That seems like nonsense.
Crickets. Nope Nobody Asks that Question.

(30,939 posts)I'm fairly sure they have thought about this obvious question.
Scared? That too is obvious, and no blame. I'm sure I would fail as a field journalist at the White House, so respect to most of them. The rest need to find a better job.

(15,199 posts)Either that, or lack of journalistic integrity (or spine) among reporters allowed to ask him questions.
We've seen his insults and verbal assaults hurled at reporters who have the gall to ask questions he doesn't like.

(55,809 posts)They punish. They move them to the back, they don't call on them; or they don't even let them in the room, or they just plain banish them from the White House beat entirely.
Imagine a baseball team that had the power to send officials back to the minors and routinely used that power whenever they pleased. A lot of calls start going their way....

(15,199 posts)The Felon does not see himself as a public servant; everyone else is below him, and he expects them to serve him.
Lie, cheat, steal, bully, punish, abuse, not caring about anyone but himself.
That ANYONE would vote for this cruel sociopath will forever be a stain on the American people.

(45,872 posts)They asked what they meant. Did they think Epstein wasn't a pedophile running a pedophile operation? That the victims were all lying? That the Epstein files didn't exist, despite Bondi saying she had received the "Epstein files" from the FBI back in February? That the files were not going to show anything, in which case why did the Democrats fight so hard to get them released and, up until the moment that they knew they had lost, the Repubs fought just as hard to prevent their release.
Never saw a response from the original poster. Probably hiding in his mom's basement hugging his Trump doll and dropping tears on his Mike Johnson poster.

(25,416 posts)Apparently, F47 uses "hoax" as a dog whistle indicating that only F47 and closely allied media can be viewed as trustworthy sources on a given topic, while every other source is "fake news" and not to be viewed, let alone trusted, by the vanguard faithful. But we'll never have a media outlet push back on that, cos they'd lose their WH press pool spots immediately.
At some point this will need to change, one way or another.

(503 posts)He will say something like, "I don't know; you'll have to ask them. It's probably because they are very stupid people and traitors to our country. They thought it would hurt Republicans; but they're very stupid people. They hate me and America so much they came up with this Epstein, Epstein, Epstein hoax that only exposed their own people. Sad. But it's because they are very stupid people that hate our country. They should all be in jail, and they probably will be. We are looking into that. Next question...."

(13,707 posts)but Trump seems to forget that he, himself, was a registered Democrat between 2001 and 2009, up to the point in time that Epstein was first convicted for sex crimes.
