President Donald Trump said the press conference in Rosehagen on Monday was the platform to act on how the United States is best at testing for coronary infection. Flanked by test equipment and breathing apparatus, Trump declared “the invisible enemy” without question that Coronary Smith’s death toll exceeded 80,000 in the United States.

“We met in the blink of an eye, and we’ve won,” Trump said, noting later that he was talking about evidence of infection.

He received questions from CBS News correspondent at the White House, Weijia Jiang, about why he boasts of so many cows that they do a lot of testing compared to other countries.

– Why does that mean something? Why is it a global competition for them, when Americans still die today, and we still have more cases left today? Jiang asked.

Ask china

– Well, they die in all parts of the world. And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me. Ask that question to China, okay? When you ask that question, you may get a very unusual answer, Trump replied. He then pointed out that he wanted a new question from a new journalist and pointed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

However, they allowed Jiang to receive a follow-up question:

– Sir, why are you telling me this specifically? Asked Jiang, who has worked for CBS News since 2015. He was born in Xiamen, China, but moved to the United States with his family when he was 2 years old.

CBS journalist Weijia Jiang (a.k.a.) and CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins asked questions without responding to a White House press conference.

Bad questions

Trump immediately stopped saying he would say the same to “anyone who has asked a bad question.”

– Not a bad question, Jiang pointed out, repeating the first question:

– Why does that mean something?

Trump ignored her and asked another question. When she saw the CNN Collins reporter approaching the microphone, she said “no, it’s fine” and fired her.

“But you’ve pointed me out,” said Collins.

– I pointed out, and you didn’t answer, Trump stopped.

Collins said he wanted Jiang to finish the CBS question and asked if he could ask it.

Trump ended the entire season by saying goodbye for today, turned his back on the press with resolve and left.

– Do not face smart women

Then the reactions came on social media.

– However, a shameful, racist and outrage from Trump because Weijia asked him for a pointed word, writes political commentator Tara Setmayer. TwitterAnd Meiner Trump doesn’t face smart, self-confident women.

Democratic congressman Ted Lieu of California addressed Trump directly on Twitter on behalf of Asian Americans.

– Some of us have been on active duty in the US Army. USA Nokon is at the forefront and fighting this pandemic as emergency medicine and health and care workers. Someone is reporting as Weijia. Stop dividing yourself in our nation, writes Lieu.

Both Jiang and Collins, like most of the other reporters at the press conference, wore masks on Monday. This came as a result of news that White House staff, including the vice president’s adviser and one of the president’s staff, have tested positive for coronavirus.
