There was a press conference. It was interesting.

Trump was a complete arsehole with most reporters, but particularly with the Jewish and the black reporters.
I'm sure his answer and treatment of the poor man went well in his community. Not that Trump cares, I don't think.

As was reported. Less Than Adequately Hinged. Wink

When will a reporter get attacked doing their job?
or a judge?

.... Do you think he could tweet "I am Hitler reincarnated and want you all to die", and people would still rave for him?

Well indeed, we said only a few days ago that "America First" and "American People" would have the rider "but only for the Right Sort of American".

Destiny - "Haha the Last Leg did an America First video...but it was RUSSIA FIRST!!"

Dammit - I've been scooped! I made that joke on the last Trump thread.

Cherrysoup · 17/02/2017 23:17

It's about the newbie press reporter in the press pool who finally got to ask a question-and the awful way Trump treated him

The Jewish guy? The video is shameful, Trump tells him to ask an easy question, he does, Trump doesn't like it and tells him to sit down like a naughty schoolboy. Horrific.

Last leg Russia First!

I wish someone would sit hit down and explain stuff, like how stuff works.

saffronwblue · 17/02/2017 23:45

Loved it

peaceout · 17/02/2017 23:46

I suppose it depends what you mean by 'effective'!

It very effectively made him look like an odious old whining windbag :o

stop fecking whingeing on and on you stupid old duffer!

can you imagine!
his eyes would glaze over, then he'd he'd start with the ranting about FAKE this that and the other
blah blah blah blah

I wish someone would wrestle him to the ground and inject him with a massive dose of largactil aka 'liquid cosh'

The best way to report is to report what he stated, his reaction to questions and the things he said that were true and those that weren't true.

I mean people could mention the fact he asked a reporter to set up a meeting with a group who it seems already tried to arrange to meet up, had nothing to say on the Israeli issue, Russia, Iran, hate crime - and kept looking for nice questions.

Foreign policy is serious. Being President is serious. He is supposed to be President for the whole USA.

Looking forward to the Florida rally tomorrow. Big crowd expected!

cue much disagreement about the actual size of the crowd, lets hope there is copious photographic evidence to contradict his exaggerated claims

"One of the most effective press conferences I've ever seen!" says Rush Limbaugh. Many agree.Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently! Dishonest"

Objectively, his response to the question on anti Semitic attacks and his false claims about his election victory make it impossible to judge the press conference a success.

I understand that some people enjoy seeing him be rude to journalists, but I can't understand why anybody wouldn't be worried by those exchanges.

BagelGoesWalking · 18/02/2017 00:19

Trump prog on Sky News at the moment, interviewed some Trump supporters, one said it was the best press conference he'd ever seen! What the hell? I mean, how can anyone say that?

Roussette · 18/02/2017 00:22

Cherry yes. I found the way he treated that jewish guy quite upsetting . I saw it live. It was horrible.

TheClaws · 18/02/2017 00:23

Repeating tweets now - just rearranging the words and CAPSLOCKing a couple, just in case we didn't understand the first tweet. Did you know Rush Limburgh really loved the presser? Thought is was awesome?

Also, can someone tell me what DT was going on about when he was talking about Hillary Clinton's "reset" and the "plastic button"? He really lost me there.

cozietoesie · 18/02/2017 00:25

The Roman crowds really enjoyed their circuses. Not much has changed it seems.

cozietoesie · 18/02/2017 00:28

It would be interesting if no press reps turned up to the next presser.
