Trump spars with reporters during fiery coronavirus briefing

President Trump sparred with journalists during his daily coronavirus task force press conference on Friday, going so far as to call NBC News correspondent 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 the pandemic.

The spat 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.
