The president has frequently vilified and badgered members of the press, often women of color, in his daily updates on the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Monday’s briefing, he pointedly asked reporter Youyou Wang, who is Asian, if she was working for the Chinese government.You work for China, or are you with a newspaper?” Trump asked, to which the reporter noted she works for Phoenix TV in Hong Kong.
At another point in the briefing, after Fox News correspondent Kristin Fisher noted that testing has “been a big issue” in the U.S. and asked when hospitals can expect a “quick turnaround” on test results, Trump gave a long sigh and started his response with: “Are you ready? Are you ready?” “Hospitals can do their own testing. States can do their own testing. … Do you understand that?” Trump responded. “We’re the federal government. We’re not supposed to stand on street corners doing testing. They go to doctors, they go to hospitals, they go to the state. The state is a more localized form of government. And we have 50 of them,” he said, implying the reporter didn’t know what a state was.
“You should say congratulations, great job, instead of being so horrid in the way you ask a question,” he added. Trump castigates a female reporter who asked him about testing failures: "You should say 'congratulations, great job,' instead of being so horrid in the way you ask a question."
