Reporter to Trump: "Do you regret all of the lying you have done to the American people?"

Reporter to Trump: "Do you regret all of the lying you have done to the American people?"

S.V. Dáte, a White House reporter for HuffPost, asked President Trump at a briefing Thursday if he regrets "all of the lying" he has done "to the American people" over the last three and a half years.

Why it matters: The Washington Post fact-checker finds that Trump has made over 20,000 false or misleading claims throughout his presidency. Trump, who has rarely been confronted directly with claims that he has lied, paused for a moment before moving on to another reporter without answering the question.

The exchange:

REPORTER: "Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you've done to the American people?"

TRUMP: "All the what?"

REPORTER: "All the lying. All the dishonesties."

TRUMP: "And who is that?"

REPORTER: "You have done."

Trump just moved on to the next questioner.

AFT reporters started letting him have some hardball questions.

NEVER support that misogynistic POS! I don't know what they are (I could hazard a guess) but they aren't women. Maybe their husbands turned them into RW Stepford Wives/robots.

And expand asking about his closeness with G. Maxwell and Epstein , and his involvement with payoffs made. Or was he aware of the plot to kill Khashoggi before he was murdered. They need to put pressure on him daily , and keep asking him every day when he refuses to answer a question.
