(FROM THE ARTICLE:
President Donald Trump heaped scorn on several members of the White House press
corps at a coronavirus briefing Friday, but made a point of responding to
questions from a new reporter in the briefing room: His former press secretary.
“Mr. President, two questions if you would indulge me,” Sean Spicer said when
Trump pointed a finger to call on his former aide. Spicer, of course, is the
former White House and Republican National Committee spokesman who vigorously
defended Trump’s inauguration crowd size claims and regularly tangled with
reporters during combative White House briefings before his ouster in a 2017
shakeup. He also took a spin on “Dancing With The Stars.” Spicer now has his
own political talk show for the conservative Newsmax TV outlet. By the time
Trump entered the White House Briefing Room to address reporters Friday, Spicer
was set to press his old boss for presidential reaction to small business
anxieties and reports that senators unloaded stocks before a pandemic-sparked
market downturn. The surreal scene played out moments after the president
castigated NBC’s Peter Alexander for suggesting that Trump may be giving
Americans “a false sense of hope” about coronavirus treatment, asking what he
would say to Americans who are scared or sickened by the ongoing COVID-19
outbreak.)
