| Trump said a racial slur towards CBS reporter Weijia Jiang. |
On Monday, Donald J. Trump abruptly ended his coronavirus press conference after a spat with two female journalist. Trump made a racist comment towards CBS White House reporter Weijia Jiang.
This was a controversial exchange of words between Trump and Jiang.
Jiang was the one who called out Trump for calling COVID-19. the China Flu or Kung-Flu.
Jiang is an American reporter who is an Asian-American. She has said in numerous reports that Americans who are of Asian descent are being attacked by bigots because of the coronavirus.
The question was why does Trump continue to falsely claim that the United States is performing better than other countries in the terms of testing for the coronavirus.
"Why does that matter?" said Jiang. "Why is this a global competition when, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?"
"They're losing their lives everywhere in the world," Trump said. "And maybe that's a question you should ask China. Don't ask me, ask China that question, OK?"
Trump then decided to call upon CNN's Kaitlan Collins before Jiang had injected:

Trump said: "I am not saying it specifically to anybody. I am saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question like that."
Jiang reponded, "That is not a nasty question."
Trump then tried to call upon another reporter as Collins was about to answer.
"I have two questions," Collins said.
"No, it's OK," Trump replied.
"But you pointed to me," Collins said. "I have two questions, Mr. President. You called on me."
"I did," Trump said. "And you didn't respond, and now I'm calling on the young lady in the back."
"I just want to let my colleague finish," Collin explained. "But can I ask you a question?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, than you very much" said Trump before he left the Rose Garden.
CNN and CBS representatives declined to comment on Trump's antics but folks on social media called him out for his sexist and racist reaction towards reporters.
Trump called the American press, the enemy of the people.
Asian Americans are VERY angry at what China has done to our Country, and the World. Chinese Americans are the most angry of all. I don’t blame them!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2020
Fake Journalists! https://t.co/fdFWf95Zz1— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2020
The Lamestream Media is truly out of control. Look how they work (conspire!) together. They are the Enemy of the People, but don’t worry, we will WIN in November! https://t.co/3YOSChXP9M— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2020
Trump has spent more time complaining about Democrats, his predecessor, his challenger and the media. He has not shown any empathy towards those Americans who lost their lives to COVID-19.
Did you know that five White House officials tested positive for COVID-19?
One in particular was the wife of controversial White House advisor Stephen Miller. The press secretary for Mike Pence, Katie Waldman-Miller tested positive for the coronavirus. It forced Dr. Anthony Fucci to self-quarantine. She was told to stay home and it forced Pence and Trump to be retested. Pence briefly wears a facial mask. Trump refuses to wear a facial mask when doing pressers or photo ops. He was upset that the coronavirus has spread into the White House.
Twenty U.S. Secret Service agents were tested positive for the coronavirus as well.

| A pathetic man. |
He blames his predecessor for a virus that no one knew about. The Chinese government told the World Health Organization about the virus. The U.S. was warned about it and didn't take proper actions.
Trump is trying to divert attention from his failure to act fast on coronavirus. He's now trying to tie Joe Biden and then President Barack Obama to the Michael Flynn scandal. The U.S. Justice Department decided to drop its criminal charges against Flynn. The acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, a former Fox News host and ambassador to Germany has released the names of intelligence officials who warned Obama about Flynn's ties to Russian interests.
Trump has decided to dip back into the culture wars as well. He's going to use the proxy scandal against Biden. The controversial accuser Tara Reade continues to be a burden on Biden. Her softball interview with Megyn Kelly has gotten attention. The Republicans are hoping seize on the Reade controversy to hammer Biden.
Trump's disrespect towards women doesn't seem to bother those so-called "socialist" Berners.
They're so focus on damaging the Democratic Party going into the election. Given that we have nearly 100,000 Americans killed from COVID-19 and 36 million Americans off the labor force, they're still concerned about Medicare For All and taxing the rich. Things that aren't on the minds of folks who are off the job, fearing they may have or spreaded the coronavirus, and losing their homes.

That racist bully has a nasty, evil habit of harassing women reporters, esp. WOC reporters. He needs to go.
