The Metro reports:
Donald Trump exploded with rage after a journalist asked him to offer guidance to Americans left terrified by the coronavirus outbreak.
Asked by NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander what he’d say to Americans who are ‘scared’ over the 200 people killed and 14,000 sickened by coronavirus, Trump snapped: “I say that you’re a terrible reporter. I think that’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal you’re putting out to the American people.
“The American people are looking for answers and you’re looking for hope and you’re doing sensationalism. The same with NBC and (parent company) Comcast – I call it Concast.”
NBC’s @PeterAlexander asks Trump what he’d say to Americans who are frightened.

Finally. Finally. White House Press is pushing back against Trump. They are all standing up for @PeterAlexander who was unfairly attacked by Trump for asking a “nasty” question.
