He tried to turn the tables on her by asking if she was let go by a newspaper and there's a good chance the head of that newspaper wasn't aware of it.

............During the Q&A portion of the press conference, Trump tried to portray his response to the coronavirus as superior to the Obama administration’s response to the swine flu outbreak, as he had done earlier in the day on Twitter.

“They had a very big failure with swine flu. Very big failure,” he said, then had the reporter cut off as she was pointing out that the Obama administration had had a million people tested for the swine flu at this point.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement that he was “pleased” by Trump’s decision, but warned the President not to abuse his power.

“As other steps are considered, the president must not overstep his authority or indulge his autocratic tendencies for purposes not truly related to this public health crisis,” said Schumer.
