something like...
Why do you think you're so hated by the press? Why do you think the markets are going down and almost 2 dozen states have declared Shelter in Place? Why do you think the number of cases in the US are climbing exponentially??
It's because you're a FUCKING MORON! You're SO worried about your precious stock market numbers when those WON'T MATTER when TENS of MILLIONS of Americans are hospitalized and 5-10% of them DIE!
This isn't about YOU, you narcissistic piece of shit! This is about AMERICA!
WAKE UP OR RESIGN NOW!

(2,467 posts)At Trump's next "substitute Hillbilly Hate Rally" briefing, some reporter asks him: "After being apprised of the danger way back in January, you did nothing for the next 10 weeks except lie, saying its fake, saying it's just a Democratic hoax. There are still people today who believe that, to their detriment. That may well prove to be the most irresponsible act of an elected official ever witnessed in anyone's lifetime. Are you ready now to apologize to the American people for your malfeasance, step aside from these briefings, and allow knowledgeable adults do the talking instead of making everyone listen to your childish, attention-seeking blather of misinformation?"
And then, after Trump insults the reporter in a rage and refuses to answer, the next reporter asks him the *exact same question.* And so on, and so on, until Captain Queeg breaks down in an apoplectic fit of spittle-spewing profanity, and has to be dragged away from the podium.

(21,063 posts)I dont have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. Its a depression. Everybodys out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickels worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and theres nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and theres no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if thats the way its supposed to be.

Meanwhile, every single DAY that idiot in chief throws cheap insults at the press, can even answer a simple question without bringing out a litany of complaints in that whiny spoiled brat voice. And went ballistic on that reporter who threw him a softball question.
If you want respect, show respect. When are the WH correspondents going to revolt?

I mean you cannot keep calling questioners terrible reporters because they call you on your incessant lying.
