Said they won't report how prepared country was

In a press conference about the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump was asked why the country was not prepared with more tests.

The President said the country was prepared. "The only thing we weren't prepared for was the media. The media has not treated it fairly."

The President cited his ban on people coming in from China, and said the media had called him "racist and other words" for doing so. He said had he let in those tens of thousands of people from China, "we wouldn't even recognize it compared with where we are."

He said other countries are now following his lead but that the media doesn't acknowledge that he was the first. "They know it's true but they don't want to write about it," he said.
