How Far Can Tr**p Be Confronted And Pushed By In Interviewer - Before He Completely Loses It?......

I saw clips of the ABC Interview of Tr**p by who I believe to be is Terry Moran.

The discussion was the tattoo on the hand - that Tr**p says - it clearly says MS13.

The back and forth that was going on between Tr**p and the interviewer was very compelling. The interviewer kept on challenging and shooting back at Tr**p and Tr**p was getting more and more heated. Tr**p started to say shoot back barbs at the interviewer.

I don't think I've ever seen an interview like this where Tr**p was so challenged and it made me question as to how far you can push and challenge Tr**p before he really blows and say or does something that will demonstrate to us - how evil he is.

I always read accounts of Tr**p blowing up (off camera). The most famous was the throwing the ketchup at the wall incident. I read where he blows up and yells at his staff - but I don't think we'd ever seen an incident such that it was captured on video.

I would wish that more interviewers/journalist/reporters would take on Tr**p and challenge him to a point that - Tr**p would show us who he really is and not the image of a person that he wants us to believe he is.

I think if pushed enough by the press in the public eye - Tr**p will - crack/break/blow - and that would hasten his demise.

The amount of questions not asked and facts not presented is staggering. The media is terrible at their job.

when Tr**p was confronted by this interviewer - maybe some of them will grow some courage to take on Tr**p.

I came away with a lot of respect for (again I believe this interviewer was Terry Moran) and I applaud him for his tenacity for taking on Tr**p. I want to see more of him now and I want to see him even getting more confrontational. I would hope that he himself would be interviewed now and tell us why he pushed Tr**p like he did.

I'm hoping that others will see that they can make a name for themselves and become more popular - if they follow his lead and become more confrontational with Tr**p and do the job that we expect them to do -- to expose Tr**p.

Tr**p gets away with a lot of crap because people are either afraid of Tr**p or don't want to disrespect the office of the president.

Where some of these Interviewers/journalists/reporters believe such a confrontation with Tr**p would kill their career - I think just the opposite. I believe it will make them more popular in the eyes of the American People and enhance their career.

The interviewer tells him they are not there to be nice, but to get information for their viewers.

When the going gets tough.....

He mocks the reporter if he doesn't like the question. He told Terry Moran he's never heard of him. He tries to belittle anyone who disagrees with him.

I just wish the reporters would give him a taste of his own medicine during interviews. I would love to see it. Imagine if one after the other asked him questions he didn't like..... he would explode.
