Mr. President, why do you surround yourself with criminals?

Mr. President, do you plan to pardon the criminals you decided to surround yourself with?

Mr. President, do you plan to pardon criminals who may hold evidence that you committed crimes?

Mr. President, why do you appoint corrupt and extremely unqualified people to the highest levels of our government?

Mr. President, you once stated Russia did not attack us because Putin told you they did not attack us. Are you a traitor?

Mr. President, why do you constantly lie and mislead the American people about the Russia investigation? Are you guilty?

Mr. President, how many affairs have you been involved in and how many women have you paid off to remain silent?

Mr. President, how many children did you kidnap on the southern border? Where are they now?

Mr. President, why do you put Americas national security at risk by meeting and talking secretly with our enemies.

The news media has done a very good job investigating Trump. They have done a horrible job when questioning Trump. They should be ruthless and relentless when questioning Trump. For the most part they have been weak.

The news media will ask Trump, do you plan to pardon Manafort. That is a weak question. They should ask that question this way. Manafort is a criminal who may hold evidence that you may have committed crimes. Will you pardon him to protect yourself.

The news media knows he is a criminal and that's the way they should be questioning him.

He's a mob boss. And a traitor. And he's president. Amazing. And terrifying.

To top it off, he has favorable ratings with over 80% of Republicans.

He will puff himself up, jut out his jaw and give a withering reply, calling the person out as stupid or low IQ. He will insult them on camera and demonstrate to all the others that they will get the same treatment if they dare to do the same thing. Typical bullying tactics.

The journalist with access to the press conferences have not decided to collectively back one another by tenaciously sticking with a question one after another until he answers it. They know he is a stubborn, willful f**k who will dodge and weave and avoid giving a straight answer. And they will be targeted by him relentlessly. Ultimately, he can abruptly call the whole thing off and turn on his heel and leave. So they know it is a fine line before he decides he has had enough & stomps off stage.

In our fondest wish, we’d like to see him crumble in the face of a press that will not let him off from answering questions honestly. However, he is a professional grade liar and narcissist. He is a card carrying member of Narcissist United, so he feels entitled to control the narrative and the situation. Only the long arm of the law will finally catch up to him, but even then I don’t think it will shut him up. He will be using the same old tactics even as he is led away in prison orange and leg irons.

Oh wait....you’re referring to the asshat currently and illegally occupying the WH. The last time I addressed someone as Mr. President was the morning of Jan. 20, 2017.
