Reporter to Trump: What do you say to Americans who are scared?

U.S. President Donald Trump tells a television reporter he is “terrible” during COVID-19 news conference.
Here’s how it transpired.
NBC News’ Peter Alexander, asked Trump, “What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now, who are scared?”
And the president responded with, “I say that you’re a terrible reporter, that’s what I say.”
Trump continued with, “I think that’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people.”
Later the president was asked if he felt his comments to the NBC reporter were inappropriate.

“I’ve dealt with Peter a long time, and I think Peter is not a good journalist when it comes to fairness,” Trump said.

NBC News Chairman Andy Lack defended Alexander.
“Peter Alexander is an outstanding reporter. His line of questioning at today’s White House briefing was fair, straightforward, and necessary," he said in a statement Friday.
