The conference has now wrapped up. One of the last things Trump was asked about was whether he has been inciting violence by calling for people to liberate states. “They’ve got cabin fever,” he said. “They want to get back. They want their life back. Their life was taken away from them. And you know, they learned a lot during this period. They learned to do things differently than they have in the past and they’ll do it hopefully until the virus has passed. And when the virus passes, I hope we’re going to be sitting next to each other at baseball games, football games, basketball games, ice hockey games. I hope we’re going to be sitting next to each other. The Masters is going to have 100,000 people, not 25 people watching at the course.” He added: “I’ve never seen so many American flags at a rally as I’ve seen at these rallies. These people love our country. They want to get back to work. Things are really going downhill at the White House briefing. CNN’s reporter has just asked Trump if he was duped by President Xi on the virus. “You people are so pathetic at CNN” is Trump’s response. In terms of actual news from this press conference, the top line seems to be that he says a deal with the Democrats is close on the latest relief bill for small businesses and workers ... and could be resolved as soon as tomorrow. Trump also criticised the WHO and China for their handling of the pandemic and implied that the World Trade Organization hadn’t been doing a very good job either. And he said he would offer Iran aid over the virus if asked. We’re going to get straight into Donald Trump’s daily news conference, where angry exchanges with journalists are continuing in the question and answer phase. He’s just been asked by a CNN journalist why he (Trump) finds it necessary to play video clips in his conferences praising his response to the virus. Trump is very unhappy about the question. “What I’m doing is I’m standing up for the men and women that have done such an incredible job,” he says. “Nothing is about me.” He continued: “You are fake news, you are CNN,” “You’re never going to treat me fairly, many of you. And I understand that. I got here with the worst, most unfair press treatment they say in the history of the United States for a president. They did say Abraham Lincoln had very bad treatment, too.” This follow two angry exchanges with female journalists. One asked him why he didn’t warn Americans about the virus earlier. Trump responded by asking the reporter which network she was from (CBS). She followed up her question and he tells her to “relax”. He didn’t answer and went back to his stock answer that he put a ban on flights from China in the end of January. He then got quite angry. In a back and forth with the reporter, Trump told her to “keep your voice down”, then shouted at her that she should say to him “thank you very much for (my) good judgement”. He has since digressed to what he calls the poor treatment of General Michael Flynn, who was briefly a national security adviser to the president. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his dealings with the Russian ambassador before Trump took office and the president is considering pardoning him. Trump says the FBI treated him badly and describes the FBI as “human scum”. Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the coronavirus outbreak.
