Donald Trump angrily walks out of his own press briefing after reporter calls him out for his racism
Donald Trump held a coronavirus press conference today to brag about how he’s “prevailed” over the coronavirus crisis, which is weird considering the death toll keeps rising. When Trump got to the part where he took questions from reporters, it went so poorly, Trump ended up angrily walking out.
An Asian-looking reporter asked Donald Trump why he keeps bragging about United States testing numbers in comparison to the rest of the world. Trump’s response: “Don’t ask me, ask China.” The reporter then called Trump out on his racist remark, asking Trump if he was specifically telling her to go ask China. He then called on another reporter, but as she was attempting to ask a question, Trump got angry and left.
We’ve seen Donald Trump walk out of his coronavirus press briefings before. But this is the first time he’s gotten so angry he walked out without answering a question from someone he’d called on. This was particularly ugly all around, as Trump managed to combine his racism, his temper, and his cowardice all into one pathetic moment.
