MODERATORS
Oh yes!
“I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?”
This fucking guy
"another number"
Ooh! I think we just found another way to poke the dumbass!
“Don’t ever say what you said,” Trump told the reporter, calling it “the nastiest question.”
One fucking journalist should have the spine to respond to the "naaasty question" rants this idiot keeps going off on. It's called scrutiny. If you don't want nasty questions, go home.
They're all so terrified of losing access
So what we won't be getting direct access to Trump's asshole of a mouth 24-7? Trump needs the spotlight more than we do. If the media networks actually collaborate to ensure journalistic standards, what's he going to do? Lose the coverage? Media need to do they fucking job or US democracy is done.
He’ll just have the clowns from Fox and OANN interview him. Basically state run media.
He couldn't last a blackout from major media for a day because his RATINGS would drop. It's Trump. Without TV he's nothing.
One thing he's at least consistent on, is calling things "nasty" when they get to him personally.
Nasty is the square hole of things he dislikes
‘Best day since Oct 2008’ is a great way to say that it recovered after a huge crash that left it lower than before but we want good optics.
