CORRECTION: Two words were omitted from the quote from President Trump. Instead of saying “you should leave immediately,” the president said, “you two, you should leave immediately.”
During President Trump’s daily White House press conference today, the president noted that the press was too close together and that some should leave the room immediately.
“You are actually sitting too close. We should get rid of about another 75% or 80% of you. Just two or three that I like in this room. That is a good way to do it. … But you are actually much too close. You two, you should leave immediately.”
Trump to media:

Jim Acosta couldn’t wait to tweet out that the president said “Chinese virus” again:
