  1. And the rest of the press corps remained silent and didn’t stand up for a fellow journalist. They just wait their turn to be attacked and then write an article about their experience.

    He literally only has like five adjectives in his entire vocabulary. the moment he gets asked a real question about election interference or the fbi, it’s straight back to the default “rotten reporter” script tbh. so predictable.

    Notice how he completely avoids addressing the actual substance of the question about arizona. attacking the journalist is just his automatic defense mechanism when he gets caught off guard and the teleprompter can’t save him ngl.

  4. Alright… here’s a question.

    How was the FBI able to find these records, and not the furry gunnaman that killed Charlie Kirk until he turned himself in?

    In following, are these records related to FBI Director Kash Patel using a private jet to party with the US Olympic men’s hockey team in Milan?

    Or, Director Patel ordering agents to arrest former FBI Director James Comey?

  5. That what he does. Doesn’t answer the question and responds with insults. The same interactions i have with conservatives.

    Silly woman for asking the President of the United States, **elected to serve the citizenry of the United States and not his own naked ambition**, a question that she has every right to ask.

    Trump has a history of treating female journalists in particular with utter contempt.

    Trump’s excesses will continue only as long as people sit back and allow it.

    Just imagine the impact it could have made if the rest of the press had insisted on the President treating that person with the respect she deserved and also insisting on a proper response to the question.

    Sometimes small actions can help bring about big changes.

    He does this when he doesn’t want to answer the question.

    And the entire press corps let’s go get away with it.

    Years ago, “Fake news” should have been met with significant resistance from reporters since it was a lie meant to sew distrust in our news.

    Don’t they have any pride. Im amazed the other reporters just take it.

    Direct link? That website is cancer and my pixel phone can’t survive it, let alone navigate to any video…..

    Trump is angry about being on the record dodging the question but it’s a legitimate question.

    Trump lost every court case he brought about election fraud, over 50 of them.

    There is no legitimate reason for the FBI to be seizing voting records.

  12. Isn’t it interesting that if he was just held accountable like Prince Andrew and many others, then he would not have had the opportunity to start a new war?

  13. At least he didn’t call her “Piggy”. Anyway, it has become a bad habit to attack female reporters when they corner him.

    Journalists, this is your sign to press the issue as it is the sign he’s trying to hide something

    Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He will lie, gaslight, manipulate, deflect, DARVO and use every manipulation tactic available to achieve his goals with absolutely zero empathy for anyone in his way.

    If you haven’t been on the sharp end of an interaction with a cluster B personality disordered person you really have no concept of the ruthlessness and selfishness they’re capable of.

    Trump is so pathetic that he has to call people names. He is a five-year-old. He can’t even act like an adult. SMH.

    Instead of making jokes and complaining why not channel energy into solving the problem.

    At that moment the reporter should have said: “are you calling me rotten?! Why thank you, that means I’m doing my job. You get the most upset when it’s true and it doesn’t fit your narrative.” Then proceed to ask more questions about the records requests and see if he gets so irate to the point where his blood pressure spikes and then ________. (You fill in the blank)

    Just once, just ONCE, I want to see someone reply “I’m a great reporter, you’re just too clueless to actually know.”

    Of course, the headline is that the Felon president made an insult… and not that he ordered the FBI to violate millions of voters’ rights.

    The latter is basically a footnote to the media these days.

    Malignant narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of self-worth, a craving for admiration, and a profound disregard for others’ feelings. Key traits include aggression, manipulation, paranoia, and a lack of remorse for harmful actions.

    Aggression and Sadism:
    A tendency toward aggression and, in some cases, taking pleasure in the pain of others.

    Grandiosity and Entitlement:
    An extreme sense of superiority and the belief that they deserve special treatment.

    Insane the potus speaks like this. This is the man we want our current generation of kids to mimic and listen to apparently. The potus is to lead by example. This is it folks. If you’re not acting or talking like djt you are the problem. 

  22. Lorsqu’il dit que c’est une mauvaise chose, c’est que t’as touché une corde sensible! 🤔

  23. I still don’t understand how the journalists en mass aren’t just raising against this bully.
    He made it simple. They all just need to say: Quiet piggy.

    Wait, the FBI seized Arizona voting records, and the first I’m hearing of this is t***p’s braindead remarks?

    Dead media theory.

    (Edit: if I were to guess it would have to do with the 2020 fake investigation recently conducted to distract from investigating the 2024 election and also reading the Epstein files.)

    *Press walks into to the Oval Office to find Trump bludgeoning an already not breathing Marco Rubio with his own oversized shoes*
    Press: “Sir, you’ve just killed Marco Rubio!”
    Trump: “Women have smaller brains than men!”
    The headlines: “Trump belittles reporter and claims women have smaller brains”
    🤦‍♂️focus on the story PLEEEEEEEAAAAASE!!!
