Trump storms out of briefing after being called out for racism from Chinese-American reporter

[Soph0571]

Monday’s White House press briefing on coronavirus abruptly ended when a CBS reporter Weija Jiang called him out on his spin over coronavirus testing — and the president began arguing.

Jiang asked Trump why he keeps repeatedly boasting about how the United States is best in the world at testing when 80,000 Americans are dead. Trump snapped back, “Ask China that question … that’s a nasty question.”

Jiang, who is Chinese-American, asked, “Why did you say ‘China’ to me?” At which point Trump abruptly ended the interview and walked away from the press pool.

Boom. I love her. People need to stand up it him every single time, he runs every single time and it makes him look like a whiny little fucker every single time.

[John Fante]

1. Not only is Trump the worst president in history, he's also the weakest.

[smb]

43. What A Pathetic WIMP! nt

[SharonAnn]

78. He's a total and complete wuss.

[maddiemom]

86. Actually Jiang wanted to know why Trump talked as if the U.S, were in some sort

of international competition regarding vaccinations, when it was a matter of so many dying. Among the many things the man is ignorant about, I've wondered lately if he understands the concept of "per capita?"

[WinstonSmith4740]

93. He doesn't understand the meaning of "day time"

[yuiyoshida]

84. HE'S A RACIST FUCK WAD....

[olegramps]

98. I wish their were more reporters who had the "balls" to contridict his lies.

I am waiting, probably in vain, to hear one reporter call him a damnable liar. I don't think I would have a job very long if it depended on not challenging this want-a-be tyrant. I have had no problem in asking people, who are pushing his propaganda, why they are spreading outright lies. It didn't go over too well with a couple of them and at this stage in my life I could give a damn. I am so damn sick of having to put up with people who are so indoctrinated by the hate media that they are destroying the nation. It is not the Democrats, by the way I am Independent, its the Republicans who have been totally corrupted by this propaganda. It is little different than what took place in Germany and Italy and led to their destruction. (I briefly registered as a Democrat to vote in the primary because I believed Obama was the most admirable and qualified person that the political had seen in decades.)

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. Weija Jiang rocks!

Other reporters need to follow her example.

[jrthin]

17. If we had just a few more reporters like her in the WH press corp.

maybe, just maybe, we could help restore our democracy.

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. +1

[MyOwnPeace]

52. Sad to say...........

without Congressional or Supreme Court help, it is up to US to begin to restore our democracy - and that will happen on November .3.

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!

[jrthin]

60. Yep!

[DENVERPOPS]

55. Or maybe, just maybe, even better yet............

How about a few Democrat Women Politicans, (or maybe, even the men), hurling never ending rhetoric at him daily! Heaven knows that there isn't any lack of of fodder on a daily basis. How about an arranged DAILY news conference by our Members from the House and Senate on what the RepubliCONS did the previous day to the people and the nation??????????????????? Certainly, even MSNBC would give them some air time every night.....
They might even humiliate the RepubliCON owned media into being "fair" in giving them time like the RepubliCON media is so good at giving Trump........

BTW? ....has anyone heard much of ANYTHING from any of our elected party members in some time????????
Are they all worn out??????, after firing their entire load during the Impeachment Hearings???????????
Does anyone even know anything that they are doing or at least trying to accomplish???????
Here in Colorado, I hear from our Dem Governor daily.........He is doing some good and is out there, at least trying.
DeGette? Bennett? and other Dem House Members, I don't hear from them very often.

AND the Dem Party Leadership? Hell, I don't even know who the Leader is, and haven't ever seen him/her on TV or in the News Papers...........

I'm a Democrat, and I am asking serious questions that all Democrats should be asking all along, and especially in OUR Party right now. With a FEW HUNDRED U.S. Dem House and Senate members, THEY should be barraging the RepubliCONs, by screaming from the roof tops, night and day, wouldn't you think.??????????

For instance, like the CDC guidelines for opening up things in the economy (if Trump was ordering the opening up done).
Surely, someone at the CDC is a Democrat and could leak it to the Dems to be published Nation Wide. I'm sure there are a plethora of Major Newspapers that would glom onto the story, showing why TRUMP and the RepubliCONS cloaked it in secrecy and kept it from being released. LA Times, Washington Post, Seattle Intelligencer, Maddow, and countless others in the real media.......There are countless times the Dems could have been fighting fire with fire.........

[WinstonSmith4740]

95. This is why we need Jim Carville.

Been saying this since the 1992 campaign...Jim Carville needs to be made the permanent campaign manager for the Democratic Party. He NEVER let anything those bastards said "linger" in the public consciousness. It was answered in the same news cycle. If the Bush campaign made a bullshit claim at 7 AM, it was dealt with immediately, and by the 5 PM news it was answered in detail.

I don't know if the Dems are waiting for him to self-destruct or what. As she said herself, Nancy Pelosi has dealt with toddlers throwing temper tantrums, so she has a long fuse. And while I do bow to Mike Godwin, he also later stated that if they're acting like Nazi's, it's OK to go ahead and call them out on it. And these guys are using Goebble's techniques with great success...if a lie is repeated often enough, the people will believe it. If you have the stomach for it, check out this link. You'll recognize the mind set in his quotes.

https://www.azquotes.com/author/5626-Joseph_Goebbels

And then try to convince me that some of that man's genes didn't find their way into Stephen Miller. They both have those damn "dead eyes".

[DENVERPOPS]

97. Perfect Commentary...WS

[NewJeffCT]

89. Yamiche Alcindor? Kaitlin Collins? Jim Acosta?

all very good, but Trump rarely responds directly to their questions - just hurls back insults at them.

[grumpyduck]

3. Keep doing it...

it's great for his blood pressure.

[dalton99a]

4. Low-life racist trash runs away like a coward

[iluvtennis]

65. +1.nt

[Ligyron]

92. I was so hoping someone would have yelled "COWARD!" as he turned his back and walked off.

Maybe next time...

[BComplex]

5. Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! He's terrified of women who won't back down.

She was very respectful in her persistence. He's a jerk.

[Joinfortmill]

6. Hurry, Joe. We need some class back in the WH

[mentalsolstice]

41. And Dr. Jill! nt

[Cha]

7. Weija Jiang 1---- Nasty Assface 0

Pretty sure she's scored even more points against the NA.

[Soph0571]

8. Before this is over I am going to call 10-0

Unless of course he gets her arrested

Hey love

[Cha]

13. Weija Jiang's our heroine.. can you imagine

what they're thinking of her in China?

Aloha love

[a kennedy]

9. Evidently she has gotten under tRumps skin before.....

loved her giving it back to him......he WAS calling her out on her nationally pure and simple. Bastard. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[Blue_true]

38. Her nationality is American. Her heritage is Chinese-American, barring any other ethnic addin. nt

[IronLionZion]

88. Ethnicity, not nationality or citizenship

Nationality is a legal relationship between an individual person and a state. Nationality affords the state jurisdiction over the person and affords the person the protection of the state.

Nationality differs technically and legally from citizenship, which is a different legal relationship between a person and a country. The noun national can include both citizens and non-citizens

It's a common misunderstanding

[Jirel]

10. I truly hope she starts a new game among the press pool.

See who can make him run. Extra points if he doesn't come back the next day or tweets more than twice about what a horrible enemy of the people you are.

[DinahMoeHum]

23. How about Tag Team?

Several of the press pool people follow-up on what the previous person asked before he/she was rudely interrupted by Trump. so that no matter who he points to, they'll keep hammering him with the same question.

If they wish, they can bet amongst themselves on how long he sticks around before leaving in a huff.

Worth a try, don't you think?





#newrostrong

[ProfessorGAC]

27. One Extra Step

Do as you suggest, then when a question comes from OAN, stand up & walk out!

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Good idea.

[nbsmom]

46. That's what happened today.

🍊🤡 wasn’t going to answer Jiang, he called on another reporter, who let Jiang finish asking her question.

Link to tweet

?s=21

[BigmanPigman]

64. Then he wouldn't let the original female CNN reporter finish her

original question. She just told Anderson Cooper that when he did that the left in a huff and the guests who usually applaud at the end of a presser were silent today, they were stunned by his immature, unpresidential behavior.

[sop]

11. Polite deference is traditional when dealing with a president, but that doesn't work with this POS.

Reporters who ask polite questions are steamrolled by an avalanche of bullshit and lies. The more confrontational their question, the more flummoxed Trump becomes, and the more likely he is to try to blow them off with a non-answer (another lie) followed by a personal attack. It makes Trump look like the coward and bully he is, and it's more interesting television.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. What if all the reporters one day (except ONAN) were Americans of chinese heritage?

[spanone]

14. She had the nerve to question his racist bullshit....

he's the worse.

[spiderpig]

15. I was watching this real time and was texting all my friends

What a rude, sexist, racist, belligerent asshole.

And just beforenthat he was accusing Obama of committing a crime.

I've had enough.

[SeattleVet]

30. Yeah, he accused President Obama, and when asked "What crime?"...

he told the reporter to go out and look around on his own for an answer. "You know what I'm talking about" ... "Obamagate".

I'm sure he was referring to the conspiracy crap being spewed by OAN, Brietbart, FR, etc.

But poor little tRumpy sure couldn't come up with an actual crime that he thought President Obama committed.

I wonder how he'd react if President Obama (I *always* use the proper title when referring to him) sued his sorry sagging ass?

[DURHAM D]

18. What a baby (and racist pos)

He's too stupid. The dog whistle part should have remained silent but it slipped out again. And then he runs away scared.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Thin skin Maggot. Just go away, Loser. Wish someone would ask him about the

pandemic play book President Obama left him and why he ignored it.

[uponit7771]

20. Yep, why 99% of the male reporters some punk asses though !??!

[fierywoman]

31. Because women are known to be able to endure pain better than men?

[uponit7771]

32. prolly, or some of those male reporters want to be like Trump so they don't confront him as much

[True Blue American]

83. Women can do more with their mouth than the average man can.

Trump will explode or run every time. He exposes his lack of courage and decency every time.

He refuses to speak with Nancy, has little use for Mitch, he is just an underling.

BTW, where is Lindsey lately?

[mitch96]

21. I just hope none of his followers do anything stupid... ?Pizzagate??

I bet he will do something to get her banned from the WH press core.. No "Nasty" allowed.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. Geeeez, the president of the United States,

(so called) Leader of the free world forced to run away like the little coward he is because two women . . . asked him questions. The horror.

The shame.

Yo donnie -- you look like a gutless little shit - for all the world to see.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. She gets it! Don't respond to his bullshit attacks,

Instead, call him out on the specific behavior he used to attack. Question THAT and he will blow every time. It signals that you know his game. Being seen for what he is, and trapping him with what he says is how you confront him.

[Grasswire2]

26. NO. He stormed out because the CNN reporter pressed him to take her question.

THAT is why he left.

The Raw Story article above is not accurate.

[malachi]

91. You are correct.

Jiang started it and Collins finished off the TTT. Collins wanted to know why he would not take her question after he called on her

[Mc Mike]

96. + 2, good correction to the info.

Doesn't take anything away from Ms. Jiang's performance to mention the second reporter's efforts.

[FloridaBlues]

28. Have these 2 reporters ask the first questions so he walks off sooner!

[ffr]

33. Did the Command-in-Snowflake dodge another press rally today?

[hibbing]

34. Such a tough guy n/t

[Hmongliberal]

35. Lmao

Hey faux 45, we know what really intimidates you: strong, independent and intelligent "gina" power!!

[panader0]

40. Hey Hmong--Welcome to DU!

[VOX]

36. Wish he'd storm off to Siberia, forever.

Maybe his man-crush Vlad could set him up. He does seem to love it there.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Awww the poor baby

[onlyadream]

39. It didn't even make sense what he said

She asked why he's making it into a competition. He replied, "Ask China."
China isn't making who's testing more into a competition. HE is!

Why is he? Because everything in his idiotic little brain boils down to winning and losing and making sure everyone knows he's the best. UGH. Such an immature man.

[Chemisse]

50. He's not too clever with the comebacks.

All he has are responses that he thinks sound mysteriously ambiguous, but which actually sound really stupid.

[onlyadream]

90. He's so unbelievably incompetent

I just can't believe people think he's doing good. I know they're in their own little Fox bubble, but all they have to do is watch the press conferences to see his stupidity!

[muntrv]

42. Twitler's widdle feewings got hurt.

[procon]

44. When a strong woman challenges Trump,

he'll collapse like the weakling coward he really is beneath all that fake bluff and swagger. He's nothing but an empty suit, a sputtering blowhard who is terrified that people will find out he's an idiot.

Trump did the most worst thing any wannabe tyrant can ever do, he cut and ran from his enemies, and his most worthy opponent was a smart woman who stole his thunder and sent him running.

This will happen more often because the stakes are growing higher by the day and most people will not be put off any longer by the same glittering generalities and nonsensical blustering and braggadocio that is Trump's stock and trade.

When Trump runs out of one liners, zingers, insults and pointless bragging, he runs away. He can't tell the truth because the facts will hang him so the only recourse he has is too flee the scene.

[generalbetrayus]

63. The depth to which he both hates and is afraid of women

makes me really wonder exactly what his mother did to him growing up.

[llmart]

68. I have thought that for a long time now.

We know his father was a crook but we know very little about his mother and he never talks about her. I'd bet the farm on the fact that she wasn't really Mother of the Year. He is absolutely terrified of strong, intelligent women who can't be bullied. Anyone else on here remember the African American minister in Detroit (I believe) that put him in his place and how he acted like a scared puppy around her?

[luvtheGWN]

72. Perhaps his mother saw right through him.

His father protected him but I'm betting it was his mother who insisted he go to that military school -- and he's never forgiven her for it. The only thing women are useful, in his mind, for is something I can't say here.

[llmart]

74. I have thought that his mother may have been the one to send him away also.

There was a person in my life that had that happen to him and he turned out to be emotionally distant and seething with anger and hatred for a long time, especially towards women.

[Grammy23]

73. I remember that encounter with the pastor in Detroit.

He went off topic in his campaign speech and she confronted him in a firm, no nonsense way. She was not rude, just very firm. He backed down so fast it would make your head spin. So yes, I remember that day. I also remember how I cheered when she did that.

Everyone should have taken note that day. The way to get him to back off is to confront him and do not let up. He will fold like a house of cards.

[llmart]

75. I heard Hillary talk about his stalking her on stage at the debates.

She said that in hindsight she should have not taken the high ground and should have turned around and told him to knock it off. I think she should have done that also. It truly is the only way to deal with a bully. He is just a scared little boy. He was severely damaged in his youth, I'm sure of it. He's damaged person. There is no "fixing" him.

[Grammy23]

76. I wish she had done that, too.

She had the guts to do it and was not afraid of him. But I suspect she was trying to maintain some sense of decorum and dignity so chose in the heat of the moment not to confront him. I’m sure, in hindsight, she wishes she had knocked his block off. Verbally. LOL

[llmart]

77. I don't fault her for not responding like that...

since she's always been so professional and classy it wasn't second nature for her to act like that.

Now, if it had been me I would have had some choice words for him.

[AllaN01Bear]

45. poor trumpy wumpy gets told the truth.

Next up the White house trying to take away her privileges..............

[Warpy]

49. His skin is really, really thin

and he can't stand being called on anything, he has to maintain his self image as one of omniscience and other perfection. I love to see pins being poked through that femtometer thick hide of his.

Jiamg, of course, will suffer, her credentials will likely be withdrawn before tomorrow. She needs to give her pack of pins to her replacement.

[Chemisse]

51. His ego is completely propped up by racism and sexism.

If a woman - and a woman of color no less - dares to challenge him, and doesn't cower when he blasts her with his wrath, he fizzles out like a popped balloon.

[paleotn]

and then jump off of a really tall building, or cliff, or whatever. The whiny little snowflake needs to jump off of something really tall, and, without anything to save him at the bottom.

"Mr President, what is the square root of 16?"

[MerryBlooms]

69. He turned tail and ran as fast as he could on those
