They need to stop having Trump at the CV press events.

[coti]

He just gets in the way with his self-absorbed, asinine antics. How about we stop bringing the 3-year-old to the meeting where the adults are trying to talk?

[Leghorn21]

1. Well, the thing is, there is no "they", coti. There's just "him" and his roving pack of spineless

LOSERS, so - naw, he’ll be doing these gaslighting pressers (“gassers”) every day for the rest of our lives

[brewens]

5. Donald Trump's Sychophant Circus! Performances daily! n/t

[magicarpet]

11. Did you see trDump call on reporter Sean Spicer of NewMax,.... TV...

..... like he had no idea who he was or ever even knew him.

Sean Spicer at his new job,...

[brewens]

12. Yup. Then wasn't it yesterday he had the OAN girl there? Ridiculous. n/t

[magicarpet]

16. Yes today too,..

trDump called on the OAN woman at the CV-19 news briefing.

trDump said,

"OAN, yes OAN, such a nice media outfit, they always treat me so well."

(It is a Fascist news outlet,... no wonder trDump likes them.)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. The only way they could cut him out is by holding the press events

without warning at a secure undisclosed location. Unfortunately Mike Dense, Brownnoser-In-Chief, runs that committee and there's no way in Hell (which is where we seem to be now) that he would keep his lord and master out of the loop. Anybody who would talk to the media without His Lardship's permission would be sacked and probably sent to Gitmo.

15. The only one who looks at me like Pence looks at Trump is my dog.

He may just want dinner. Pence just wants to stay on the ticket. He has made sucking up into an artform.

[Talitha]

18. SO glad I didn't have a mouthful of anything when I read this!

Yep, he looks like the dog on the old RCA Victor logo
listening to "His Master's Voice".

[maddiemom]

31. Trump gave him the only possible ticket in his wildest imagination to being POTUS.

[Jim__]

3. We need to have 2 events.

Trump will never agree to not appear on camera. We need one, maybe with a Potemkin press core, cameras, flashing lights, cheering crowds, where Trump can appear in all his glory. And then another, real press event where the adults can talk.

[brewens]

13. I'd like to see all the real reporters stand when he comes in and applaud enthusiastically

and refuse to stop. Keep going and see if Trump shuts it down or has them physically removed.

[leftieNanner]

33. I would prefer it if they just didn't show up at all

Have him walk into a nearly empty press room and take questions from OAN and Breitbart. Don't televise it. Quit feeding his bottomless pit of a ...... I don't know what to call it. It's certainly not a soul. He doesn't have one of those.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Seems so familiar

(someone somewhere put Trump's head on that kid... couldn't find it tho)

[TeamPooka]

6. Donny loves the camera and being in the spotlight.

Regardless of how bad it makes them look. He believes there’s no such thing as bad Publicity

[IcyPeas]

7. he is getting his jollies

he can't hold rallies any more so he gets off on these press conferences. he LOVES all the attention and reporters yelling Mr. President, Mr. President. He Loves it.

I don't want to hear how to stop a pandemic from a politician. Let's only hear from the medical people.

I noticed today, even when he is not at the podium, he is the one who points at which reporter can ask a question.

He's the emcee. We don't need trump and pence both there. get rid of trump. pence can be the emcee.

[underpants]

10. I noticed him calling the reporters too. He HAS to violate social distancing to stay on camera

As I posted a few days ago

[RockRaven]

8. The media needs to stop showing up. Send 1 AP reporter with a tape recorder or video camera

to anything Trump is present at, and distribute the transcript. News outlets then decide if anything in the transcript is worth reporting.

[Caliman73]

14. I have been saying this for a little while.

There is no value in attending the pressers. Trump is using them as a replacement for his rallies that he can't have. He needs to keep himself in the news and try to spin to his advantage.

I have said that the press should send one reporter to ask difficult questions that people need to know. If Trump dodges the question there are no other people to jump to. He can cut the presser short and not get enough airtime, or he has to answer the questions.

[procon]

9. What "they" are you referring to?

These are Trump's staged presses. Trump invites the expert talking props to make himself look smarter than he is. He controls everything that happens in that room.

He thinks he's doing a great job. He thinks he's an expert on everything; he really believes that. There really is no "they". His handpicked team are self serving ass kissers first and foremost and will not say anything that will threatened their income.

[LuckyLib]

21. The "self-serving ass kissers" are his bobbleheads on stage.

It's disgusting.

[rockfordfile]

17. no it shows the country what a pos he is

[Wounded Bear]

19. Why? It's working. His approval numbers are rising...

and after all, isn't that the most important thing?

[leftieNanner]

34. Maybe

But every time he speaks, the Dow goes down another 1,000 points!

[yaesu]

20. he's just there to play the war president. nt

[cry baby]

22. He won't give up his daily 1 1/2 hr campaign commercial.

No one could keep him from the camera.

[degage]

23. He's an addict, he needs the attention now that he can't have hate rallies.

Trump has to be the center of attention. He needs the adoration and attention as bad as any addict needs their fix.

No way he's going to stop being there. He gets his daily dose of "me, me, me."

I think he's turning off every independent voter in the nation though. I hope so. I don't think he'll lose much of his cult with his lies and behavior. They are a cult after all.

[djacq]

24. NBC Nightly News just showed the clip!!!

Thank You Peter Alexander.

That clip is going to be shown repeatedly all this weekend.

[livetohike]

27. It would make a good political ad too. n/t

[iluvtennis]

25. He had made Prence the leader of Covid19 task force and Pence gave daily presentations. Trump

got jealous of Pence's coverage and took over.

In my opinion, neither he or pence should be gthe face of the rtask force, it should be Dr Fauci or another doctor or scientist.

[SWBTATTReg]

26. That's why, hopefully why Biden is going to have these events, which will be loaded/

with actual facts, truth, and critical information we all need to have. His wife is a MD, I think too.

[Hekate]

28. ROFLMAO. How, pray tell, is anyone going to STOP him?

[doc03]

29. More likely he will make it solo act nt

[Thomas Hurt]

30. Trump getting camera time and being praised unrelentingly is the whole point of them.

[Nitram]

32. I'm sure Trump insists on attending to monitor and intimdate anyone who departs from the party line.
