“You can pick a reporter ― a Baltic reporter, ideally.”


WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued his attacks on the media by implying that U.S. journalists are “fake news” during a joint press conference with leaders from the Baltic countries.

“Pick a reporter, please. You can pick a reporter ― a Baltic reporter, ideally,” he told Latvian President Raimonds Vejonis, while taking questions from journalists. “Real news, not fake news.”
..................

Trump called on only one American reporter, Steve Holland of Reuters, at the beginning of Tuesday’s news conference.

............
At other joint news conferences with foreign leaders, where each leader will typically select two reporters for questions, Trump has often called on reporters from right-wing outlets.

I see nothing funny about a US President making a fool of himself!

"His remarks generated laughter from the audience."

Reporter: How are you going to deal with President Putin? Is he your enemy or someone you can have dialogue with?
@POTUS: I think we’ll be able to have great dialogue, I hope...Nobody has been tougher on Russia then I have. I know you're nodding 'yes' because everyone agrees.

4. Care to guess who will be reporting the REAL NEWS when Trump's been Impeached?

Not Fox News:: "It was rigged by Deep State!"

[Mr. Ected]

5. It's crushingly embarrassing that these foreign leaders have to join in on the charade

Only after we're able to excise this cancerous growth from the Body America will everyone FINALLY be able to speak the truth about the man and his devastating effects on our national dignity and standing in the world.

I remember how Republicans denigrated Clinton and Obama, saying they were embarrassments to the USA in the world theater. In truth, that was NEVER the case.

Now, on the other hand. Oh hell. What can I say that hasn't already been said a million times.

11. Why is the press letting him do this?

The CBS tweet itself says "jokes". It is not funny.

[riversedge]

15. Perhaps when trump starts cyberbullying cbs on a regular basis, they will

change their tune. ?? nah!!

[Maxheader]

16. Whats the little handjob

[kacekwl]

17. President dumbass sticks it up these reporters butts and

the spineless tools stand there and laugh at his stupid shit. Sad indeed.

[Mr. Ected]

18. I guess "having access" is more important to the press than maintaining their dignity

How do they look themselves in the mirror every day?

[Honeycombe8]

19. No, that's not a joke. Later he'll say "Oh I was just joking." But he wasn't. nt

[crowman2016]

20. I doubt that the presidents of these Baltic countries would listen to Putin's puppet.

Just sayin'!
