Donald Trump explodes in anger after being asked if he is giving false hope to 'scared' Americans by buying malaria drug as he called 'game-changer' coronavirus cure - despite Tony Fauci saying there is NO proof it works or is even SAFE

President Donald Trump said the nation has ordered 'millions' of units of an anti-malarial drug that could be used against the coronavirus
He said he has a 'feeling' about it
'I feel good about it. Itâ€™s all it is. Just a feeling you know? Smart guy'
Dr. Anthony Fauci cautioned about assuming it would work before testing
'What I am saying is that it might be effective. Iâ€™m not saying that it isnâ€™t. It might be effective'
Trump tore into NBC correspondent who asked if he was giving 'false hope'
'I would say that you're a terrible reporter'
Coronavirus symptoms: what are they and should you see a doctor?

President Donald Trump told reporters the nation has ordered 'millions' of units of the drug 'cloroquine' that he said he has a 'feeling' will be effective against the coronavirus.

'We ordered them. We have millions of units ordered,' Trump said, name checking the German manufacturer Bayer, which he called a 'great company.'

'Millions of units are ordered and weâ€™re going to see what happens,' Trump said.

Trump and health officials referenced the drug yesterday as among those having promising potential to alleviate those suffering from the coronavirus â€“ although Trump was immediately contradicted on claims that it was ready for use.

I didn't notice him 'explode in anger'. I did see him scold a reporter for using his opportunity to ask a silly, counterproductive question.

Just another typical, "Trump is Furious!" clickbait headline.
Same as hundreds of others just like it.

Just saw this exchange: he smacked down a rude, arrogant reporter pretending to care about scared Americans.

Explodes in anger? More like he put the press in its place. He was stern and called them out on their b.s. I didn't see or sense anger!!

Q:What do you say to Americans right now who are scared?
Trump: I say you are a terrible reporter, that's what I say. I think that's a very nasty question, and I think that is a very bad signal you are putting out to the American people.

Worst answer possible.
I'm scared about death and financial ruin.
Try again Mr. President.

Try something like "Follow the guildlines I have announce and keep in mind I'm concerned too, but I'm very optimistic in the team I have assembled to fight this on all fronts. Next question?"

Instead of "Pay close attention to how angry I am that this has happened to me!!!"

Yeah, but most readers seem to be able to see through their schtick.

Yet they continue unabated and wonder why no one is reading the trash they are disseminating.

I suppose most of President Trump's base will be easily maneuvered to that opinion. It may not be as big of a mistake as I perceive.

May I respectfully disagree with this.

I have watched the news pressers and have actually been impressed in the way that they have been handled. I'm not an always Trumper...nor am I a a never Trumper. No one knows what may happen and there was no way to be prepared.

If I were Trump I would have walked off the stage and choked several of these reporters. Given his personality I was impressed.
