Get trump's ass in a sling ... press corps

Ask him questions about American History ... ask him the questions that new citizens need to answer. He will be exposed and put in the corner with a dunce cap!

But it would make for some hysterical laughter for the rest of Americans.

You know, Andrew Jackson was the second greatest president after himself, Commies added that "freedom of the press" wacko stuff, etc. Goddess, no telling how bad it could get.

8. He'll respond with his standard: "We're looking at that very closely right now".

What would be great is to ask him a phony question in a historical context. For instance: "Mr. President, how does General Washington's famous words 'Speak softly and carry a big stick for a house divided against itself cannot stand' apply to this current situation?"

When he replies "We're looking at that very closely right now", they would have nailed him.

I know it's not likely but one can dream.

who are smarter and who know more than they do. That's one reason they like Trump (besides the fact that he's a racist) - they see him as one of them.
