'Just a rude person, you are': Trump lashes out at CBS News’ Paula Reid after she asks, 'where is the 'plan?'
President Donald Trump had a lengthy Q&A with reporters at the White House on Tuesday, but he was irritated by one journalist, CBS News’ Paula Reid, for her query or the way it was asked.
Trump had chided Reid before, when he held nightly coronavirus task force briefings that ended last month. He also abruptly ended a press briefing last week following an incident with CBS News correspondent Weijia Jiang, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and PBS Newshour‘s Yamiche Alcindor. He also complained about the “attitude” of Reid and Jiang in a recent interview with the New York Post.
Trump also defended hydroxychloroquine as a treatment or even prevention for coronavirus. He said that the drug has been proven to be “unbelievably effective” for malaria and lupus. “What has been determined is it doesn’t harm you,” he said. “Very powerful drug, I guess, but it doesn’t harm you. So I thought as a frontline defense — I thought it possibly would be good. I have had no impact from it. I feel the same. I haven’t changed, I don’t think, too much.
Trump on Monday said that he had been taking the drug for the past week and a half to prevent coronavirus. The president’s physician, Sean Conley, issued a note later in the day saying that he and Trump had had numerous discussions over the use of the drug, and “we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks.”
