not burst into hysterical laughter when Trump called Comey a showboat and a grandstander?

(5,808 posts)at a snake (tRump). So he kept his game face on but you know he wanted to howl at some of the crazier things tRump said. But any sign from Lester that he was laughing at tRump and tRump would have bolted from the room before Lester finished asking his questions. So he wisely kept it professional.

No, better to act professional, let him give his talking points to all the mindless idiots following the interview, and refrain from presenting the truth, or questioning the orange man's LIES.
In good time, I'm sure Trump will have something bad to say about Lester. Ya see, when you don't poke a snake with a stick. When you don't try to stab it to death. That snake will come back and KILL YOU. Or in this case, make you irrelevant, which Drumpf is becoming very successful at in regards to the media.
