She lied during the briefing literally a few points after promising that she'd never lie. She was also against him a few years back, criticising him for things that he said, saying they're racist, hateful and inappropriate and that she doesn't support him. She said that he doesn't deserve to be where he was as well. Now she works for him. Talk about hypocritical. Who can believe what she says when she herself is unable to stick to her own beliefs.

No you thought that is what I said. If I'd thought he'd cut the NIH budget I'd have said why is he cutting the NIH budget. Also the budget process for departments doesn't work like that. Congress has a massive say on what departments get how much money, they control the purse strings. Trump then has a lot of say on how it is spent within those departments.
Because he followed the Fox News piece and OAN question at his press conference. It was all about cutting money going into China even if it was going to a non profit doing very important work on viruses jumping from bats by an American company.
No **** China does heinous stuff
Where at any point have I defended China? This is an America company headed by a Brit doing very important work. Trump already lowered the amount of CDC staff in China looking at viruses from 47 to 14. That seems like a great idea now in hindsight huh. Bla bla bla again where have I defended China. You are just grasping for anything now huh. I can keep going on this for days because you were wrong and just can't let it go. Nothing is going to change that fact.
She has made a career of kissing his ass, talking utter garbage and not knowing what she is saying half the time. Surprised she was picked to became spokesperson when she is renown to have zero credibility and as you mentioned, for negative comments in the past. I guess if you kiss Trump's rear end hard enough it really does make amends.
wow - Trump giving special treatment to OAN, wonder why that is
. When they ask questions its like a poorly choreographed pantomime.

But did you know the budget had increased or not?
Its nothing to do with being wrong or right. You think its the end of the world. I think there will be dozens more people doing the same work that most likely don't have some dubious links to those Wuhan labs, and what Trump will be doing is in the best interest of the US.

As I've said before, it appears he can say and do whatever he likes, he seems to be untouchable. He's been screaming witch-hunt and then has the nerve to post something like that on Twitter.
Yet when Trump does it you are perfectly ok with it, why is that?
How often has officials made giant reservations followed by empty hotel rooms at Trumps Hotel as a way to pay him for favors. How often has Turmp sold Golfing trips to what appears to be China and others as a way to meet them off the books. So its wrong when Biden does it, but perfectly ok for Trump!!!! Go Google it.
In the SC some judges are saying they're concerned that subpoenaing the POTUS may place an undue burden on him and prevent him doing his job....If his job was spending all day on twitter and reading nonsense CT's i could understand that argument but....well.

Is there any law or even twitter policy that stops him posting whatever he wants?
Would anyone accuse (or has accused) him of defamation?
Yes there is, just recently Twitter said even Trump falls under the new anti fake news rules which his virus fakenews twitters posts fall under.

Then they're obviously not enforcing anything as Trump spouts bs every single day on Twitter.

God you are dull
You keep trying to change this to the NIH budget, give it up, its irrelevant. Yes it does and you were wrong. Oh yeah I clearly think its the end of the world. Repent all the end is nigh
Or I was pointing to a story showing Trump being childish and stopping important scientific research because Fox News and OAN told him to. So there are dozens of other scientists in China working on the viruses jumping from bats to other other animals? Fantastic, can you list them them please. Oh and having scientists in that "dubious Wuhan lab" would seem very sensible wouldn't it? I mean you'd want to keep on eye on what's going on there and who better than a US company that you finance?
Best interests of the US Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Yeah nice one. You should take up stand up with material like that. Cutting the CDC staff in China from 47 to 14 was in the best interests of the US as well right? Maybe its time for Trump to start doing things that he thinks aren't in the US interest and it will probably work out to be in the US interest.
Thanks. I found this only posted this week: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topi...g-our-approach-to-misleading-information.html
Let's hope it starts soon.
Funny how he said that when the person asking was of Chinese ethnicity though??
Why should her race matter though, if he avoided saying it just because she was Chinese then you could say her race played a part in his answer.
He has been blaming China for quite some time so this answer of his wasn't anything new, personally i thought the reporter was a bit pathetic trying to make it look as if his answer was based on her race.

it's hard to say. lets just say for instance trump had answered 20/30 questions prior to her question and he never mentioned china, and then she asks why is it a competition and he tells her to go ask china. hard to judge as he may have just meant go ask them as they are hiding their numbers or something (but why was that even a reply to her question i don't really understand) but it is trump, someone who has a history of telling asian looking people to go ask asia, or black people to go back to where they came from etc.
Can you imagine the uproar, there'd be accusations of stifling freedom of speech and that it's all some part of a deep state coverup trying to silence him.

“many times that the US is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing, said Ms Jiang. “Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you when everyday Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases everyday?“
Him
“Well they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world and maybe that’s a question you should ask China,”
He expanded on it, it originated in China and they weren't very transparent about it, lied about human to human transmission, lied about their numbers so why not ask them why there are so many *people losing their lives*.

Jay Sekulow must have said 'temporary immunity' a thousand times in his defence of Trump and then to argue that Trump is too busy/too burdened is the icing on the cake. The same man who said this regarding Don Jr's statement about the Trump Tower meeting:
A demonstrably false lie that he made in public, only to come out with this whopper as to why he lied.
He's also a subscriber of 'there's a tweet for that'...

i still feel his reply didn't make sense. should she now go to china and ask "why does trump think of this as a competition?" or should she ask, "why do you, china, view this as a competition, when you clearly don't view this as a compeitition?"
Ignoring any racism claims, the answer just didn't make sense anyway in the context of the question
