A furious President Trump opened his press conference not with a reference to the virus newspaper.

And they're right fake stories but a pre prepared attack on the media on a video to ram home the point that he alone had acted early to thwart the virus.

It's true.

On January 31st he did ban non Americans entering from China.

But in countless appearances after Donald Trump made it painted Lee clear, he wasn't taking the threat of coded 19 seriously enough, like this rally in New Hampshire on February 10th where he blithely promised this.

The virus they're working hard looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, miraculously goes away and reassured this, we only have 11 cases and they're all getting better.

And on March the sixth, as he told the offices of the Centers for Disease Control, he was still making comparisons with the flu.

If somebody is old and in a weakened state for ill, they're susceptible to the common.

When challenge Yesterday as to why he squandered the month of February instead of preparing, he lashed out.

Press conferences are usually cantankerous affairs, but this one was especially heated.

Do it your travel ban a lot, a lot.

And in fact, we'll give you a list what we did.

In fact, part of it was up there.

We did a lot.

You know, you're a fake, you know that?

You hold that work the way you covered his face.

President had arrived Furious at comments by his top diseases expert, Dr Fauci, go over the weekend admitted that more lives could have been saved had the country being shut down.

Earlier chase and found she was made to publicly retract his comments.

The president looked on.

Are you doing?

Everything I do is voluntarily.

Please don't even imply that.

And then there was this extraordinary claim in response to governors saying it was their decision, not his, to reopen their states.

The president of the United States has the authority to do what the president as the authorities do, which is very powerful.

The president of the United States calls the shots.

Has any governor agreed that you have the authority to design when their state because you know why?

Because I don't have to go ahead.

But I told you the president has the total enough.

But this was the governor of New York's response this morning.

What the president said last night.

It was a breaking of the Constitution, basically declared himself King Trump.

Right?

Look, the governors are in charge because the president put them in charge.

He's right is recently a Sunday.

The president reiterated that governors had to get their own affairs in order.

But as we've come to understand with Donald Trump much what he says one day doesn't necessarily hold to the next.

Well.

In his daily press conference earlier, the governor of New York who saw their Andrew Cuomo, insisted that he wasn't interested in fighting President Trump but that he would fight with all his might to maintain the safety of New Yorkers.

It's for that reason that governors like him are insisting that they will reopen their economies according to their own timetables, not to the timetable set by Donald Trump for when he wants to see the whole of the U.

S.

Economy opened up by the beginning of May to open too soon, Andrew Cuomo warned.

We could lose all the progress we've made, he said.

In one single week, he also wanted to open up any economy.

We will need to see millions upon millions of testing and tracing kits be made available and simply right now they are not available in New York, he said.

For one was broke, he said.

I do not have two nickels to rub together.

I'm telling you this warning he gave because presumably the challenges faced by him in New York will also be the same challenges faced by big cities across the UK as they try gradually open up their economies, too.
