Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[ilikecheese]

Words fail me. I genuinely feel sorry for our American friends, regardless of every individual's political leanings.

Having an incompetent narcissistic toddler in charge was always gonna end in tears.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

he is never, ever going to leave office voluntarily if he loses in November

I bet at least 75% of the secret service will enjoy mishandling him into the street.

 

[PhilM]

He’s declared himself a dictator

With that video and where he's arguing with the female reporter, you can clearly see the cracks forming in his defences - it's cringe worthy.

Especially for the media; that’s the first time I can remember in four years someone has had a good go back at him - and as you say he got scared, if she hadn’t backed off at the end he would probably have melted down.

I thought this thread was about America's leade...ah sorry.

they’ll probably too busy protecting themselves against the mob he raised

Fair play to this reporter.

I didn't watch it live, but according to the BBC many of the US Networks cut away from the live feed when he and his cronies were playing their love-in montage.

It's probably far too much to actually hope that this could be the start of a shift-change in how he's treated bu the press and how his image comes across.

He's an egoistical bully who lives in fantasy land and for a long time he's got his own way, but you can see that he can't take criticism and starts to waffle rubbish.

Sadly, the journalist will probably now be banned from attending any other press conferences, so hopefully they don't get a lame duck to replace her.

As Cpl. Jones said...

And if course nobody said to him "that's what a dictator would say." to him.

“toddler or tyrant” would be a great title for an academic account of the Trumpian epoch

With that vocabulary? Toddler.

We have a two year old in our extended family at the moment and she speaks, stands, walks, comprehends and basically comports herself better than him.

This is the problem. Yeah, she did more than most have, but she still backed down at the end.

The serious journalists in that room need to relentlessly hold his feet to the fire.

It stresses me out that 3 years in there’s still no “agreement” between the reporters that if he doesn’t answer a tough question and moves on to another reporter (like he does in that clip) the next one asks the same question.

I understand WHY they don’t, but it’s still inexcusable at this point.

I’d pay a significant portion of my net worth to see him interviewed face to face by the likes of Andrew Neil, Jeremy Paxman or even Jake Tapper. (I’m sure there’s other good examples, but you get the idea).

Sadly you are right - I wonder if one of the pack had a word with her?

Neil would be as bad as Morgan is with him. Paxman would be good, Jon Stewart would be fantastic, at least if he did that Crossfire performance as well.
