All is well until 2:56!….
Trump rips him a new one!
I may make and infinite loop outta this!
President Trump sparred with journalists during his daily coronavirus task force press conference on Friday, going so far as to call NBC News’ Peter Alexander a “terrible reporter.” Many other reporters in the room in turn sided with Alexander, making a large portion of the question-and-answer session more about their frayed relationship with the president than it was about the pandemic.
It all started when Alexander asked Trump if his “impulse to put a positive spin on things” could be giving Americans a “false sense of hope” amid the pandemic. The president explained he had a “good feeling” about possible solutions the FDA is working on.
“Let’s see what happens, we have nothing to lose,” Trump said.
Alexander interrupted the next reporter who was called on and shouted, “What do you say to Americans who are scared?”
“I say that you’re a terrible reporter. That’s what I say……. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”

Trump then pointed at Alexander and said, “That’s really bad reporting,” and urged him to “get back to reporting instead of sensationalism.”
NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
