Reporters Mock White House During Comically Botched Teleconference: Cant Even Run a F*cking Conference CallApparently, conference calls are not the Trump White Houses forte.
According to CBS News, it took Trump administration officials 22 minutes to figure out how to enable the listen only feature during a press call on Trumps announcement that hed continue to waive sanctions related to the Iran nuclear deal. And reporters spent that portion of the call mocking the White House for not knowing how to mute them.
This White House cant even run a f*cking conference call, one reporter shouted during the call. They dont know how to mute their line.
One official on the call angrily shot back at the reporters, stating that the illegitimate media doesnt know how to conduct themselves, demanding that they mute their phones. Another official said that if the reporters had half a brain and used mute, this wouldnt be a problem.
This is Kim Jong-Un calling for Donald Trump, one reporter joked later on as the call got out of hand.
Eventually, media participants in the call received a message saying that they were in listen-only mode. At the end of the call, a State Department official declared that they were unable to take questions from the press due to the technical issues.
