At Mondays White House coronavirus task force briefing, President Donald Trump lost his temper and got into a yelling match with CBS reporter Paula Reid when she asked what he did to prepare for the pandemic.
He repeatedly touted the fact that he instituted travel restrictions from China. When Reid asked, What did you do with the time that you bought? the president began shouting at her.
A lot, a lot. In fact well give you a list, said Trump, adding that he believes CBS is a dishonest network and The people are wise to you you know youre a fake you know that!
Reid has a JD from Villanova University School Law and a Masters in Bioethics (MBE) from the University of Pennsylvania.

Trump to @PaulaReidCBS, who asked him about the slow federal coronavirus response: "You are so disgraceful ... you know you're a fake."

(51,582 posts)In fact, if someone tells him not to do something he does it anyway (either on purpose to piss people off or be obstinate). Remember when he looked at the sun during the eclipse? The fucking moron KNOWS MORE THAN EVERYONE ON Earth. It must be true since he said so, right?

(3,266 posts)complete screaming meltdown. He's inching closer to it every day. He's under so much pressure from all sides, conflicting pressure, his head's gonna blow like Schwarzenegger's in Total Recall.

(1,178 posts)Anytime he uses the words "fake" and "nasty" you know the truth is being spoken to him, and that's the only way he knows of handling it.

(3,523 posts)for her to say Fake? Youre calling me a Fake? Thats rich.... With a big eye roll. If he wants to blatantly insult people then I think its time to start insulting him back. And not just by asking him questions he cant answer, which he seems to regard as a breach of proper decorum. No! Call him a big fat fucking liar TO HIS FACE!!!
