Once you start a fight, be sure to keep it going forever, because that will make you look Tough and Resolute and Manly despite the weird goldy combover.
The Guardian explains:
At a briefing in the White House Rose Garden, [ Weijia ] Jiang asked the president why he continues to claim – wrongly, as he did again on Tuesday – that the US is performing better than other countries in terms of testing for coronavirus.
“Why does that matter?” asked the reporter, who was born in China and came to the US at the age of two. “Why is this a global competition when, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?”
It was a pissy question, and she asked it in a pissy voice. A round of applause for the CBS News reporter.
“They’re losing their lives everywhere in the world,” Trump said. “And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China that question, OK?”
The president called on another reporter but she paused as Jiang interjected: “Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically?”
And he flounced out of the press briefing.
His comment was condemned as racist by some commentators.
Yes it was.

What about the white people who are VERY angry at how much of a condescending racist bastard you are Donnie? Can you blame them?
Trump is floundering, and will blame any convenient scapegoat. If starting a race riot will get Trump off the hook, then any handy old race riot will do.
It’s that bad.
