The "real" reporters and "serious" journalists must not have been getting their fill of Trump-trashing lately without daily White House coronavirus task force briefings, so they were chomping at the bit Monday to go after the president.
The media types were in rare form, attempting to stoke fear and decry any ideas of reopening while bashing President Trump's motives on death tolls and testing.
It all culminated with CBS' Weijia Jiang trying to back the president into a racism corner, after which Trump ended the briefing early, cutting off a question from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
Notorious PBS correspondent Yamiche Alcindor also whined about how President Trump could say it was safe to reopen when Vice President Mike Pence is being forced to self-isolate due to Press Secretary Katie Miller testing positive.
Jiang's earlier attack on President Trump involved her asking him if he intentionally slowed widespread testing and whether his push to reopen the economy was a political decision.
She came back later to bash the president for his insistence that how would be criticized by the media no matter what he did (which is true), scolding him that he shouldn't treat testing as a "global competition…if every day, Americans are still losing their lives and we are still seeing more cases every day."
President Trump dismissed her question as "nasty" and told her to ask the same question to China. Jiang, of course, pounced on the opportunity, and this is what followed:
After more back and forth with Collins, President Trump ended the briefing.
