CutiePie trends on Twitter after Trump uses phrase on reporter who asked him about ventilators
After President Donald Trump told a White House reporter not to be a"cutie pie," the term began to trend on Twitter Friday night.
Trump used the phrase to admonish ABC's Jonathan Karl during a press conference after being pressed on whether he could guarantee COVID-19 patients in hard-hit states would be supplied with needed ventilators. The president answered the initial question by insisting the country was"in great shape" and suggested that an excess of ventilators could be produced.
"We've distributed vast numbers of ventilators, and we're prepared to do vast numbers. I think we're in great shape," Trump said."I hope that's the case. I hope that we're going to have leftovers so we can help other people, other countries.""Look, don't be a cutie pie, ok?" Trump said."You know, 'everybody who needs one.' Nobody's ever done what we've done, nobody's done anything like we've been able to do...
The phrase quickly took off on Twitter, with Karl himself remarking that it was"not the response I expected."
