Has Trump finally met his match? The female reporters setting him straight

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump seems to have misplaced an entire six weeks recently: he is yet to account for what he did in the first six weeks after the first coronavirus case was confirmed in the US.

Yesterday, the CBS reporter Paula Reid was determined to ask him about it at a White House press conference. “How do you close down the greatest economy in the history of the world when, on January 17, you have no cases [of Covid-19 in the US] and no deaths?” he replied. “On January 21, you have one case and no deaths. Think of that, we’re supposed to close down the country?”

In the exchange, the president highlights his decision to close US borders to China, and suggests that Democrats, in particular Joe Biden, accused him of xenophobia at the time.

But Reid was not convinced. “The argument is that you bought yourself some time. But what did you do with that time? You didn’t use it to prepare hospitals, you didn’t use it to ramp up testing. Right now, nearly 20 million are unemployed, tens of thousands of Americans are dead,” says Reid.

The orange blubber belly does not like to be called out or corrected.

1. I love that she kept talking, kept pushing.

If reporters had done this from the second he slimed his way down that escalator we wouldn’t be in this situation.

4. Got that right . . .

It's why I'm so very impressed and so utterly grateful to Paula Reid of CBS and Kaitlan Collins of CNN. They've been willing to continue to press for answers, even in the face of His MAGAtsy's petulance.

2. He is a

criminal and he needs to be called out for his genocide.

3. How did closing borders with China

do any good for the people of New York, where it has been proven that the virus arrived from Europe?

I don’t suppose anyone would ask him that ...

5. Every reporter needs to...

Every reporter needs to CATCH FIRE from Kaitlan Collins, counter every lie out of his vile mouth with the challenge of truth upon truth upon truth.

We need you to be our surrogates, our heroes, frontline purveyors of the rage and disgust we feel at his betrayal of our nation.

He’s a weak, tiny, broken, utterly defenseless creature in an ill-fitting bully suit.

Call him out and bring him down.

6. Don't forget Yamiche Alcindor. She challenges him regularly too, when he...

dares to call on her.

7. he CAN'T admit he was golfing or having his hitler rallies.

8. I believe I saw a calender here on DU

that showed he golfed 12 times and had 10 rallies between Jan 1 and March 1.
