Is the pressure getting to our President?

[Oddball]

What would have happened if a journalist had stood up and called Trump a “bad President” and “nasty”??

Have you been in a coma since that fateful day in 2015, when he came down the escalator?

The answer is.....Journalists have too much integrity to engage in personal attacks.

Hopefully America (assuming we survive) has learned her lesson.

We're not that great about learning from our mistakes.

History repeats itself to be sure. But hopefully our memory of this particular FUBAR lasts at least a generation.

Not positive. Would not be surprised to see the Democrats pick some figurehead of equally little experience, judgement and character withing the next 3 cycles.

Kathy Griffin, Samantha Bee or Amy Schumer maybe? Doubtful. I have to say however that Tom Hanks might be a pretty decent POTUS assuming he recovers from the Trump Virus. And it looks pretty good!

Tom Hanks and his wife, the actor and singer Rita Wilson, are “not great” but “feeling better every day”, according to his sister, Sandra. The couple are in self-isolation after being discharged from a Queensland hospital following almost a week’s stay.

Sandra Hanks Benoiton told People: “Tom and Rita are doing very well and continue to recover. Their recovery is very much on course for healthy adults with this virus. They are feeling better each day.”

Earlier this week, Hanks posted an update saying the symptoms were “much the same … no fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch.”

Hanks is a generally nice guy and I wish them the best, but the job actually does call for some experience in government, and time and history answering to an electorate. More likely and equally disastrous would be somebody like Oprah. Scared the $hit out of me, when I heard her floated by the more nearsighted left fringe.

You're right of course. No more billionaire TeeVee stars PLEASE!

Trump is asked a legitimate question about what he has to say to Americans who are scared

Trump viciously attacks NBC News reporter in extended rant after being asked for message to Americans worried about coronavirus - CNN

Alexander asked, "What do you say to Americans who are scared?"

Trump, shaking his head, ripped into Alexander in response.
"I say that you are a terrible reporter," Trump replied. "That's what I say."
The President proceeded to launch into an extended rant against Alexander, saying he asked a "nasty question" and assailing NBC and its parent company, Comcast.
"You're doing sensationalism," Trump charged. "And the same with NBC and Comcast. I don't call it Comcast. I call it 'Con-Cast.'"
"Let me just tell you something," Trump added. "That's really bad reporting. And you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism."

What Trump should have said is turn off your news, read the CDC and WHO bulletins and turn on AM radio to the Goverment signal for any emergency updates...

No what he should have said was:

It's going to be ok. We are all going to be ok. We are strong. We can get through this. We are Americans. We can do anything. We work hard and will beat this virus. Then come back stronger for it.

He should have been reassuring like a real leader is in times like this.

Should the bush boy have not gone to ground zero with the first responders and his bull horn? He did what a real president should and does do. Encourage people. Reassure them.

Should the bush boy not have spent so much time with the families of those who died on 9-11? Should he have not comforted them, hugged them and reassured them?

The bush boy gave this whole nation a huge hug, reassurance and encouragement to get through the horrible days after that attack.

trump was given the opportunity to finally do something like that by that reporter.

He blew it.

Big time.

'Vicious attacks"....lmao

After three years, you'd think that these media pussies could take a verbal punch.

Actually, I thought a 73 year old man who had borne the mantle of the American presidency would have matured to the point he would comport himself with maturity, dignity and solemnity rather than acting like a professional wrestler suffering from diaper rash. The president should never punch down. The president should govern.

That he doesn't suffer fools asking idiotic baiting questions is the best thing about the man...The left's sniveling and hand wringing over his refusal to put up with it says more about you than him.

What could you say to Americans who are scared is now an idiotic, baiting question. Another sad, frightening and immature rationalization as a consequence of a cult of personality rather than an informed citizenry.

I'm very informed....To the point that it's easy for me to recognize that this whole thing is the greatest media incited episode of mass hysteria since War of the Words...Quite far from scared, I find it all extremely boring.

What was fake or nasty about the question?

What was fake or nasty about the question?

Timing......................and a useless question.......They were talking about HOPE. The new Cure that has possibilities...................and how it may be why Germany has a lower death rate.

BTW........My hats off to Germany who has been using this.........WE HOPE..........even though LIBERAL get offended by saying that Word......that this is a Cure that will SAVE LIVES.

Oh.........that is what they were saying when the moron ASKED what to say to Scared people.

Um...........He just answered that before the Moron used the set up question.

What was the set up question?

Why would the president take “people are scared” as a personal attack? A nasty question?

WTF?

That is the set up question............

Either answer you give they will hit you with a stick...........There IS NO CORRECT ANSWER.......

BS..........He just talked about a HOPEFUL DRUG......and then they take the Ice BUCKET CHALLENGE with that question.

Pence answered the same question with 'be vigilant '. Why couldn'tTrump summon that level of responsibility?

The topic at hand in the presser was about a possible new drug to save lives......and this reporter purposely went 180 degrees away from it....In Trumps answer he talked ABOUT HOPE........NOT FEAR.

The FUCKING QUESTION WAS ALREADY ANSERED..........That guy needs to go play in Traffic............and I've already stated..............if they did that to me there would be no press in the briefings AT ALL.

Why should Trump be immune to answering a responsible question? Namely; what could you say to Americans who are scared. And a self promoting, hyperbole prone, lying buffoon be regarded as a responsible leader in the midst of a global pandemic? We went shopping for leadership on the corner of Incompetence Avenue and Corruption Boulevard. And here we are.

The only ones irresponsible are the Media.............when they push Panic and Fear over HOPE..........

I wouldn't have been very nice.......as a matter of fact I would give briefings and no questions anymore.........cut them off............

He is under no obligation to allow questions........They can pound sand.

He IS obliged to give true information, not hunches and happy talk. Citizens need real information in crisises like this. When the experts are forced to clarify at best, disavow and walk back at worst, Trump is causing more panic than anyone. Do you imagine the media boogeyman is also responsible for the information driving the markets into panic? Accept the fact you support an incompetent buffoon more willing to promote lies (as he has always done) than communicate valid information. This ain't a resort opening, this is the time for the grown ups to govern.

TDS and nothing more here.........go play in traffic with that Moron.......you are a pair.

Information to the public on this topic...........a possible TREATMENT is very HOPEFUL..........and we believe it is saving lives and could save more lives...........In another note........Please TURN OFF THE MEDIA when they preach FEAR..........

Vaccines are in testing as well.................

What do the MEDICAL EXPERTS say? They have to respond responsibly, not with "hunches"!

You must accept this basic fact: not all Americans are as susceptible to low brow time share condo salesman bullshit as you are. Some of us look at things through the lens of pragamatism and responsibility, not hype and grievance.

So, a fearmongering CNN reporter is using this pandemic to rack up 'points' against our President. You are no better.

Actually he asked a question. Rump couldn't handle it.

Again.

it was a cheap ass set up question. not a legitimate question from a legitimate reporter seeking facts. Trump slapped the guy down verbally and it was exactly the called for response.

He has the best medical minds in the country working on this 24/7 and for a reporter to engage in fear mongering is juvenile and shows a total lack of understanding.

Another partisan whack job that got put in his place. Great job Mr president.

"Great job" at dividing and polarizing people, no question. Get it? No question? Haw, I kill me.

Matter of fact that's exactly why Rump's disapproval rating has held steady for his entire term. Because the first thing he did, way before the election, was start dividing people into tribes, complete with "beat the crap out of 'im" and "nothing you can do, although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is". And of course demonizing the free press in the ignoble tradition of Stalin, Chávez, Wilson, Nixon and of course that Austrian corporal. Whelp --- those tribes continue to hold, don't they. Tell us about yours. Do y'all dance naked in the forest around a bigly banner of a fake Time Magazine cover or what? Fly radio-controlled model Revolutionary War planes? Dance on rooftops?

Is the pressure getting to our President?

Why? Is that the goal?

.

No. But it's a key external indicator of the lack of moral character and empathy and psychological health needed in a leader in such a time.

and crazy old evil Hillary would have been better?? WTF, dude?

What was the setup?

Why can’t Trump address the fact that people are scared?

He has addressed that in every press briefing, but you libs want him to focus on it and raise the panic level. And why do you want that? can you be honest about it? Because your only criteria here is to damage his reelection chances, you libs don't give a shit about stopping the virus or saving american lives, all you care about is putting more of your socialist america-hating assholes in power. and you fricken well know it

Why wouldn’t he feel comfortable in addressing people who are scared?
If he has addressed it before, why not just say ......I have already addressed that

Now, can you be honest with us?
Do you think Trump went off the deep end with that response?

Would he have responded the same if Hannity had asked it

I do not think his response to that asshole was inappropriate in any way. Certain media outlets have been trying to use the virus as a political tool. If you cannot understand that, then maybe you are one of them.

Hannity would not have asked such a stupid question, so your analogy is invalid.

"Asshole"??

The freaking POUTUS was handed an open invitation to speak words of inspiration. An opportunity to go down in the history books with a timeless quote. And all he had was vitriol. WHO does that make the "asshole"? WHO?

Donald has been insane since he got this job. And he’s getting worse as he fails more and more. He is ill-equipped to deal with this crisis and his efforts to downplay and lie were failures

They truly are the nattering nabobs of negativism.

now stfu you idiot trumpkin

The slightest amount of pressure causes our babyman president to degenerate quickly into a child like state.

There's no way this thin skinned, incapable man navigated the hardball business community for decades while being like this. Clearly Trump has lost his faculties, with age.

There's nothing to disagree with there...Trump was universally disdained at the outset by pecksniffian neocon snobs like George Will and Bill Krystol, who spared no opportunity to call him every nasty name in the book from day one...He only got propped up by the press until it became evident that he was going to be the nominee, and it has been a total smear-and-defame shitstorm from that point on from the "journalists"...Watching them collectively shit all over themselves on the night 8 Nov '16, after it became evident that he was going to be elected, was several hours of the most revealing teevee I've ever seen.

History repeats itself to be sure. But hopefully our memory of this particular FUBAR lasts at least a generation.

Not positive. Would not be surprised to see the Democrats pick some figurehead of equally little experience, judgement and character withing the next 3 cycles.

Kathy Griffin, Samantha Bee or Amy Schumer maybe? Doubtful. I have to say however that Tom Hanks might be a pretty decent POTUS assuming he recovers from the Trump Virus. And it looks pretty good!

Tom Hanks and his wife, the actor and singer Rita Wilson, are “not great” but “feeling better every day”, according to his sister, Sandra. The couple are in self-isolation after being discharged from a Queensland hospital following almost a week’s stay.

Earlier this week, Hanks posted an update saying the symptoms were “much the same … no fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch.”

Hanks is a generally nice guy and I wish them the best, but the job actually does call for some experience in government, and time and history answering to an electorate. More likely and equally disastrous would be somebody like Oprah. Scared the $hit out of me, when I heard her floated by the more nearsighted left fringe.

Hard to say "equally" disastrous though --- simply to jettison the petulant pouting primadonna-poisoned personality would be progress all by itself.
