Trump snaps on NBC reporter at press conference :dahell:

[CrimsonTider]

I will be in the minority in here, but I agree with Trump on that snap.

These reporters want you to answer questions about the virus at this time, but also try to get you in a 'gotcha' answer during the press conference. Reporters make me sick sometimes.

This was due to Trump hyping up a bullshyt cure in previous press conferences. There's no gotcha here.

Cool. Again, I can just be reacting to a soundbite, which is a problem as well. So I apologize. My point is more so reporters and their questions overall moreso then this specific instance. Overall, of course Trump deserves to get raked over the coals.

Reporter: What do you say to peaple who are scared?
Trump:

It was a legit question dumbass

Even Pence answered it correctly telling the American people to be vigilant

If Trump wasn't such a garbage human being, I would sympathize. I get where he was coming from . But fukk him

"Concast" But your administration is backing them in the Byron Allen case, so they must not be that bad

Yeah... there's a bit of misrepresentation and carry over between the question, the treatment thing mentioned, and the framing of each.

Trump brought up some things yesterday to lead into nationally introducing more lenient standards regarding Right to Try and Compassionate Use (which is horrifying in its own way but I think people do a shytty job at knowing what to panic about). Bringing up a specific drug or treatment possibility and its 'relative safety' isn't the same as it being called a cure. Fauci and Trump bump heads all the time regarding managing expectations. The doctor is obviously going to be extra quick dead shyt like that because he knows how it sounds...

Fast forward to today and its suddenly a wonder drug - that's kinda BS. SO what I'm getting at is is: Trump flipped on dude for where the conversation was going, not for the question.

These daily press conferences are generally depressing and hilarious at the same time. It'd be solid reality TV if the stakes weren't so horrifying.

 

[Worthless Loser]

We need people to start calling Trump out. Dead ass!

Trump just doubles down.

Thats not what I said. I am coming at this looking at reporters. As in all the questions at that time were about the new plans, and that he answered that question earlier in the conference. Just like when reporters ask athletes about things that dont have to do with their game, the specific press conference. At that point of the conference, he is getting out the info about what they were trying to do. I get it though. Its Trump, so fukk him and I agree. We will just go with that.

The thing is that by the time somebody runs for or holds the job of POTUS, they've held national or high local positions / office before and are adept at answering questions from reporters.
Can't expect reporters to change their line of questioning for the guy whose first political office happens to be the presidency.
Any other president would have been asked that question in this situation. Trump should used that question as an opportunity to reassure the American people that we will pull through.

 

[LeVraiPapi]

Nah, didnt say the question wasnt fair. Im saying the 'hope' part was also in the answer. He said lets try this drug, this method. Im saying reporters stay trying to ask questions off topic. Just like the Asian reporter who was trying to get out the 'kung flu' question but got cut off 2-3 times in there. Im also not saying reporters dont have a right to get mad and take offense.
Also, chill with the STFU via message. Thats cool. Have an adult convo.

Have you looked at the death toll and infected cases ? Have you ? Trump misled the American public and now he wanna backtrack on a drug he said was gonna be the cure.

 

[King Poetic]

Dude never take criticism

he continued to blame Obama administration

I inherited this, I inherited that
