Monday’s White House press briefing on coronavirus abruptly ended when a CBS reporter Weijia 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, “… that’s a nasty question.”

Jiang, who is Chinese-American, asked why Trump said “China” to her specifically. Trump then pointed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for a question, then when Collins tried to redirect to what he had just said to Jiang, he abruptly ended the press conference and stormed out.

2020 Election

White House aides fret over who will have to sit Trump down to explain the election results

Published

on

As the 2020 presidential election continues to trickle in throughout the week, voters are curious what will happen if President Donald J. Trump refuses to concede - or leave the White House altogether.

"Yes, like George Costanza deciding to just go back to the office on Monday as if he didn’t quit the Friday before, Trump apparently thinks he can just go on being president even if the American people have fired him. According to CNN, Trump reportedly has not prepared a concession speech and 'in conversations with allies in recent days has said he has no intention of conceding the election,'" reported to Vanity Fair's Bess Levin. "The decision to go full delusional has obviously been strengthened by staffers, such as Mark Meadows, who “have not attempted to come to terms with the president about the reality of what is happening” and have instead fed into his claims of fraud; Vice President Mike Pence, who’s been soliciting money for a legal defense fund; and his adult children, who’ve been spouting absurd conspiracy theories on Twitter as they watch the ultimate opportunity for nepotism slip away. While Trump has apparently admitted to some people that he knows the electoral math has no chance of working out in his favor, he has “maintained that a prolonged court battle and corrosive rhetoric about election fraud would sow enough doubt to allow him to refuse to accept the results.”

Trump raises money for his legal defense fund — but half of it goes to pay down debt: report

Published

As President Donald J. Trump's re-election campaign flails in the final days of election calculations, his campaign is onto the next task: raising money to pay off his debts and fight his ongoing legal battles in what they refer to as a "corrupt" election.

"Starting early Wednesday, the campaign and the Republican National Committee have been sending dozens of daily text messages and emails saying they need financial support to challenge voting procedures," reported The Wall Street Journal's Julie Bykowicz. "Clicking through to the donation page, potential givers can review a disclaimer that 50 percent of any contribution will be used for general election campaign debt retirement and 50 percent for the campaign’s recount account."

Rupert Murdoch’s pro-Trump tabloid takes a sharp pivot — and turns on the Trump family: report

Published

on

As President Donald J. Trump continues to use drastic measures to help save his presidency from Democratic challenger Joe Biden, a pro-Trump newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch is changing its tone.

"Last month The New York Post called President Trump 'an invincible hero, who not only survived every dirty trick the Democrats threw at him, but the Chinese virus as well.' Then it published front-page articles trying to link the contents of a laptop said to belong to Hunter Biden to his father, Joseph R. Biden Jr.," The New York Times' Katie Robertson reported Friday. "On Thursday, in a sudden about-face, Rupert Murdoch’s scrappy tabloid published two articles with a wildly different tone. One accused the president of making an 'unfounded claim that political foes were trying to steal the election.' The headline on the other described Donald Trump Jr. as the 'panic-stricken' author of a 'clueless tweet.'"
