In the Rose Garden
yesterday, President Trump announced the United States has tested one million
people for COVID-19 and unveiled a new rapid test kit manufactured by Abbott
Laboratories which delivers a negative result in 13 minutes when the virus is
not detected.
Also during the
Coronavirus Task Force press conference, he announced Ford Motor Company is
repurposing an auto parts factory west of Detroit to start building simple
ventilators to treat patients diagnosed with the virus.
CNN was allowed
admittance to the presser. It was
towards the end of the briefing the President called on Jim Acosta. “Go ahead, let’s give it a shot,” he said.
The arrogant sumbitch
mentioned a number of statements the President had made about the virus in
recent weeks before asking, “What do you say to Americans who believe that you
got this wrong?”
"If you look at
those individual statements, they are all true. 'Stay calm. It will go away.'
You know, it is going away. And it will go away, and we're going to have a
great victory,'" the President said. "It’s people like you and CNN
that say things like that. It’s why people just don’t want to listen to CNN
anymore."
"I don't want
panic in the country. I could cause panic much better than even you," he
said. "I would make you look like a minor league player, but you know
what? I don't want to do that. I want to have our country be calm. Instead of
asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question."
