Notice no one treats Biden this way.  He's not had a tough or adversarial question for the entire campaign.

Good for Trump. 
It's infuriating, the MSM practically carried him throughout the primary season and the election campaign. Instead of confronting him on his flip-flopping on the China plague, fracking, Ukraine, his son taking advantage of vulnerable women, left-wing violence, warmongering, etc, they ask him what ice cream flavors he likes.

They're not real journalists, they are paid propagandists, tools for the neoliberal establishment and their psychotic plans.

I'm going to put everything else aside for a moment and just comment on you using the term "China plague."  You understand that that is racist rhetoric that causes immense harm to Chinese Americans, right? 

If your answer is "no it doesn't," then you're either stupid, ignorant, or both.
This kind of dovetails into what the coronavirus should be called. China plague, in the way Trump uses it, is absolutely racist rhetoric. But at the same time, Covid is hardly any better. It's highly impersonal scientific terminology that fails to capture how personal the virus has been for so many people.
Ebola was a placename-driven name that didn't tar a single place with association with a bad virus, while simultaneously being just about descriptive enough.
From wiki:
"In 1976, Ebola virus (EBOV) was first identified in Yambuku, 111 kilometers (69 mi) from the Ebola River, but Peter Piot decided to name it after the river so that the town would not be associated with the disease's stigma.[5] Thus, the river is eponymous to the terms Ebola virus, Ebolavirus, and Ebola virus disease (usually referred to as simply "Ebola").[6]"
