A reporter was challenging Trump today over how ‘unprepared’ his administration was over the coronavirus. But Trump quickly flipped the script on her and reminded her of his initial ban of people coming China that took place at the end of January, something that he says saved many lives:
President Trump announced that he was restricting Travel to and from China on January 31st
The media called him Racist.
Joe Biden called him Xenophobic.

Trump then pointed out to this reporter that after he began the ban, her own network called him racist for doing it.
But Trump wasn’t the only one calling the media out. Below is an OAN reporter, Chanel Rion, drawing stares in the room as she accuses her media colleagues of siding with Chinese propagandists and others against Trump when accusing him of being racist for using “Chinese virus”:
OANN's @ChanelRion: Do you consider the term "Chinese food" racist, because it's food that originates in China?
TRUMP: No, I don't think it's racist at all.
RION: On that note, major news media in this room have teamed up with Chinese Communist narratives calling you racist. pic.twitter.com/cKLlwz269P

Rion clearly has NO fear in calling out her colleagues on national TV and in their presence. Wow.
UPDATE: Another clip from today you might enjoy…
Trump is such a Savage:
“You are actually sitting too close. Really, we should probably get rid of about another 75-80% of you. I’ll have just two or three that I like in this room.. You two, you should leave. Immediately.” pic.twitter.com/G7GvGEK6vK
