I am not advocating physical violence, but sometimes I wonder about people like him who run from fear, but at the same time are so confrontational. Didn't he ever get his ass kicked, because of his mouth?

even if he was unarmed!

The self-image this man has is amazing--so inflated, so exactly the opposite of what he truly is.

recognize her as from some organization that he didn't want to talk to?

He was saying, "Sit down" and she was telling him, "Sir you called on me"

WTF happened?

So he decided to take out some of his anger on her. Had she been like the other access media lemmings in the white house press corps and quickly started asking her own question, it would have allowed him to switch subjects and avoid the other reporters insightful question.

I believe she deferred back to the first reporter, who hadn't got an answer, pissing him off. Then he wouldn't let Collins have her question.

See, this is what the press needs to do when he avoids giving a straight answer: The next reports needs to simply ask the same question. Once he realized the 3rd reporter (Alcindor) wasn't giving in, tRump knew he'd been had, and ran away.

I think he ran because even he knew this wouldn't bode well for him.

He thinks if he puts up signs and has the testing equipment all around him during a speech it means he's doing a good job. That's how shallow, pathetic and out of touch he is. Replace this ass.

Fuck his minions, his followers, and anyone who ever supported him in any way. Every one of these assholes is dead to me. I will not cross the street to piss on any of them if they are on fire. Save yourselves assholes, do not ask me for even the simplest of favors. I rebuke your existence, now and forevermore. In other words, fuck off if you support tRump, or ever did support that POS.

Asking Don the hard questions - his response?

Trump: Aww, you are supposed to ask questions that make me look good, I just said something that makes me look good, you are supposed to play along!

Reporter 1: Just asswer the question, please.
Reporter 2: Yeah, what she said!

Trump: Not fair, I'm going to go now!

Man-Baby is POTUS? So sad, so bad, so bigly babyish!
