So Presidential

I thought some of the talk of him "losing it" was overblown. Now it really looks like he is about to blow.

What you saw there was FEAR. Trump is scared and his "cornered rat" instincts are coming out. How dare a woman, and a Black woman to boot, ask him about his strong desire, which he knows deep deep down, is exactly what he wants Whitaker to do. Obviously Trump cannot answer that question truthfully so he reverts to name calling.

1) If possible, bullsh*t through the answer. This requires some of the facts to be in his favor, so he can cherry-pick.
2) If BS-ing through is not possible, BS around. This requires brining up tangential but irrelevant facts, usually red herrings or what-aboutism. This requires knowing something of the context of the question.
3) If you can't even BS around because the terrain is so poor or you've run out of tangents to try, just insult the questioner.
