Trump is running for re-election also,

why aren't the liberal press asking him about his healthcare plan, about his deficit solutions, his plan for the homeless, his forgien policy plans, his plan for income inequality solution and on and on. The fair media will surely press him and his administration for details and fact check the positions they put forth. Saying "we'll see what happens" and "we're doing a lot of things" or "a lot of people are saying our plan is the best and biggest" should not be accepted. People need to hear both sides positions and plans if they have one. Show him for the fraud he is and we could have a chance.

For the main stream media it is all a side show as they cover the antics of the Orange God who must never be questioned, the inevitable and the anointed one!

Trump has lied throughout his Presidency and made all kinds of promises and allegations. Why doesn't the press call him out on it? He said in 2016 that he had a healthcare plan that would be "fantastic, cheap and cover every American". He never followed through on that. He said he would have a balanced budget by the end of his term. Our debt has gone up several trillion dollars. I could go on and on. Why doesn't the press ask him hard questions and not just accept his lies. He just says he is "working on it" and the press goes, "Okey, dokey" and that is that. I find it infuriating.

Remember after Bush ran the economy into the ground? The Republicans -- after giving up trying to pin the recession on Obama -- STILL didn't accept responsibility for it, spinning instead to say the biggest problem was that Obama wasn't fixing the damage they caused FAST ENOUGH!

Incompetent, malcontent hypocrites.

Just because they know he'd give some b.s. answer and/or lie doesn't mean they should decide not to even ask the questions.

He has no intention of answering any substantive questions.

Why isn't anyone asking Trump these qquestions, and really pressing him on specifics instead of the crap he usually spouts. Why aren't they fact checking him?
