Donald Trump has slammed the media, Senator Mitt Romney, Joe Biden and the FBI during a heated coronavirus briefing.

Speaking at the White House Sunday, the president also praised those protesting stay-at-home orders in states across the country.

Trump began his attack after a reporter said many Americans believe he should have been clearer about the danger of the coronavirus.

As CBS reporter Weijia Jiang started to correct the president on the facts, he replied: "Nice and easy. Just relax."

Trump then went on to call an Associated Press reporter as "very inaccurate".

During Sunday's coronavirus update, the president also said:

- If Joe Biden wins the election, other countries will "own America"

- "They left the good part out" a clip of Andrew Cuomo praising his coronavirus response

- People protesting the stay-at-home orders are "allowed to"

- Some Governors have gone "too far" with their coronavirus restrictions

During his media attack, the president also lashed out at CNN.

"You're CNN. You're fake news... you don't have the brains you were born with," he told a reporter.

"You people are so pathetic," he later added.

Trump took another jab at CNN when a reporter corrected a fact: "Good. Correct me. Correct me. I'm really glad you corrected me, CNN."

Alongside taking hits at the media, Trump also turned on the FBI.

While referencing the Mueller investigation, the president said: "The top of the FBI was scum, human scum ... and what they did to General Flynn was a disgrace.

"You know it and everyone knows it."

Trump also claimed his ally Roger Stone was treated unfairly by the FBI.

Stone was charged last year with witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and five counts of making false statements.

Trump was pressed about not inviting Senator Mitt Romney onto his coronavirus task force and whether he still holds a grudge.

"Yeah... I'm not a fan of Mitt Romney. I don't really want his advice," Trump replied.

Earlier in the press conference, Trump also said that other countries would "own America" if Joe Biden beats him in the election.

Trump said: "If Joe Biden gets in. Iran, China, Canada and Mexico will own America. You won’t have a country anymore."

On the demonstrators ignoring stay-at-home orders to protest to shutdown, Trump said, "some governors have gone too far."

He also defended their actions and claimed protesters were observing social distancing measures and keeping six feet apart - even though images from the rallies show that had not been the case.

"It was a very orderly group of people," Trump said.
