• President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during the coronavirus briefing on April 13, after the reporter asked him to clarify what he did in response to the coronavirus during the month of February.
• "The time that you bought, the argument is that you didn't use it to prepare hospitals, you didn't use it to ramp up testing," CBS News reporter Paula Reid asked. "What did you and your administration do with the time the travel ban bought you?"
• "A lot, a lot," he said, but he failed to provide a list before lambasting Reid and CBS News, calling her a "fake" and claiming the network has a lower approval rating than it ever had before "times, probably, three," he said.
