That's your opinion and of course what else would a liberal say.........

Campaign time has nothing to do with it--it began on the day he took office, to the shock & grief (PBS' Judy Woodruff burst into tears, & she wasn't the only one!) of the media establishment.
I finally saw the reporter incident & it was IN NO WAY exceptional! I've seen the same or worse countless times, & women are usually the most aggressive, launching into obviously rehearsed speeches thinly disguised as questions! But I do wish Trump had stood his ground.Comment

It's only going to get worse..as the campaign kicks into higher gear..Don't forget, the Dem's didn't go all out last election as they thought Trump didn't have a change..That's changed now, they will be going full bore until the election. Just as here! Three of them chiming in to knock Trump over this...Comment

Press conferences are an opportunity for the executive to connect his policies to the kinds of questions that are out there. There's something to be said for hanging in there and taking a tough question. I get the feeling than in year 4 what the boss wants, the boss gets, at least as far as the White House staff goes.
One can almost feel sympathy for them, as it must be deflating to see him stomp off like that... another opportunity to look Presidential wasted. But surely they knew what they were in for when they signed up, so they get what they get.Comment

He did not stomp off... Stomp defined.."to walk with a loud heavy step usually in anger stomped out of the office in a fit". That means stamping your feet hard on the floor right!..I thought he just walked off when the secession was over...Or show us a clip on how he "stomped" off.....
By the way..You opened yourself to this by saying......

Ray the choice of verb for how he exited the press conference is mostly irrelevant. What matters, in the impression he gave, and in the lost opportunity, is that he cut it off. Bailed out early, if you want to put it that way. Among other things that demonstrates that fielding questions from outside his bubble is not a priority to him.
I don't know how many press conferences Obama had. Whether it was a lot or a little, I don't think he bailed on any after calling a question nasty. Keeping his composure was an Obama strong point.
You can focus on a perceived over-reporting in the media if you like, but the video is there for all to see.Comment

Why would I care how many press conferences Obama had? What does it have to do with Trump walking out of this one? I didn't even know about it until you started this thread.
If I can ask, now that it is a topic....how did Trump walking out make you feel? Proud? Mad? Sad? Glad? A mix?Comment

The President was right, one cannot educate an idiot and the President understood this and left. Many times I left the psych hospital after trying to explain why my client was hospitalized. I see this at the press conferences as well, why try and talk to those who refuse to understand?

He's the president in a time of national emergency. Leadership as I understand is not about soaking in the admiration of admirers.
I know Parscale says he has built a Death Star of an online re-election vehicle, but more and more this administration is having a one term feel.Comment

Extent of Weija Jiang's questioning
WEIJIA JIANG: “[You said] the U.S. is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing.”
TRUMP: “Yes.”
JIANG: “Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if everyday Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases every day?”
TRUMP: “Well, they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world, and maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China that question, okay? When you ask them that question you may get a very unusual answer. Yes, behind you, please.”
JIANG: “Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically, that I should ask China?”
TRUMP: “I’m telling you. I’m not saying it specifically to anybody. I’m saying it to anybody that would ask a nasty question like that.”
JIANG: “It’s not a nasty question.”
TRUMP: “Please, go ahead. Okay, anybody else? Please go ahead in the back, please.”
KAITLIN COLLINS: “I have two questions.”
TRUMP: “Nah, it’s okay.”
COLLINS: “But you pointed to me. I have two questions, Mr. President.”
TRUMP: “Next. Next, please.”
COLLINS: “But you called on me.”
TRUMP: “I did, and you didn’t respond, and now I’m calling on the young lady in the back. Please.”
COLLINS: “I just wanted to let my colleague ...” [Crosstalk]
TRUMP: “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you very much.” [Storms off]Comment
