This should happen every single time Trump holds a press conference



Journalist @svdate asks the only question you need to ask Donald Trump.


Do you regret all of the lies? LOL. When a liar gets asked that question it is always funny to see what bluster they can come up with. Trump could not even manage that. Lying liar needs to be called out for the lies every single time he tires to hold a rally using the press core cause he can't hold his Nuremberg rallies during a pandemic.

He should be knighted, except American citizens can’t be knighted.

2. MSNBC and CNN need to stop covering these,

He usually cuts off the tough questions and sometimes only calls on far right reporters who have pre-planned questions to ask.
This is a repeat of 2016 when the MSM showed his rallies 24/7, these virus reports are nothing more than propaganda lie fests.
Even after the virus rally is over the networks talk about what Trump said. Even if they condemn what he said they are still allowing him to control the narrative.

Yes or no...can’t bluster his way through that supposedly easy answer, so move on like he never heard you.

It's the Spartacus phenomenon, where the second person to speak out is the one who really opens the floodgates. Maybe next time....

10. I was thinking about Fauci getting fired because of the resemblance.

Trump is emotional and not mature enough to handle confrontation. Fauci has been walking a tightrope for weeks, hasn't always been present at Covid pressers, and Trump constantly looks for scapegoats.

Plus, today is Friday. They attempt to bury big news stories when folks are gearing up for the weekend.

13. From what I understand, Trump can't fire Fauci which is why he is still there

But I think they were hoping he would resign by Trump making things uncomfortable for him.

11. Without a doubt, he'd turn on his elevated heels and leave.

But once he figures out this will keep on happening, he will just stop trying to get his oxygen (attention) from these mock rallies. That’s okay because it is just one more method of speaking to his base. Cutting that off would make many of us very happy.

16. Twitler Had That Deer In The Headlights Look

It sure caught him off guard but like the lying coward he is he never answered that question.

If we prevail in all three branches we need to hold Twitler and all his enablers totally accountable for the crimes and incompetence we have all endured.

There is something wrong in the head of anyone supporting this awful human.

I hate that Orange Creep with the heat of a thousand Suns.

Vote this evil criminal con man out so we can prosecute the Hell out of him.
