Trump is Always An Insulting Attacking Control Freak with Coronavirus Reporter's Questions

[holbritter]

What they should do is an entire set of the over the top praise he wants and see how freaked out he gets.

That would be equally funny!

I wish he would give it a break already! One good thing is that anyone with a brain is getting sick of hearing this type of attack every day from this guy, shameful during a COVID-19 Pandemic. He has a lot of issues, that can't be denied. I didn't even watch this, hard to stomach anymore.....never changes even during a crisis.

We found out later that trump was right about all those things in the HUFFPO story.
I get that HUFFPO was making a stink about Trump attacking female reporters, but Jonathan Karl isn't a female.
Anyway, the Chinese woman WAS from an organization owned by Red China.
The woman bitching about the HHS inspector general's report was using a report from 2 weeks ago.
That the IG was a holdover was true, as HUFFPO noted.

The only thing that Trump suggested that wasn't fair was that Karl was a 3rd rate reporter. He's one of the better ones ... considering the group we're talking about.

The IG report was based upon information gathered through March 27.
This stuff changes daily and its absurd to base action today on such old information.
Its a meaningless report.
Trump was correct to be upset by the question.

BTW-- what is the rate in USE of PPE in hospitals in NYC (and in New Orleans or Detroit) vs what is being received? I have never seen that question asked or it being reported. It seems valid question in light of the equipment being sent out to hospitals (particularly since March 27). I believe it was the admiral who suggested part of the concern by the hospitals is not knowing what they will actually need vs being concerned on having a steady supply coming in.

President Trump is doing daily press conferences and answering all of the questions that the biased left leaning media has to offer.

He has put together a great Coronavirus team and is working very well with our nations governors to assist them with their states needs. Our Commander in Chief gives off an aura of confidence and strength, something that is badly needed when the media is constantly posting dooms day scenarios.

 

[Linc]

I thought you folks stopped watching these a few weeks ago.

I have it on six tv's at once. Does this help?

How do you think trump would react to a reporter’s question on the several stock stakes that Trump, Ross, and several other Republicans and their alphabet groups have in Big Pharma companies that make Hydroxychloroquine?

Think Trump would answer any questions today about how he and his GOP are killing Democratic voters in Wisconsin on purpose today?

Trump does not avoid questions. Yesterday, he just kept on going until they were basically out of questions to ask.

Regarding Wisconsin, that decision was made by their state Supreme Court. So I doubt that Trump (or Republicans) have options to override them. They do not own any culpability of the courts rendered decision. The people in Wisconsin are not being forced to participate in this primary. Maybe the Democrats should focus their anger at Bernie Sanders (who has clearly lost) for continuing his facade that it's still a competitive race? And since when do the Democrats care about the people of Wisconsin? Hillary Clinton didn't even step foot in the state during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The State Supreme Court is Republican. The major race today in Wisconsin is an election for a State Supreme Court seat held by a Republican. The state legislature is Republican, and they refused to hold safe elections. Milwaukee has only 5 polling stations out of 180 open.

 

[Mycroft]

Isn't that what the left has been saying about the right for years?

Think about it

Is that the excuse you are giving them?

LOL!!

Anyway, there is no comparison about the amount of negativity from the media...as a whole...between now and "years" ago.

 

[Chuck9788]

The State Supreme Court is Republican.

The state Supreme Court is "conservative" leaning not Republican.

What idea would you propose? Are you a supporter of voting online at home? Or would you just want all of our elections postponed until a more suitable time existed? I believe that 14,000 Americans died because of the Swine Flu under Obama's presidency. I don't recall the Democrats saying that Obama was sending people to their deaths.

If the reporters would stop acting like assholes everyone would be better off.

Just like that ****ing idiot yesterday that asked Trump why he hasn't closed down the grocery stores. That brainless mother****er has no business being a reporter.

The specific question referenced by the OP was asked in a professional manner. The problem isn't the reporters. The problem isn't the questions. The problem is Trump and the people Trump has hired to manage the executive branch. They are all incompetent. That's the problem. Deal with it. Come to terms with it. Because it's the truth. The launch of the PPP loan scheme was a chaotic, disorganized mess. and pretending it wasn't is the same thing as lying. It's still a chaotic, disorganized mess. Trump complained, in response to the question, that, "I wish we had a fair media." What a crybaby whiner! It's not the media's fault that the Trump administration botched the rollout of the PPP loan scheme. Attacking the reporter for asking a straightforward question was unwarranted and cowardly.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Boo-Hoo.

Trump is the one boo-hooing.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

LOL :lamo

And we all know how civil and unbiased liberals are in their reporting......right?

It was a straightforward question about a current issue that the Trump administration is responsible for dealing with. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the question. The problem is not the "liberal" media, but the fact that the actual facts do not portray the Trump administration. I suppose your idea is that we should pretend the Trump administration never makes any mistakes?

 

[W_Heisenberg]

In other words, dont watch and draw your own conclusions. Wait to be spoon fed by your liberal masters.

With respect to the OP, it's a fact that the PPP loan scheme was not rolled out in an organized manner. It's still a chaotic mess.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

He was right to blast the reporter on the PPA. He question was basically, the PPA has been up and running for two days, why isnt it working perfectly yet? They ask stupid question and he really should replace them with other media outlets. He wont because he loves to tangle with them. Its his favorite pass time.

It's a perfectly legitimate question. It's not a stupid question. The roll out of the PPP was not handled well. It's still not being handled well. Trump is lying when he says everything is fine and dandy with the PPP loan scheme. The Trump administration SHOULD be criticized for not rolling it out in a more organized fashion. The fact that Trump cannot handle any criticism is bad for the country. The fact that Trump's supporters cannot deal with the reality of this specific situation or any situation involving Trump is bad for the country.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

A huge number of your peers do not agree with you....do you understand this?

Do you likewise understand that you are not better than them and that what you think does not matter more than what they think....that you are not powered by some God....and so therefore to the extent that you demand that you must get your way over them makes you a dick?

Inquiring minds would like to know....

I don't know man. Do you think it's okay for people to cheat on their wives with pornstars? Do you think it's okay to commit tax fraud? Do you think it's okay to screw over your subcontractors? Do you think it is okay to habitually lie? Do you think it's okay to obstruct justice? Do you think it's okay to solicit bribes from foreign countries in order to win an election? Do you think it's okay to act like a jerk and a bully?

I mean, I don't know how you were raised or what your parents taught you, but by any objective measure, Trump is human garbage.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

:lamo

/Thread

It's not "/Thread" and the reason why is that the Paycheck Protection Program is still not up and operational.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

There's nothing positive about coronavirus. Not yet anyway. What are they supposed to do? Fake their questions to please the orange moron? I say they double down on him and watch him become even more unhinged. It only makes him look stupid, and that doesn't take much.

And let's not forget the fact, it was a perfectly legitimate question. There was nothing wrong at all with the question. There was no bias involved. It's just a FACT that the Paycheck Protection Program is not functioning the way it was intended, that it's broken, and that the Trump administration is responsible for it being broken. Furthermore, it's important for the American people to KNOW it's broken, and it's important for the American people to KNOW what the President is going to do about it OTHER THAN crying like a little baby. It's his effing job! If he doesn't want the job he needs to quit.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

This pandemic has already done the service of illuminating on which side the D's and the so-called journalists are on, as well as further illuminating how badly our experts suck at their jobs, so I dont agree.

With respect to the OP, it's a fact PPP is not working. It was entirely appropriate to ask the question, and entirely inappropriate for Trump to whine like a baby when asked the question.

It's true that PPP is not working. It's true that Trump is ultimately responsible for it not working right now.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Nobody is spoon feeding anything when we have the actual confrontations recorded live. We are just spared all the extra word salad that Trump regurgitates for hours every day.

The president along with HIS government have failed the American people with their response to this pandemic. Trump refuses to even answer a question about the lack of testing when we have him on video 1 month ago saying "Anyone that wants a test can get a test". He had to know he was lying then. What he meant to say was if you are wealthy, you can get a test whenever you want.

What I don't get is that Trump lies constantly about everything. He lied repeatedly during this most recent press conference, and Trump supporters are okay with that. They don't mind that Trump lies. It doesn't make any sense.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Trump invites all the attacks he gets. Don't forget who started the whole 'fake news' crap. It wasn't the media and Trump is simply getting back what he threw out. Maybe if he kept his ignorant gob shut it would have helped, but no, the Lord of Twitter just can't restrain himself.

It's important to keep in mind, that with respect to the OP. The reporter asked the question in a professional manner, and the basis of the question is entirely true. The program is not doing well. That's why Trump reacted in the way he did. Trump knows it has problems.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Trivial Concerns

Do you have anything better to offer?

I think any random person off the street could do a better job at managing the government than Trump.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Does America deserve the abuse and the burning down?

See now, that is the more important question.

As you were supposed to know.

Apparently U Dont

!

It's a fact that PPP was not rolled out properly.

And it's entirely appropriate to ask the question why the PPP was not rolled out properly.

And it's wrong for Trump to attack the reporter. Trump should just honestly answer the question, but doing so would mean he would have to acknowledge that he made a mistake.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

:elephantf:usflag2:

Superb cartoon. Captures Trump's narcissism, selfishness, and callousness in the most perfect way.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

If you watch CNN instead of the press briefings, you are absolutely being spoon fed. They will say something, cut to the President saying something, and you will believe that is what it is, when in fact, the President was talking about something completely different, but they wouldn't show that.

It's a fact that PPP is disorganized, and that PPP is still having problems.

There is nothing wrong with asking why.

There is something wrong with not being allowed to ask why.
