosed in the United States.
Strong criticism and the “clock of death”
The American president has been widely criticized for handling the crisis and for the tens of thousands of lives lost, not only by his political opponents, but also by analysts, health experts and artists.
In addition, in Times Square, New York, director Eugene Jarecki has created a “death watch” that counts losses due to Donald Trump.
According to Tzareki, the clock counts the number of deaths that could have been saved if the President of the United States had acted faster.
This “clock”, placed on the roof of a building in Times Square that was abandoned in the midst of the pandemic, yesterday counted more than 48,000 deaths, 48,590, to be exact, while the total number of deaths from the pandemic in the country exceeded 80,000 and the official The report in the United States is, for a long time, the heaviest on the planet.
The meter is based on the following hypothesis: 60% of deaths in the United States could have been avoided if the Donald Trump administration had decided to enforce the rules of social distancing, school and business closings approximately a week before it did so, that is, on March 9, instead of 16, Tzareki explained in his blog on Medium.
