It’s the latest in a string of attacks the president has launched at female journalists who ask him challenging questions.

    Trump’s ever-worsening dementia is causing his deep misogyny and obsessive tendencies to go into overdrive. We’re being subjected to the ramblings of a demented old pedophile by a group of capitalist criminals who refuse to depose him. Good times.

      His misogyny, along with his racism, ableism, jingoism, etc.isms weren’t that deep. His showman personality was enough to hide his skin-deep defects.

    Ok so it’s:

    1. We’re not going to touch the East Wing
    2. Just kidding, we destroyed the entire thing
    3. We’re going to pay for the whole $400M
    4. Nevermind the funding we received, we’re now going to use taxpayer money to fund $400M
    5. Just kidding, it’s $1B now

      He originally said it would cost $200M. The cost has already doubled once…

    How has no reporter told him to go fuck himself to his face? Way more restraint than I’d have.

      Because doing so will utterly black ball you from ever having a position again because you are risking taking away the media’s access to the USA president, even if he’s a panzy ass, little bitch boy of a rapist pedophile cannibal.

        Oh it would be career ruining. But I’m still surprised at the restraint of all of them. That someone hasn’t boiled over (yet) is impressive.

    One day I’d like to see a female reporter lose her cool one day and slap that pig in the face.

    Trump only acts this way because people let him get away with it.

        If you’re in the USA, that’s how you get a visit from the Secret Service (anyone else find it ironic it’s SS.) Outside the USA depending on country you might get a visit from local forces.

          That sounded to me more like what my wife’s grandpa did when sundowning where he would start a word, forget it partway in, but remember the intent and just change words.

            His handlers read him a list of the words he can’t say. They probably have to remind him 5 times before meeting the press.

    Too many people think anything they don’t immediately understand means the other person’s intelligence has to be the problem…

    It’s usually the opposite, but it’s not just a problem for trumpets.

    Very few people actually ask questions anymore in an attempt to understand others, they just care if it agrees or disagree with their own opinions.

    There’s ballooning now? No wonder it’s so expensive, though I imagine they can utilize the abundance of hot air produced in the building.
