I'm still waiting for a reporter to ask Trump

at one of these 2 hour press conferences, "What responsibility does the Trump Administration take for the horrible aid process in Gaza and the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians by Israeli soldiers while trying to access that relief?"

1. That's only a question for former Democratic presidents and city mayoral candidates

Because both would have so much influence on current foreign policy decisions of the felon's presidency.

I think the sarcasm is obvious, but thought I better add this.

But let’s not hold our breaths. The useless press is in on the reality TV show President….just entertainment to them…with very few exceptions.

4. I get a lot of foreign media

as I live in the Philippines. Al Jazeera, naturally, covers Gaza and the aid scam extensively. But the BBC also does large segments every hour. I get little or no information about Gaza from CNN International.

The Aid implementation is always described as a US and Israeli joint effort by the foreign press. A humanitarian crisis, with people walking up to 20 miles to reach one of the four distribution centers, where they are fired upon by Israeli soldiers. This in not a one off event, but a daily occurrence, with no end in sight. Scores of children are dying daily of malnutrition or gunned down trying desperately to reach food, and the United States is part of it.

Yet, when I read and watch US news stories, it's barley mentioned.
