Donald Trump Lashes Out At Reporter, Tells Him ‘Don’t Be A Cutie Pie’

Donald Trump just lashed out at another reporter during Friday’s coronavirus press briefing.

ABC News reporter Jon Karl asked the POTUS how he could say that the governors are at fault that they don’t have the necessary supplies to help combat the deadly coronavirus in their respective states.

The president name-dropped some of the governors who have been publicly criticizing him, and he also said that they should be more appreciative.

“All I want them to do — very simple — I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true. I want them to be appreciative,” Melania Trump’s husband said.

Trump also said that he would personally not reach out to the governors who aren’t being more appreciative of his efforts. The POTUS shared details from his conversation with Vice President Mike Pence and revealed that he told the latter not to call the governor of Washington.

“You’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan, it doesn’t make any difference what happens’… Do you know what I say? If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call. He’s a different type of person. He’ll call quietly anyway. Okay? But he’s done a great job. He should be appreciated for the job he’s done,” Trump said.

But it was evident that Karl was not satisfied with Trump’s answer especially since he simply beat around the bush. When he asked the president if this means that everyone that needs ventilators will get one, the president snapped at him.

“Look, don't be a cutie pie. 'Everyone who needs one'- nobody's ever done what we've done. Nobody's done anything like we've been able to do. Everything I took over was a mess. It was a broken country,” Trump said angrily.

On Twitter, the POTUS was mocked for targeting another reporter and for using the phrase “cutie pie.”

“Look, don't be a cutie pie" I almost shorted out my keyboard with that turn of phrase spitting tea. I never thought I'd hear that,” Twitter user @HRH_hjoseph said.

“I'm starting to think Trump doesn't know what he's doing... It also seems that he lies. Like, a lot,” Twitter user @Threeheadedtoad said.
