Donald Trump has huge meltdown when reporter refuses to let him talk over her – Metro.co.uk, Metro.co.uk

Donald Trump called a reporter a ‘disgrace’ as she refused to be talked over when grilling him on his response to coronavirus .

CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid questioned Trump’s claim that his decision to restrict travel from China in February saved many lives.

The reporter did not stop her line of questioning despite the president’s attempt to talk over her, asking him: ‘The argument is that you bought yourself some time (with the travel restrictions).’

She continued: ‘You didn’t use it to prepare hospitals. You didn’t use it to ramp up testing.

‘Right now, nearly million people are unemployed. Tens of thousands of Americans are dead.

‘How is this rant supposed to make people feel confident in an unprecedented crisis?’

Trump immediately went on the defensive, ignoring the question and telling Reid: ‘You’re so disgraceful.

‘It’s so disgraceful the way you say that.’

Trump’s travel restrictions from China started on February 2, but social distancing guidelines for Americans came more than a month later in mid-March.

Undeterred, Reid continued to question the president on his early response to coronavirus: ‘What did your administration do in February with the time that your travel ban bought you?’

He responded: ‘A lot. A lot. And in fact, we’ll give you a list. ’When Reid tried to press him for an answer again, Trump said:‘ Look, you know you’re a fake, you know that. Your whole network, the way you cover it, is fake. ’

He added: ‘The people are wise to you. That’s why you have a lower approval rating than you’ve ever had before. ’
