Press conference is a joke until Obamacare question (now). Spicer is now stumbling

[anneboleyn]

and stuttering and his voice is shaking. Claiming that everyone in the country was in danger of losing health care but the president's "plan" will fix all of that in a jiffy. When pushed to say a few things about the plan, Spicer fell apart, started laughing nervously, stuttering, sweating, looking like an idiot in way over his head. Otherwise the questions are SHAMEFUL! "How does Trump feel about women in the workforce?" "How will Melania decorate things for the governor's ball this weekend?" After a series of these ridiculously lightweight questions -- "what will Pres Trump do if Meryl Streep says something at the Oscars?" (I am not joking). Once again, Spicer and co are clearly choosing friendly press sources, and not one serious question was posed until the health care question.

Spicer cut that reporter off and is now back to calling on reporters whose questions are VERY friendly (the second slightly challenging question was just asked about Trump hiring only pro-Trump people but Spicer just word-vomited through it with zero follow up). Now he is trying to joke and giggle his way through a question about Trump's new executive order. Very lame.

A DUer was wondering about the infamous pro-Trump Russian Boris -- he is there in the press room, sitting in the front row (on the side in the front).

1. Surreal, they want the creepiest level of control.

[pkdu]

2. yep , and I didnt hear a single question on Russia either. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. No questions about the Russian coup occurring as we speak?

Then we deserve the nightmare outcome that will destroy us all.

[anneboleyn]

9. Not one that I heard. Russian traitors but the country *really cares* about Melania and the gov ball

Ugh. Vomit -- and just when I was starting to have a tiny bit of respect for our media again for going after the Russian story.

[leftstreet]

4. Did Melissa say WHAT Trump would do about Streep?

I can't fucking believe these morons

[forgotmylogin]

7. HA!

I so want the legit news to start yelling MELISSA at press conferences!

[mtngirl47]

8. He said that Trump would be too busy with

the Governor's Ball that he and Melania are having that night.

[robertpaulsen]

5. How pathetic.

Shame on Spicer AND the lightweight reporters for not following up on that.

[rickford66]

6. I hope someone asks what Trump's favorite color is aside from gold

Enquiring people want to know

[anneboleyn]

11. Yes and does he like kittens or puppies (why doesn't Trump have a pet anyway?) I still remember

the bullshit hysteria over the Clinton cat -- because real presidents have dogs according to the republicans in those days -- and Obama's dog wasn't quite right either -- but Trump can't be bothered with any pet at all. Yet you never hear about it. Another sign of his incredible narcissism perhaps? We all know that he couldn't stand it if a dog (and let's be honest any animal would be preferable) stole the spotlight from the "leader."

[rickford66]

13. KO did a segment about Trump never having had a pet.

It really revealed a lot about this awful, self-centered, oxygen thief.

[Angry Dragon]

16. That is a good thing

He would have killed it somehow

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Boxers or Briefs?

Depends.

[murielm99]

10. The general public asked better questions

at the town hall I attended last night. Geeze-Louise.

[Grammy23]

14. I did notice a certain jocularity to his answers today.

Lots of smiles, grins and goofy looks. He came ready for a laugh fest instead of loaded for bear.
Father Mulcahy would be proud.

[Angry Dragon]

15. Trump has opened a Clown College in the White House
