Two reporters grill Trump in press conference

[rayg]

The original article said that.."Trump storms off"..... When in fact, he just walked off..
These two reporters apparently are not neutual reporters, but Dem's doing what Dem's do, Which is trying to make Trump look bad especially for the up coming election. Just politics as usual....This only supports the fact that the US news media is not impartial...
The article said..Donald Trump has accused the 'lamestream' media of conspiring together to undermine him after he shared heated exchanges with two reporters at a Monday press briefing before storming off stage.
He said the 'out of control' media is 'conspiring' against him after he abruptly ended his coronavirus press conference following a heated confrontation with two reporters.....

What he is saying is true..no more just news , but politically directed reporting..That includes the leftest anti Trump British produced Daily Mail...And our own news media..

Ray it is that true he doesn't like questions that cut across whatever line he is selling. Nobody does I suppose, but he shows a thin skin about it, especially if it's women doing the questioning. As you know he does spout BS--sometimes to troll the libs, sometimes to gaslight the base. Occasionally both at once.

Funny how a "telling it like it is" kind of guy, doesn't like to be told how it is. He walked off looking weak.

I bet he would use the ignore function on a forum.

Had the press treated the Ethiopian the same way it treats Trump the Southern Poverty Law Center would have filed lawsuits against the press.

She was just nasty and kept it up.. Don't make excuses for unprofessional behavior just because they are liberals...

Unprofessional? I haven't see the vid. Here's your chance to pre-bias me, before I go view it, by telling me what was unprofessional about it. Not an opportunity to pass up!

Not an opportunity to pass up!

A perfect opportunity..

Made me think about the time Connie Chung ambushed Newts mom. Seems her t.v. time suddenly diminished. I guess she's lucky to be alive since it involved Hillary. I don't believe Hillary has actually had anyone killed. Hillary is great. Who doesn't like Hillary? I certainly do.

So here's what I saw. He had tweeted or whatever about how in numbers the USA was testing champs! Well we should be, since we have 1/4 to 1/3 of the world's cases!

Anyways the woman asked why "leading the testing race against other countries" had anything to do with anything. A good question because what matters isn't our test numbers compared to other nations, but whether we have enough testing going on to give people a reason to come out of their hidey-holes and start doing things again that move the economy. So she was right to ask it because the answer to that question is no, not even close. (Plus some people want to get Covid and not care if they spread it and not bother to get tested for some conspiracy reason, and while that isn't Trump's fault, he ought to be chewing those people a new one from his pulpit but for some reason chooses not to do that.)

Where Trump stepped into it was telling a ethnic Chinese woman (adopted baby like so many) to "ask China". It's a BS answer, and I cannot say she was wrong to basically go "WTF is that supposed to mean?"

At that point he tried to step out of it, but the other reporters weren't playing along and finally he bailed.

So two observations:

1) tensions running kinda high in those press conferences

2) Trump keeps making the sort of unforced errors that most City Councilmen get over by their third campaign.

The base may complain about the unfairness of it all, but sorry, when the Most Powerful Man In The World(TM) gets owned by a few ladies in a press conference, it's on him, not them. He shouldn't have walked away, and his supporters shouldn't cry about those mean ladies.

He shouldn't have bailed. Running away from a little problem like a press conference is not what the public expects out of a self-styled War President(SM).

If I were Trump, I would just end these news talks. The lib reporters are just using the talks in an attempt to discredit Trump...... I guess it's campaign time..... Lol

Sorry Ray, but Togor's post above is spot on.

We hired the the man to be the leader of the world and he doesn't have the nuts to face an embarrassing question ? that's what you expect from leadership ?

Strong enough to dish it ... but to weak to take it. .... he's a flop
