NBC's Peter Alexander pitched Trump this softball at today's WH coronavirus briefing: "What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?" Trump: "I say that you're a terrible reporter, that's what I say. I think it's a very nasty question.” OMG

It really is the softest of softball questions. Can you imagine how Clinton or Reagan would have answered it?

Full video of Trump's exchange with NBC's Peter Alexander shows:

Hopeful & optimistic Trump reassures Americans, says drug to treat coronavirus may be "gamechanger."

Alexander attacks Trump's positivity, accuses him of "misrepresenting," implies people should not have hope.

President Schoolyard Bully must resign.

To be fair Trump was responding to an even more important question - the gist of which was, “aren’t you Pollyanna-ing the shit out of this pandemic?????”

Trump thinks he wants to be a wartime president. Wait until the funerals start and everyone knows someone who has died. Bush tried to ban photos of coffins coming off the planes at Dover. There will be no hiding what is going to happen.

Why was that a nasty question? Trump could have just as easily said we're all in this together and we're doing our best to protect our people. I just thought of that. It was easy. There is so much more he could have said. Trump is so nasty he's hard to look at it anymore.
