New Delhi
October 22, 2020

U.S President Donald Trump on Monday mocked CNN for focusing coverage on the Coronavirus pandemic and insisted that people were �getting tired of it.�

Calling CNN �dumb bastards,� Trump said, "that's all they cover".

�You turn on CNN, that�s all they cover.� Covid, Covid, pandemic, Covid, Covid. You know why? They�re trying to talk people out of voting. People aren�t buying it, CNN, you dumb bastards,� Donald Trump as saying.

On the Coronavirus infection, Trump said, �if you have it, you have it, you get better.�

Trump's comments about Coronavirus and CNN come after the Trump campaign has sent a letter asking that the subjects for the final presidential debate be changed, the report said.

The letter, shared on Twitter by Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, said, �For the good of campaign integrity, we urge you to rethink and reissue a set of topics for the October 22 debate, with an emphasis on foreign policy.�

According to the Commission on Presidential Debates, the issues to be discussed at the debate include race in America, climate change and �fighting COVID-19�.
