MSM reporters always think they know better than the president. They are constantly arguing with Trump trying to ask their loaded question in hopes he will slip up. But he knows exactly how to deal with these overzealous reporters that refuse to act civilly. This time it was a Yahoo reporter that refused to listen to reason when Trump told him he was wrong. Trump put him in his place twice for acting out and even told him he should apologize for lying. In a surprising turn of events, he just apologized.
“A Yahoo reporter apologized to President Trump on Tuesday after falsely claiming South Korea has done five times more coronavirus tests than the United States per capita during an Oval Office meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Yahoo reporter Hunter Walker asked Trump about America’s test rates compared to South Korea and was scolded by the president after he botched the data his question was based on.”
“South Korea has done five times more tests than the U.S. per capita. Why is that?” a Yahoo News reporter asked during a meeting between Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the White House.
“I don’t think that’s true,” Trump responded.
“That is true, and you said this morning that — the White House said that the U.S. passed South Korea in virus testing,” the reporter said back.
“That’s why you are Yahoo. No one knows who the hell you are. That’s why nobody knows you are, including me.”

It’s amazing that he thinks he knows more about this pandemic than the president.
“It looks to me the statistic the reporter cited is incorrect,” Vox’s Aaron Rupar tweeted. “Though South Korea was far ahead in terms of per capita testing for a long while, the US caught up about a week ago.”

Hunter Walker finally did see the light and apologized via Twitter.
“In the Oval Office, I asked about test rates and infection rates compared to South Korea. President Trump and Dr. Birx said I was wrong that they’ve done more tests per capita. Trump said I should apologize. They did not address multiple questions about our higher infection rate.”

“We have passed South Korea in the number of tests conducted per capita. I misread the mobile version of this chart and am sorry about that @realDonaldTrump . Our infection rate is far higher though as I noted.”

Geez even in his apology he is trying to tell Trump what’s what. But at least he manned up and apologized, that is far more than many MSM reporters ever do. Walker learned firsthand that the president is not someone to mess with.
Be nice to the reporter, like the rest of the white house press ‘corpse’ this one survived his own late term abortion after the brain was sucked out.
Demoncrats. . .I am sorry, BUT…
