Trump calls Yamiche Alcindor a degregatory name. |
Trump goes to Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshow. The far-white agitator continues to be a "shadow chief-of-staff" for Trump and defends this ineptness of failure in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump responds to Yamiche Alcindor in such a fashion, CNN actually came to bat for her.
Alcindor asked the question that Trump claims that New York doesn't need more ventilators and assistance. Trump snaps at her.
Alcindor is a PBS Newshour commentator.
“Mr. President, I have two questions,” she said. “The first is you’ve said repeatedly that you think that some of the equipment that governors are requesting they don’t actually need. You said New York might not need 30,000 …”
Trump didn’t let her finish.
“I didn’t say that,” he said.
“You said it on Sean Hannity’s Fox News,” Alcindor responded, accurately.
“Come on, come on. Why don’t you people — why don’t you act in a little more positive? It’s always ‘get ya, get ya, get ya.’ And you know what? That’s why nobody trusts the media anymore.”
Alcindor, who is a black woman, tried to finish her question, but Trump interrupted again: “Look, let me tell you something. Be nice. Don’t be threatening. Be nice.”
Trump’s reaction to Alcindor’s question recalled past incidents in which the president has cast black female reporters as “stupid,” “a loser” and “racist.”

He got personal again Sunday with Alcindor, making what he seemed to consider disparaging comments about her career.
“Excuse me,” said the president at one point, “you didn’t hear me, that’s why you used to work for The Times and now you work for somebody else,” a reference to the New York Times and PBS NewsHour.
The president didn’t call on Alcindor to ask a second question, even though she had told him she had a follow-up.
But a few minutes later, in a display of professional support, CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond handed the microphone back to the NewsHour journalist so she could ask Trump which public health experts supported his claims that more people would die from the economic impact of social distancing than from coronavirus infections. Trump didn’t give any names.
After the briefing, Alcindor responded to the president’s advice to “be nice” on Twitter.

I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.
My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.
“I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job,” she wrote in a tweet. “My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.”
#WeLoveYamiche trended on Twitter after the clip of her question went viral on Sunday. Many people praised her for asking tough questions even as the president lectured her.
Sean "Softball" Hannity once again comes into the discussion. He has push misinformation about the coronavirus and hasn't faced backlash. |
Here's Trump's favorite bootlicker. We almost forgotten about "Sweet Chicken" Terrence Williams.

This gay looney coon is dismissing the disrespect of a Black woman.
In the United States, this expression "You people" , however intended by the speaker, has sometimes been interpreted as indicative of racism when used in discourse with those of a race different from the speaker's, or of discrimination on an ethnic or religious basis in analogous situations.
With the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are being ordered to stay at home if they're sick and those who are able to work are doing under tight restrictions. Many companies had to lay off millions because of the spread of the coronavirus.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.
1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
