Trump storms out of press conference

At his press briefing today, a Chinese American CBS reporter asked Trump why he had to take so much credit for our being better than other countries at testing. “Why wasn’t this something that was not a competition but for all of mankind?” Ask the Chinese Trump answered incoherently. The reporter tried to ask a follow up question and Trump then called on another woman instead of her. When the woman began to ask Trump to let the reporter have the floor again, Trump stopped the press conference and left the room.
