After a meeting with top bank and finance executives at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, Donald Trump seemingly had a disturbing question-and-answer exchange about coronavirus response with a reporter, and that exchange is quickly going viral on Twitter. Today, Trump announced he will give an address on the economy and coronavirus this evening. In a tweet, he specified that the primetime address will take place at 9 PM EST, which is certain to garner a lot of attention, but this exchange shouldn’t be skimmed over.

As seen in the video below, a reporter, seemingly CNN’s Jim Acosta, asked Trump what he would say “to Americans who are concerned that you're not taking this seriously enough? And that some of your statements don't match what your health experts are saying?" It’s a pretty diplomatic question, all things considered. Trump immediately replied, "That's CNN. Fake news.” Yikes.
