"Who told you that?" is a great question for Trump at these pressers.

Kaitlan Collins of CNN asked Trump where he got the idea the president has total authority.

That question gets right to the heart Trump's lying and should be asked a lot more often.

"Swabs are so easy to get!"

"Who told you that?"

"There's enough testing!"

"Who told you that?"

"We closed the whole country."

"Who told you that?"

If reporters ask that, maybe we'll find out who's been lying to the president so much.

1. it's more polite than:

"What ass did you pull that from?"

It's the only problem I have with that question.

2. They tried that with Sarah Sanders

She just said it "wasn't based on anything." Remember that?

She wasn't a liar or anything. She just ya know wink wink occasionally said things that "weren't based on anything."

What rock is she under anyway? Is she waiting for the country to hit rock bottom to show up again and add even more misery?

3. and who told you to "just ride it out like a cowboy"???

That's the one I want to know.

5. Remember what one of W's aides said?

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

Reality-based community

Excerpt:

The phrase was attributed by journalist Ron Suskind to an unnamed official in the George W. Bush administration who used it to denigrate a critic of the administration's policies as someone who based their judgements on facts. In a 2004 article appearing in the New York Times Magazine, Suskind wrote:

The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

and....

International relations scholar Fred Halliday writes that the phrase reality-based community (in contrast to faith-based community) was used "for those who did not share [the Bush administration's] international goals and aspirations". The source of the quotation was guessed to be Bush's senior advisor Karl Rove, although Rove has denied saying it.

Proud to be a life-long member of the reality-based community.........
