3. oh-so satisfying fantasy scenario

At Trump's next "substitute Hillbilly Hate Rally" briefing, some reporter asks him: "After being apprised of the danger way back in January, you did nothing for the next 10 weeks except lie, saying it’s fake, saying it's just a Democratic hoax. There are still people today who believe that, to their detriment. That may well prove to be the most irresponsible act of an elected official ever witnessed in anyone's lifetime. Are you ready now to apologize to the American people for your malfeasance, step aside from these briefings, and allow knowledgeable adults do the talking instead of making everyone listen to your childish, attention-seeking blather of misinformation?"
And then, after Trump insults the reporter in a rage and refuses to answer, the next reporter asks him the *exact same question.* And so on, and so on, until Captain Queeg breaks down in an apoplectic fit of spittle-spewing profanity, and has to be dragged away from the podium.
