‘Don’t ask me, ask China’: Trump abruptly ended a news conference on Monday after getting into a heated exchange with a reporter concerning COVID-19 tests.

It’s truly amazing how this man was treated by the media. “Why are you saying that to me” because you asked the question dum dum.

This is not an example of trump being racist to a reporter, this is an example of Trump being Trump: he is constantly blaming China (and he is right in part).

I could listen to these two all day, funniest sitcom to come out of USA

[garyc]

I'm not a trump fan one way or another
But when she said why are you saying that to me
Well she asked the question
So he replied to the person who asked the question
Which was her
Playing the racist card is pathetic

[jamessutherland]

He’s not there to be attacked but to try to give out wanted information! All the reporters are throwing insults at the man, I wouldn’t stand for it either

[studlyhungwell]

This was hilarious! It’s what happens when you put shitty reporters on important assignments.

[brattberg]

Awesome way to deal with good & nasty questions! He exalted the good ones & made sure the reporter new about it & on the nasty one he didn't get hooked up on the back & forth arguments he just finished them! The way a true commander & chief does it! Great President!

"Sir why are you saying that specifically to me"💁🏽‍♀️
"because you come from... China" 🇨🇳👨🏼‍⚖️

As terrible as Donny is, his supporters are far worse.

[shipwreckjs]

LOL. That desparate attempt to try make Trump look racist is so transparent that it's actually hilarious. Well done.

[thetoad]

I don’t see anything wrong with what he said? I’m baffled by her upset?

[xaviistoroben]

Trump is the only normal guy in the video, for sure.

[maestbobo]

What they said:

Q: "Why is this a global competition to you?"
A: "Ask China"

Translation:

Q: "I dissaprove of how you are framing this crysis for (presumably) political gain."
A: "That's not really a question, so I can't give an answer, but I would like to remind my supporters that China exists and they're the <bad guys>."

Identity politics Shame on the Telegraph for focusing on this.

[aerodesu]

Maybe we should ask the protesters in America

[tanishxox]

I like him! He's a cool president

[milavm]

Everywhere in the world where media wants to nail a president they make these type of questions and it is becoming ridiculous. A serious person does not time for this. Everywhere lives are being lost, if not for covid, it will be for the difficulties due to the lockdown disaster that has been "imposed" and every country have their own particularities and countries should not take exact measures as their neighboor.

[andythebandy]

I mean her question was pretty stupid. He just said that we have the most testing in the world right now to show that the U.S. is ontop of that right now, it didn't mean a race at all.

[rizriz]

Trying to play the racist card as usual.

[danielepson]

He's saying it to you specifically, because you (specifically) asked him. Isn't that how questions and answers work between people?
