Trump Lashes Out at Two Reporters in Bizarre Tarmac Scrum, Calls One a 'Criminal' for Not Covering H

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump went off on the media on Monday while holding a tarmac press scrum before his campaign rally in Arizona.

...

After sneering at the reporter’s “dedication” to the question, Trump moved on without offering a direct answer. After that, he took a question on why his apparent campaign strategy is to label Biden a criminal.

“He is a criminal” Trump answered, referring to the dubiously-sourced New York Post report on the ex-veep’s son, Hunter.

“And you know who’s a criminal here? You’re a criminal for not reporting it,” Trump said — pointing at the reporter who asked the question.

The media puts it on the air and trump says they won’t report on it.

If they gave Biden equal time I wouldn’t care but shit is just plain shit.

Joe's ignoring his barbs, digs, and all the BS stories they're pushing out. If there's one thing Dump can't stand, it's being ignored.

Or until it means in his favor. That's what he did with "fake news."

Now he's going at it with "criminal." He's trying to evacuate it of any meaning other than meaning that benefits him.

Or does the corporate media outrage machine only get cranked up when a Democrat mildly chides a reporter?

....were whining about Biden "snapping" at a reported who questioned him about Hunter. It was a polite rebuff.

But they all forget how trump has treated Kaitlen Collins, Abby Phillip, and Jim Acosta, and how he snapped at someone "that's a stupid question", etc.

Funny how the worm turns!

no matter how far fetched and that makes him dangerous.

My friend was in the grocery store today and the girl bagging her purchase had her mask pulled down, My friend, speaking to the cashier, managed to mention that we'll all be in trouble if people don't start wearing masks. The bagger jumped in with "how do you know the masks aren't the problem?".

Thanx Trump, you educated another follower.
