"Mr. President, what are your plans for" the reporter began. Her name wasn't immediately known.
"Quiet. You're really obnoxious," said Trump.
"Im not obnoxious, but Im trying to ask you what about your plans for Memphis," said the reporter, as Trump continued to talk over her. "Many people want to know what the numbers are going to be like. What are your plans for Memphis, Mr. President?"
"You are really obnoxious," said Trump. "I'm not going to talk to you until I call on you." He then proceeded to direct his attention to other reporters.

Was it Yamiche Alcindoor? She does a good job of standing up to the vile grifter.

(6,058 posts)Both his nonanswer and I hate how the greedy super wealthy in their race to hoard as much as they can before this house of cards of an economy an the environment collapse. So they have this idiot gladly doing their whims while his family grifts endlessly. The GOP has put us all in danger as this fool won't be able to lead in a crisis.
The reporter tried to ask a simple question about his administration and how their novel storm the blue cities is going in Memphis and was entitled to ask.

Arrogance is bad enough, but when there are no qualities, talents, or abilities about which one could ostensibly be arrogant
Well, then one is a trump, I guess.

Just don't show up for him. Nothing he says today will stand tomorrow. Be real journalists and root out real news, not stenographers for a cretin who needs to verbally abuse people.

(18,114 posts)Access, even to a mendacious idiot, translates to greater ad revenue when they cash it in. More phony prestige.

(79 posts)hand-selected reporters who will ask him predetermined questions. Its abundantly obvious he only calls on the absolute sycophant reporters from the press conferences Ive seen. He even took them to the UK so he had cherry picked questions only at the Trump-Starmer press conference.
Im convinced, without evidence but with common sense, that he provides the questions he wants to his minions ahead of time. The questions they ask are unbelievable. They provide glowing, fawning questions to Dear Leader
Thank you Mr. President for bringing our country back from the scourge of the autopen; is Bidens pardon illegal? Like wtf?! One reporter mentioned how healthy he appears to be. Yeah right. And dont forgot the Zelenskyy White House press conference ambush. That was 100% planned and started with a reporter asking Zelenskyy about his suit. His press conferences are 100% pointless. Just a string of disgusting lies. Why bother? Im sure Ms. McMorris is wildly competent and therefore Trump couldnt have that. Hes not capable of answering a legitimate question with the truth.
