Shows up, up from time to time. But the real President Trump, the unfiltered president , as always, comes out on twitter. As this president is spending memorial day weekend lobbing threats, conspiracy theories and insults with more and more americans dying every single day from the coronavirus. The president makes fun of joe biden, of him being a real man, being a responsible adult. Makes fun of him for wearing a mask. Retweeting this from a fox news host. A mask that is really one of the only ways that americans can protect themselves now. A mask just like ones millions of americans have been wearing for weeks. Millions of you. A mask that the president is afraid to be seen in and still refuses to wear in public. And then there is the president s extremely irresponsible bullying and potentially deadly threat today in the middle of this deadly pandemic. To move the Republican National convention from charlotte unless north carolinas democratic governor can guarantee theyll be allowed to have a packed house. A packed house. Get this, in a state that has already seen more than 24,000 cases of coronavirus. A republican source telling cnn the president is trying to make governor roy cooper the bad guy so that if changes have to be made he takes the fall. But this president on memorial day weekend as the death toll for the coronavirus gets closer to 100,000, this president really taking the low road, getting into the mud with his insults and accusations against anyone that he views as a potential enemy. Theres his attack on a democratic congresswoman congressman, i should say, and veteran connor lamb. The president calling him, quote, an american fraud. Just days ahead of pennsylvanias primary. And falsely claiming that the congressman voted for nancy pelosi for house speaker. He did not. The facts dont matter to this president. As long as the lie takes down someone on the other side. Theres the president s doubling down on his baseless accusations that Msnbcs Joe Scarborough with whom he has a running feud has something to do with the death of an aide in a 2001 in 2001 who hit her head and died in what police ruled an accident. Does he care at all that there is a grieving family out there . Apparently not. If you can wield a young womans death as a political weapon. There is a president retweeting a supporter who called joe biden a racist, insulted hillary clinton, slammed stacey abrams, a potential running mate of joe bidens for her appearance and threw in another slam calling biden a racist. The president of the United States tweeting and retweeting garbage on a weekend that is supposed to be about honoring american heros who made the ultimate sacrifice. And with the coronavirus still ravaging this country, the president criticizing someone about their weight. Perhaps he doesnt own a mirror or a scale. And for this president of all people to attack biden on race, you would think that the words would stick in his throat. If he had any shame at all. Now, the fact is when joe biden said this to charlemagne tha god on the breakfast club, it didnt land well. I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether youre for me or for trump then you aint black. Joe biden knows it was a joke that was inappropriate in that moment. And that his familiarity with black culture would be overscrutinized. So he apologized for that the same day, in a call with the National Black chamber of commerce. The former Vice President saying, quote, i shouldnt have been such a wise guy, and insisting that he doesnt take black voters for granted. So trump calling biden a racist is rich because there is an enormous difference between an illtimed joke made by a man who served alongside the first black president and a man who launched his political career trying to tear down the first black president and promoting the racist birther lie that that black president was not born in this country. If he wasnt born in this country, which is a real possibility. Im not saying it happened, im saying its a real possibility. Then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics. A racist lie that he reportedly Still Believes behind closed doors. And lets not forget this is the president who said this about deadly white supremacist violence in charlottesville. You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group excuse me. Excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. This is a man who danced around the question of whether he would disavow david duke, the former leader of the ku klux klan. Well, just so you understand, i dont know anything about david duke, okay . I dont know anything about what youre even talking about with White Supremacy or white supremacists, so i dont know. I mean, i dont know. Did he endorse me or whats going on because, you know, i know nothing about david duke, i know nothing about white supremacists, and so youre asking me a question that im supposed to be talking about people that i know nothing about. He called black athletes who dare to protest Police Brutality and Racial Injustice sons of bitches. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get the son of a bitch off the field right now . Out. Hes fired. Hes fired he called africanamerican excuse me african nations sending immigrants to this country, quote, shithole countries and on and on and on, but joe biden is supposedly the racist . Its shameless. And then theres the president selfserving attempts to convince americans that we can all go back to our pandemic prepandemic normal. And for this the president nothing says normal like a few rounds of golf. Ive got to be honest, i really dont care if the president golfs. Nobody cares. Well, except this president. Tweeting today that he doesnt hasnt golfed in almost three months and attacking the former president barack obama for golfing. Well, heres the issue with that. He sure cared a lot about his predecessors golfing. He talked about it over and over and over. Lets roll the tape. Obama, it was reported today played 250 rounds of golf. Everything is executive order. Because he doesnt have enough time because hes playing so much golf. Obama ought to get off the golf course and get down there. Im going to be working for you. Im not going to have time to go play golf. He played more golf last year than tiger woods. This guy plays more golf than people on the pga tour. I love golf. I think its one of the greats but i dont have time. But if i were in the white house, i dont think id ever see turnberry again. I dont think id ever see dural again. But im not going to be playing much golf, believe me. If i win this, im not going to be playing much golf. Thats the issue here. Hypocrisy. And projecting. Project much . The fact is just yesterday President Trump made his 266th visit to one of his golf courses since taking office less than 3 1 2 years ago. At this point in his presidency, its important to point out that barack obama had played 98 rounds of golf. That is according to a count by cbs news. And you know what they say . There is a tweet for everything. Because donald trump tweeting in 2014, quote, president obama has a major meeting on the nyc Ebola Outbreak with people flying in from all over the country but decided to play golf. The death toll from ebola in this country, two people. The death toll from coronavirus right now, closer and closer to 100,000. Those are the facts. Cnns White House Correspondent is kaitlan collins, and i want to bring her in now. Kaitlan, good evening to you. Thank you so much for joining us. There is a very serious question tonight about where the country is heading with the rates of infection. Tonight and tomorrow morning people will see this headline about half of the states investigating cases of dangerous syndrome, this dangerous syndrome in children, but none of that has been top of mind for the president this weekend, has it . No, it hasnt, and the president is active on twitter every weekend. His aides know it. They prepare for it. But this weekend really did stand out when you saw what the president was focussing on, what he was choosing to amplify and what he was not drawing as much as attention to, including the death toll getting close to 100,000, unfortunately, here in the United States. And instead the president was repeating these conspiracy theories about an anchor and murder that are baseless and have been debunked. Hes amplifying a message from one of his supporters disparaging several top poll significances, a support we should note who has a history of racist and sexist remarks. And thats what the president was focussing on instead. Then yesterday, you know, we were talking about how he spent two days playing golf this weekend. He was criticizing the media for covering the fact he spent two days playing golf this weekend during the pandemic, something you rightly noted, he criticized his predecessor for doing. So, you know, he golfed this week at his property in virginia. And theres new reporting tonight about the pandemic taking a toll on President Trumps properties. Theyve had layoff theyve had to lay off, what, a number of employees, too. Tell me about that, kaitlan. Yeah, 250 employees have been permanently laid off from the president s property in dural. Thats the one in miami, of course. And this comes as youre seeing some of these Properties Start to open back. Some of the golfers expressed gratitude that theyre opening up. The president himself visiting the one in virginia for the first time in several weeks now over the weekend, twice in a row. But we are now learning that these employees who work at these properties are facing similar consequences. And we dont know the full scope of it because of how the Trump Organization is run and what they have to publicly report and what they dont, but my colleague cara scannel has gathered this information. About 250 people at the property in miami who are now permanently laid off from their jobs as a result of whats going on and the closures from the coronavirus pandemic. Kaitlan, i mentioned this in my open, but the president is threatening to pull the Republican National convention from charlotte. How real is that threat . It depends on who you ask. Some people who are close to the president say its just bluster. They just want to make sure that they actually find out what the conditions are going to be with the state officials in north carolina, you know, what how many people are they going to lou in . Whats that going to look like . Whats their standard for cases inside the state when it comes to late august . Some people say the president is completely serious about this because he wants a convention that is adds hes envisioned it with thousands of people as it usually is. And the question is whether or not thats something thats realistic no matter what state hes in. Because you saw that after he made that threat to yank it out of north carolina, even despite theyve already spent money on it, work has already gone into it. I think its pretty much unheard of to change a convention this late in the game. State officials from florida and texas were volunteering to host the convention there. Now, they go there is a lot of effort that goes into which states bid on these conventions, how they prepare for them. Theyre a big economic boost for the states, but the president seems to be believing that the democratic governor there is playing politics and hes got this concern that somehow theyre going to thwart his convention over this. We should note the Democratic Convention is just the week before in milwaukee, so theyre both facing these concerns. And charlotte Officials Say theyll put out guidance in the coming days, they say next month, over what these major events in their city and state are going to look like. Its just really hard to say what the country is going to look like by the end of august. Don, the other question is whether or not the president s own Health Advisers people like dr. Birx, dr. Fauci would say about having a Convention Packed with people in just a few months. Well continue to discuss this. Thank you, kaitlan. Appreciate that. Heres our breaking news tonight. More than half of states are investigating hundreds of cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, which doctors think could be linked to the coronavirus.

Our breaking news tonight, more than half of states now investigating hundreds of cases of multisymptom inflammatory syndrome in children, an illness doctors believe could be linked to the coronavirus. The cdc says emergency warning signs may include trouble breathing and turning blue in the face or lips. I want to bring in now dr. Jonathan reiner. Hes the director of cardiac Catheterization Program at George Washington university hospital. Doctor, thank you so much. I appreciate you joining. Happy memorial day as well. A majority of states now investigating hundreds of cases of this pediatric inflammatory syndrome. By cnns count, 350 cases in at least 26 states and washington, d. C. Is the idea that covid19 doesnt impact kids, is that officially out of the window now . Well, i dont think the notion was that it didnt affect kids or infect kids, i think the original thought was that it didnt really result in any kind of significant longtime for children, that the risk of a child dying would be very, very unlikely. So what weve seen over the last several weeks is this new syndrome which looks like a disease, a fairly rare disease which has been described for many years called kawasakis disease, which is primarily a disease of Young Children under the age of 5, often of asian descent, which manifests itself with this very red rash. It can involve multiple organs. Its an inflammatory disorder sometimes affecting the arteries that give blood to the heart. And this looked very much like it. Now, kawasakis was thought perhaps to be a viral infection. So now that were seeing this outbreak of a very similar disease and particularly in children who test positive for the covid19 antibody, this looks like a postviral response. So a postviral inflammatory response to having been infected with the covid19 virus. So, not a primary effect of the virus, a secondary effect of the virus. Yeah. So lets dig in a little bit more because thats frightening still. Yeah. As youre talking about this. But as frightening as this is for parents to hear, the vast majority of coronavirus cases are adults, older adults in particular hit hardest. Right. And so if you think about this, oven though th even though this is relatively rare, if you think about it, there are about 1. 5 million infections in the United States and so 300 cases is relatively rare. But the more you identify something, the more you recognize it, the more you recognize it, so my guess is that were going to see this the instance of this rise dramatically. But the importance here is that as we start to think about school, and we heard the president over the last few days urging schools to reopen. Nothing can happen to the kids. This is what parents worry about. It doesnt matter what schools want to do, it matters what parents are willing to do. And for parents to send children back to school, they need to have confidence that their children are going to be safe. And, you know, this disease is scary. And parents are going to think about it. Yeah, im surprised im often surprised to hear parents this summer saying im afraid to send my kids to school come fall, but theyre in theyre eager to send their kids to camp because i guess they want their kids, you know, to have something to do, but there is no difference, they still will be around kids and still have the possibility of potentially being infected. I think the two are the same. But i need to move on because were going to run out of time and i want to talk about this potential vaccine here because today the marylandbased Biotechnology Company called no va vax doctor became the tenth Company Worldwide to begin trials on a coronavirus vaccine. That is a big step. Right. So there are probably 100 vaccines around the world which are in some stages of development. There are a handful that are moving quickly. There is the oxford vaccine which uses sort of an older method. There is a chinese vaccine which is probably the further in Development Using actually quite an old strategy, basically its a killed virus. And then there is the moderna virus out of boston which uses a never tried before very elegant strategy of actually giving bits of rna to have the recipient actually produce some elements of the viral particles that antibodies respond to. What i like about all of this is the various players are using different strategies to create a vaccine. And this is what you want to see. You dont want to see Companies Using the same technology or the same techniques to create a vaccine. You want to see all thee different paths which will, you know, likely increase the possibility that well have an effective vaccine in a reasonable amount of time. So im encouraged to see these very elegant, different strategies. Thanks you, dr. Reiner. Appreciate your time. My pleasure, don. I want you to take a look at this because not only is it pretty shocking, but sometimes
