Unless someone is wanting to deliberately make a partisan point against Trump (and there's enough ammo to not need to do that) there's not much to see in that clip unless one wilfully reads a certain intent.
He bangs on about China a fair bit. I appreciate that more and more journalists want to pearooster themselves and get their little time in the sun where they stood up to the big bully & try to be part of yet another 'gotcha' clip to use against the orange man, but there's nowt in this one.

It shows his continued failings as a leader. Speaking to the media is a duty he can't simply decide when and where to do. There's a shed load of dumb people in that country who can only understand one syllable words which he specialises in. Their mis-information lands solely at his feet.

The fact he storms off when he doesn't like the questions is frankly childish. I applaud the journalists who have stood up to him because he does use bullying tactics on a daily basis. Allowing this orange taco to think he's doing a fine job is only going to make things worse. When you read from experienced journalists how the White House treats the media, it's a miracle these women have the courage to confront him and call out his lying.

Note the video seems to be down, maybe the WH has already removed it.

A "partisan" point? How about a salient one. A clear factual example that he remains incompetent and prejudicial. Measured against the others? Maybe not. But the point is they are all flimflam mate.

I don't know, I thought the pulling down of the mask was a nice little flourish - might be of interest to aspiring drama students?

Bullying yeah. But the insinuation about race? I don't think so.

Am I? To do that is a conscious choice.
Only I know if I'm doing that and, if I say that I'm not, I guess you'll just have to hold me as a liar.

The auto-response is that people are seeing something in this instance that isn't there, based on actual legitimate examples from the past coupled with their own prejudices/judgements about this man.

you ignore/turn a blind eye to his cretinous behaviour as he has looked to curry favour with obsequious behaviour towards the like of Netanyahu.

He is absolutely an institutional racist. Look at his record. HE doesn't think he is, but he has more than enough previous. He uses race as a divider and has been for many, many years. Seriously, take a look at his record mate. He is the old institutional duffer whose first defence is that some of his "best friends are black/Asian/fill in the gap"...

Go back to the 80s and the Central Park Five, when Trump took out full page ads in the newspapers demanding the death penalty. Even after they were exonerated, Trump didn't back down. His recent comments that “You have people on both sides of that” and “They admitted their guilt” echo his comments on the killing at the Charlotteville white nationalist rally ("There was blame on both sides").
