CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond criticized President Trump for what he called “self-congratulation” over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and quickly regretted it.
Diamond took umbrage with the President showing a video montage of the media’s reprehensible coverage during the crisis and providing a timeline of the actual steps he’s taken to protect the American people.
“Today we hit the grim milestone of more than 40,000 Americans now having died from the coronavirus,” the reporter began.
“Can you explain then why you come out here and you are reading clips and — and showing clips of praise for you and for your administration? Is this really the time for self-congratulation?” he asked.
Trump Spits Fire
Diamond must be under the impression that to make it at CNN you have to really pull out all of the stops. So he went Acosta-lite on the President.
But Trump wasn’t playing games.
“Well, I will tell you this, what I’m doing is I’m standing up for the men and women that have done such an incredible job,” Trump fired back.
“Those people have been incredible,” he continued. “I’m also sticking up for doctors and nurses and military doctors and nurses.”
Diamond interjected once again, but Trump, focused like a laserbeam, moved forward with his argument, excoriated CNN as “fake news” and told the reporter he was sorely lacking in a major area.

Lacking Brains
This is actually a bit of a self-own on Diamond’s part. If Trump is setting the record straight and that comes off to him as self-congratulatory that means two things:
- Trump is right about the media.
- Actual facts are a positive for the President.
“Those people [administration, doctors, and nurses] have been just absolutely excoriated by some of the fake news like you. You’re CNN. You’re fake news,” Trump fumed.
“And let me just tell you, they were excoriated by people like you that don’t know any better because you don’t have the brains you were born with. You should be praising the people that have done a good job, not doing what you do,” he continued.

Acosta Outshined
Diamond’s effort was similar to that of his apparent career muse, Jim Acosta, who previously questioned Trump’s “happy talk” during a difficult time.
“These people have done an incredible job,” Trump fought back. “This is not happy talk. Maybe it’s happy talk for you, it’s not happy talk for me.”
“We’re talking about death, we’re talking about the greatest economy in the world, one day you have to close it off,” he continued.
“Thousands of people have died. There’s nothing happy about it, Jim. This is sad talk. These are the saddest news conferences that I’ve ever had. I don’t like doing them.”
Jim @Acosta says that the press conferences are “happy talk” briefings.

To Diamond, the President said he was aware that CNN will never let up with their perpetual and embarrassing bias.
“Look, you’re never going to treat me fairly, many of you, and I understand that,” Trump said.
And he’s never going to stop fighting back.

CNN Constant-Negative-News gets shut down again for their dishonesty. Trump 2020.
This a-hole has no manners. Trump should ban him and all the other “journalists” who constantly interrupt him from these news conferences. They all lean way left. They wouldn’t do this nonsense to their hero Barry.
Trump is President of the Trump Fan Club. Hes his own biggest fan. He caused a catastrophe.. then, came to the rescue. Communism 101. Just like the events of 9-11. Lies and spins every step of the way. Agenda 21 = World Communism. Wake up, Americans before you no longer have anything to wake up to. Does not matter who is potus. It would still be going on.

Trump is doing a great job with the virus, if he didn’t stop the travel to China when this first started, there would have been a lot more deaths in this country. CNN SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR! TRUMP 2020!!!

40,000? We know as many or more than 3,000 counted in NYC only probably died from the Flu. The sanctuary Cities and states seem to be grossly inflating the tallies.

These “reporters/journalists” are downright rude and disrespectful to Trump and to the office of the Presidency. Would they be this same way to Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, or most other politicians with a “D” before their title/name?

I can’t think of any since those of WWII.
I wonder what it would be like to have journalists at these events instead of propagandists for the DNC? What would it be like to have journalists AT ALL?
with all of this garbage going on if the house and the senate and the white house are not republican after the upcoming election there is no hope. However, I believe that God is still on our side. Hopefully he will find among us enough righteous people to rid us of the liberal Garbage in the house and the senate and keep DT in the white house.

This kind of stuff is beginning to convince me that Trump Derangement Syndrome may be a real mental disorder.
Good for the President. If the press would do their job Trump would not have to do theirs. Trump has to set the record straight each day. It is unprecedented and very sad.
Are you sure the phrase is “…water from a boot…”? I recall a different fluid like what your dog shoots at the fire plug. By the way they miss by a mile and Trump lets them dig the hole, then buries them in it!
Jeremy Diamond is a celebrity wannabe. Most of the mass media are. Just another bum trying to make his “mark”. My dog has a better aim at a fire hydrant. He appears to not to be able to pour water from a boot with the directions written on the sole. Unfortunately POTUS has to field questionable questions from miscreants.
WHO – WHOley Owned by China
Excellent come back by President Trump. First slamming the arrogant Acosta, & now putting Diamond in his place. CNN (Clown News Network) has for three plus years tried to get the better of President Trump & all to no avail. It was wise & prudent for President Trump to cut funding to WHO. The CEO of WHO is, or was in bed with China surrounding COVID-19. Why were we spending 10 x more dollars to fund WHO than China?. China has about 10 x more people than the USA has. Anyone with a grain of sense knows that this is wrong. WHO needs to get rid of their CEO & place someone in his place who is not corrupt.

You DO know Mike Pence was Governor of Indiana.. a major child-trafficking and pedophilia hub in the US, yes? And as such, Pence participated in satanic ritual abuse of children.. pedophilia and murder, yes? Pence is no Christian. Hes a Jesuit.. and evil pos. And his wife, Karen is totally on board with it all. Truth is indeed, sometimes stranger than fiction. And please don’t bother thinking I am crazy until you have researched it like you are trying to prove me right.
We have a great President and I’m grateful and proud of him.
No CNN pressors you are un American — Trump loves this Republic and her people. You CNN WH press corp are disgusting Trump at every opportunity praises all who are fighting to save lives — encouragement for the frontline is valuable.
Trump & Pence 2020!

Covid-19 is being hyped by padded US deaths conflated w/ the flu & other diseases already admitted by Dr. Brix but sadly so under counted in China.
The infected denominator of this contagion is inadequately reported from the paucity/errors of diagnostic kits so exact mortality rate cannot be known.
There are flu epidemics that claim 50-60k lives annually despite vaccines yet fears/hysteria only came up during this POTUS term. Every year since his election are hoaxes-’17-’19 Russia collusion outrightly disproved in the long costly Mueller probe, fake ’18-’19 Ukraine scandal deviously contrived led to the ’19-’20 useless bogus Impeachment hearings folly swiftly dismissed in the Senate & now ’20 this new Corona outbreak mania being nefariously overplayed by the Dems/media/China conspiracies.

The President has NEVER said the virus was a hoax. He said the Democrats using it to try to bring him down as the tried with Russia, Russia and Impeachment was a hoax. Do some research.
