The most contentious exchange I saw was when Trump got angry at a CNN reporter for asking him about tweets in Jan/Feb praising Xi and China for their efforts and "transparency". The reporter went on to ask Trump "Were you duped by President Xi?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIqADMZ1Z8E&t=1h23m22s Trump ducked the question by cutting off the reporter and talking about trade instead of his coronavirus remarks. Trump's tweets in question (Jan 24 and Feb 7): https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1220818115354923009 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1225728755248828416 That said, CNN is clearly trying to undermine Trump with that question. They were baiting him to say something bad about Xi, which could damage relations. Trump doesn't want to publicly point a finger at anyone in particular yet. He did mention an investigation (to the origins). It could be that Xi was "duped" himself.
