He was asked about the bombing on the girls' school in Iran just now

His answer was "I don't know about it."

Yeah, we know. You don't know about it or anything else you big floundering blob of incompetence. Tell us something we don't know.

I hope he starts answering every question with those words. Every single one. Do you think then that the press will stop centering their "stories" about what he says and start covering what he does? Nah, me neither.

If reporter A asks a question and they don’t answer or ignore, reporter B should follow up on the same question or issue. Keep their feet to the fire/issue

I don't usually waste time criticizing the WH press corps questions because of that. On the other hand, other outlets like CNN and NYT, for example, do not need to center their coverage around what he says at these charade "pressers". Cover what he does!

The collapse of functional press around Trump is mind-boggling.

No other POTUS could get away with this

Press and GQP are “mostly” afraid of the raging Pearl clutching Butch Graham and him unleashing all his masculinity on their asses just before he faints on the White House stained couch. The one JD rapes for pleasure while Donny Is golfing and Vance is readying himself, to be appointed dear leader after the Cheese Berder stroke ends Daddy.
Trump can’t beat up nobody. He is a near dead pig.
But Lindsay…..his red faced, spiked hair when spewing spit and screaming how great Trump is, presents a dangerous situation.
Never underestimate a chihuahua with rabies, or one with a sexually transmitted disease eating and rotting his skull meat, from Epstein Island. That dog’s will bite.

Knew enough to try and blame Iran, claiming that they somehow got their hands on Tomahawk missiles. But when confronted with the fact that he was the only one making that assertion, he retreated once again to “I don’t know”.

It’s another one of his “tells”: any time he claims not to know, he’s lying.
Any story he tells that begins with someone calling him “sir”, he’s lying.
Every time he claims whatever he’s done is the most, biggest, best, etc., he’s lying.
And so on…

Now he's more like Sgt Schultz from Hogan's Heroes (who was actually a decent fellow, for a German prison guard).

He responded "I don't know about it", meaning he doesn't know about the report.

I'm not trying to defend that Mierda47.

I don't know if a report has been released, but maybe the reporter was asking when the report would be released, but screwed up the question.
