Tapper Shames Trump on Coronavirus: 'Not About Winning a News Cycle on Fox'

A day after President Donald Trump spent much of his coronavirus press briefing attacking the press and airing grievances against perceived enemies, CNN anchor Jake Tapper delivered an on-air message to the president: do you have a plan to get the nation back to normal or are you just interested in pleasing your fans and Fox News?

At the end of Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s State of the Union, Tapper said he would like to “speak directly to one person known to watch this show or at least clips of the show,” adding that he knows Trump is eager for the country to regain normalcy.

The CNN anchor went on to ask the president if he had a plan to combat the pandemic that has now resulted in over 8,500 dead Americans and hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases.

“Is there a plan for widespread testing of every American so as to isolate the virus the way other countries have done?” Tapper wondered aloud. “When will there be enough tests for that to happen? How will they be administered? Who will pay for the tests and the results? Who will notify us as to whether we have tested positive or not?”

With all due respect I don't believe Trump is capable of shame.

And I agree with your comment.
He is a no-shame human of the lowest character.
