Trump had a hard time saying the word "selflessness"

He seemed to almost choke on it. I find that telling.

A surefire way to end Trump's BS at these daily virus pressers

Edited for grammar mistake

1 Direct all questions to the experts in the room and treat Trump like he's not even there. When Trump opens it up for questions and points to a reporter, that reporter should bypass Trump and say "Dr Fauci, I have a question for you...".

2 If Trump jumps in and tries to answer instead, repeat "I want to hear that from the doctor". Make it obvious that the press is there to hear only from experts and not the man child.

3 If there is a question about policy ask Pence directly instead of Trump. He's supposed to be running this anyway.

4 If Trump insists that questions go through him, don't raise hands

5 If Trump shuts it down because he can't run the show, so be it. It'll look bad on him. What's he going to do, have a fit that nobody's paying attention to him?


Asking Trump questions gets nothing done anyway. He either gives some gas lighting non- answer, or he starts a fight. The rest of the time he's congratulating himself.

Trump loves to be contentious with the press. It's red meat to his base and it feeds his fragile ego. It's all shtick, a big performance like the smack talk they do in big time wrestling. Take it away from him.


If anyone here knows anyone in the press please suggest this to them, maybe they'll consider it.

Thanks

America is not the same anymore

Warn your shipmates about a virus and you're called stupid. Raise a concern about hospital supplies and you're belittled. Protect a whistle blower and you get fired.

Sick of hearing them being referred to as "President Trump's guidelines"

Hey ass kissers, Trump didn't invent the guidelines. He never even actually took them seriously.

If this Country was actually in a conventional war...

would Trump expect the governors of each state to wage it separately?

Whatever happened with John Bolton's book?

You don't hear anything about it anymore.

Watching the presser...

thinking of how late they are in getting around to a lot of the things they're talking about. I was under the impression they were further along with the production and supplies than what I'm hearing.

Trump used backdrop of hospital ship for self aggrandizing speech

I don't why this particular thing he has done disgusts me so much, but it just does.
