(CNN)President Donald Trump contradicted a nurse he was honoring in the Oval Office on Wednesday, insisting there are no personal protective equipment shortages in the US despite her account that availability could be "sporadic."

A reporter asked the nurses attending the National Nurse Day event if their PPE supplies are where they need to be amid the coronavirus pandemic, and many of them nodded in agreement or answered affirmatively.

"I think it's sporadic," answered Sophia L. Thomas, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. "I mean, I talk to my colleagues around the country. Certainly there are pockets around the country where PPE is not ideal, but this is an unprecedented time."

Thomas said she works at a community health center in New Orleans, and that her youngest Covid-19 patient was 4 days old.

1. He has such a fragile ego. I had hoped

2. That nurse immediately agreed with him after his remarks.

"Sporadic for you, but not sporadic for a lot of other people," to which Thomas responded, "Oh no, I agree Mr. President, absolutely."

8. I was fascinated by the thumb twiddling

going on behind him.

"While it is an expression of at least a moderate amount of manual dexterity, thumb twiddling is frequently used as an example of a useless, time-wasting activity.[1]"

9. Thanks for pointing that out.

I had to go back and watch again. The guy is right it is waste of their time listening to him!

10. Did you see the ridiculous look on his face as she was spreaking?

And I hate the fact that she agreed with him after his asinine remark.

11. "Contradict" is putting it mild.

He had to call her a liar on her special day because every day is National Trump Day.
