Donald Trump Tells NBC's Katy Tur to "Be Quiet"

[spanone]

Donald Trump held a patently absurd press conference this morning, in which he offered that foreign governments should hack Hillary Clinton, asked reporters if they’re familiar with the “n-word,” and referred to John Hinckley—the man who tried to kill Ronald Reagan—as “David.”

As a result, the room seemed tense. Attendant reporters pressed Trump on his casual assertions, and Trump tried to freestyle his way out of trouble. At one point, NBC’s Katy Tur drilled Trump on whether it was appropriate for him to ask—even as a joke—that Russia or China to search for the emails Clinton deleted from her private server. In the midst of a back-and-forth, Trump says to Tur: “Be quiet—I know you wanna, you know, save her.”

The way to annoy Trump is to poke at his self-created unflappability. A reporter returning to a tossed-off comment to ask him what he really meant is one way of doing that. When the reporter is a woman, Trump feels emasculated, and lashes out. If he manages to win this election, his press conferences from the White House should be, uh, something.

1. Katy Tur's damn good, so of course he feels threatened by her.

Cannot handle being questioned by a good reporter especially if she's a woman

[spanone]

4. saying she wants to 'save' Hillary shows just how scared and threatened he is of women.

ms. tur has been fair in her reporting imho

[oberliner]

10. She is not a good reporter

She was the half-his-age girlfriend of Keith Olbermann, and then magically ended up jumping from The Weather Channel to prime time MSNBC news coverage.

Her reporting is generally mediocre to poor.

11. Been following her coverage of Trump campaign, IMHO has good insights. To each his own though.

[Enoki33]

17. Her personal life is her business alone. Don't know

what your journalistic standards are, and you are entitled to you opinion. The totality of her professional work speaks for itself. She is a very good reporter IMHO.

[Wounded Bear]

22. I've been enjoying her campaign coverage...

If she's young and new, maybe she has some things to learn. IMHO that doesn't mean she isn't a good reporter.

I'm looking forward to her getting more face time.

2. He sure loves to tell women to shut up

He must be a real peach to live with.

Of course, other boorish men lap this shit up like it's their first taste of beer.

5. Do you think the billioanires (He and Melania) really see much of each other? I doubt it. nt

3. His first act as President will be to silence anyone who disagrees with him.

Of course he won't be a dictator or anything (sarcasm).

6. Ms. Tur's analysis of Trump's presser

She said he can't stand not being in the press, what with all attention being on the DNC, so he held that conference and made any number of outlandish, ill-conceived remarks hoping one or more would land him back in the news.

7. K&R!

8. Here's a clue: What if Donald called a press conference and nobody showed up?

Give him the "respect" he deserves -- none.

9. Boy wouldn't that be great.

Unfortunately he's like OJ's Bronco. The media can't stop following it.

19. Just waiting for it to crash and burn

[REALforever]

12. No news agency has the cohounes to do that..Sad that that's the only way to muzzle him

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. All the media should make a pool and send one and only one reporter to his press conferences. . nt

[Grins]

13. Been saying it for quite a while.....Yes!

"The way to annoy Trump is to poke at his self-created unflappability." Esp. by a woman.

Question his genitals 'fer Chriss sake and he makes an enormous ass of himself. Ridicule his executive 'leadership' from "Celebrity Apprentice", and he's reduced to "unmovable rage." Question his fortune? Look out!

Belittle his womanizing, his compulsive need for constant self-reassurance, his business failures, his compulsion to grossly amplify his wealth, his incessant boastfulness about his 'awesome power" to always have his way, that he doesn't know many words, and he'll pop. Hell; he'll explode.

[NBachers]

15. He confused John Hinckley for David Berkowitz

[spanone]

16. he kept referring to 'david hinckley'....he's lazy and really doesn't give a shit

he's bullied and bullshitted his way through life

[Angry Dragon]

18. Republicans hate women ............. Trump is just fitting into mold of a republican

[Glimmer of Hope]

20. On NBC just now. He is such a thin skinned asshole.

[roamer65]

21. Fuck Trump.

What a Putin loving piece of shit.
