He asked bad questions. Stupid questions. Terrible ones. They were mean and nasty questions as any two or three-year-old would say about something they didn't like.

They should cover, but not live and only air anything helpful, which would basically mean not airing it. Trump thinks, and rightfully, that he can control the narrative or at least the media cycle. The media, always looking for a train wreck, will dutifully be there to air it all live. I think they are hoping for an on air melt down, where Trump just jumps from the podium and tries to strangle a reporter live on the air. Yet, they give him free air time.

And it seems like while they're chewing the fat over it, Trump, or more likely his enablers and cronies slip things in during the distraction. Or they ignore the confession/threat aspect of so much of what he says.
