Simple questions the press should ask?

[kentuck]

Someone in the WH press corps asked the question from a distance yesterday and Trump ignored the question. He was complaining about how the press was not "fair" to him and someone in the crowd asked, "How?"

How is the press being "unfair" to him? That is a question he should answer or he should stop complaining.

Another question that should be asked constantly whenever he complains about the "fake news". Give us names.

Who is the "fake news"? And "Why are they fake"?

A CNN reporter attempted to ask SHS that question yesterday and she pretended not to hear.

The people deserve to know who is being "unfair" to Trump and they deserve to know who the WH considers to be "fake news"?

In my opinion, there is nothing that Trump would like more right now than to have a big battle with the press. Because when the Mueller report comes down, he will want to have the country as divided as possible over the issue of the "media". The more people that can be made to distrust and reject the mainstream media, the better for Donald Trump. He is attempting to trap the media in his game of discrediting all those that report on him in any negative way.

1. They need to stop coddling him and report the truth. Every minute of every day.

They still treat him with kid gloves. Sadly he is a product of their making, for failing to report the truth from the get go.

2. What would Jesus do?

He claims to be a Christian. But Jesus would kick his lying, hate-mongering butt.

8. Trump has never cracked a Bible in his life.

He probably thinks the Mount of Olives is a nationwide chain of cheap Italian restaurants.

3. "Everybody knows" what they're talking about

The problem, of course, is that nobody knows what the administration is talking about. It doesn't require a deep dive into the rhetorical hinterlands; it's as simple as asking, "Could you give us and the American people some examples of what you're talking about when you say, 'X'?" Where 'X' is whatever hobgoblin is currently rattling around in Trump's alleged brain.

They're going to ignore the questions, that's for sure. But they should still be asked, so that the report can include, "The President (or Press Secretary Sanders, or whoever) refused to specify what he/she/they meant by 'X.'"

9. Exactly.

It's really just that simple.

"My remarks were taken out of context."

"Really? So in what context, exactly, did you intend your remarks to be taken?"

Is it that hard? I thought these "journalists" go to school to learn this stuff.

11. That and "some people say"...

4. I wonder the same thing. All the time. n/t

5. But, but, but we NEED to know EXACTLY which news org he says is fake. We need names!

How will we know who our enemy is supposed to be if SHS and the admin won't name names?

Duh!!!!!

6. here's one: who told Bowers the caravan is a threat?

Who told Bowers that the caravan is a threat to the U.S.?
Follow-up: Who told Bowers that the caravan was paid to come to the U.S. by George Soros?
Follow-up: Who made it legal to buy a weapon better than the ones we provided our soldiers in Vietnam?

7. Trump's definition of fair is the same one our daughter used when she was ten.

"Fair" is when he gets his own way. In this case fawning coverage by the press. Anything else is unfair.

10. Trump talks and behaves like a little kid.

And not a sweet, innocent little kid who doesn't know any better, but a little kid who is constantly furious that people don't want him to have his own way and who is constantly acting out.

He's like that superbratty boy on Game of Thrones who's still breastfeeding at the age of ten.

Most people go through all the normal stages of cognitive development and become more-or-less adults around the age of 18. But most people and their parents deal with the normal stresses and strains of life, and this shapes us. I submit to you that Trump never had to deal with that. He has never, in his entire life, ever wanted for anything or had to deal with the consequences of any of his actions. And so he basically stopped growing up.

He is a 5th- or 6th-grader in a grown man's body. And now he's an OLD man, and I suspect he's showing signs of dementia, so now we are dealing with the reality of a cognitively impaired elementary school kid as President of the USA. Let that sink in
