1. Good thing msnbc didn't carry it

I liked that they had a reporter there but didn’t actually air the rant.

13. And CNN cut away saying it was just a campaign speech & nothing on the expected Coronavirus update.

18. Excellent!

[Volaris]

23. But no mention of the fact that what he did, is TECHNICALLY illegal as shit I'd suppose.

2. If only they weren't so easy to "manipulate"..... nt

[blogslut]

3. Fact

This is exactly what is going on.

4. Hey reporters.

When he pulls this crap, turn off your cameras. You might not be able to walk away, but at the very least, turn off your cameras. It's so simple.

6. Or just don't run with it live

Tape it and replay anything newsworthy. Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to edit for broadcast, and you can maintain your regular programming without interrupting it for the King of Babble-On.

10. Even if he spoke for 30 minutes, I doubt there would be more than two minutes of 'newsworthy.'

I have to add in here, thank goodness for Sarah Cooper.
I've watched her videos so much, now anytime I hear Trump, I imagine her instead. It's a lot less painful that way.

I scroll down to the point where I can't see the video, only hear it. Then I picture her. Works like a charm!

5. Disgraceful. Embarrassing.

How much longer can he endure? He seems so close to the brink of self-destruction.

Did he even mention COVID-19?

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Yep.

[samnsara]

8. the nano second I watched it seemed like the reporters were playing with their phones..

...nothing like a good ol rejection...

[eissa]

9. No coincidence he did this on the same day

Biden delivered his climate energy address. He pulled this same shit in 2016 and the media lapped it up. Let’s hope they’re a little smarter this time.

11. 4 years later, and they haven't learned a damned thing!

[handmade34]

12. they should all leave...

[Tess49]

14. My local CBS channel carried it for about 2 minutes, then quickly switched back to our

local news. It was almost like they couldn't get away fast enough!

[kimbutgar]

15. Too bad some of them didn't have the guts to get up and leave.

[Skittles]

16. Trump's eyes are starting to look like Melania's

and looks like his hair is changing color again

[dhol82]

19. OMG! He's got Pence's hairdresser.

[Takket]

17. aren't there laws governing the who/what/where/when of campain events?

like... you as president cannot call the media to the white house and tell them when an address will be made so you get air time... and then proceed to deliver a campaign speech?

[dhol82]

21. Well, there are real laws, Republican laws and then last and foremost, trump laws.

We are currently living in the era of trump laws.

20. He did something similar when he invited reporters to a news conference about dropping his birther

claims, but then after one brief sentence changed subjects, turning the event into an ad for his Trump International Hotel.

22. "Disrepair "????
