Donald Trump and the 'Bully Pulpit'



Donald Trump tries to intimidate and bully a journalist (Paula Reid) who is just doing her job of asking sensible questions about the Coronavirus pandemic.

 Despite what he says, there's no doubt Trump can't take criticism or face up to the fact that he was far too slow in facing up to the threat the scale of the threat the virus posed to America and the rest of the world.
