President Donald Trump lost his patience with a reporter Monday as he met with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office Monday to announce his plan to send Patriot missiles to help Ukraine defend itself from continued Russian onslaught.

The reporter asked Trump, "If Putin escalates further, how far are you willing to go in response?"

"Don't ask me a question like that," he snapped back.

1. Again, exhibit X for the failure of American journalism: why doesn't everyone get up and walk out?

They do not have to assent to this abuse, and doing so is complicity.

2. He responds that way because he has no idea what to do when his "deadline" expires.

It will be just another serving from the TACO truck. Putin is too far down his own rabbit hole to allow being bossed around by the likes of Trump, whom nobody takes seriously any more. Of course aid to Ukraine will make Trump's former BFF unhappy, but Putin isn't going to give up his war so quickly.

4. He is a idiot.........he really is.............and the press should have pushed him until his veins in his neck exploded

3. He's acting overly-emotional again

I hope his brain isn't cramping up on him... I had a brain freeze from ice cream once and it's a real bummer; I can't imagine feeling that 24/7. But, if it helps him feel better about the day he chickens out to Putin again, more power to him. "He's smart enough, he's good enough, and doggonit, people like him..."

6. Reeeeeeal leadership in action there.

So unfit for office.

7. "Epstein and Putin are my best friends!

You’re treating them horrible and they’re taking it out on me. Unfair!”
