during Democratic administrations where he always carried Repug water. Hmmm. A "teachable" moment there huh? To use a 2000s phrase that I hate, it's not hard to "trigger" the Beast.

He is such a nasty bully. It honestly amazes me that nobody has completely lost it with him yet, because every time I see him act that way I just want to rip his fat, orange head off.

He has told off half of the reporters.

President Trump is now lashing out at
@jonkarl
saying he is a "third rate" reporter. Trump angrily said to him, "You will never make it."

Note: Jon Karl is asking about a federal IG report that found hospitals across the country face dire shortages of vital medical equipment.

didn't want to answer so he attacked them and demanded they should praise his efforts and ask about things that made him look good. I'm glad reporters are starting to ask sharper questions and even tag team their questions.

Trump's such a lightweight blowhard, but these young women reporters won't let him bullshit them. They are smart and ready to challenge him, and Trump doest know how to handle them.

reporters.

He practically used to slobber praise to Bush and Cheney.

Trump really specializes in alienating even those who would be on his side. Jonathan Karl got him bent? Fucking really?

Exactly. He knows cult hates the media. So, he plays this act of attacking the media, because he knows the sheep eat that up. The irony is he uses the same media that his cult supposedly hates to attack the media.

What it amounts to is he's fighting a losing battle in regards to the response to the virus and he's now going to take it out on the media, because he knows the cult hates the media as much as he lets on. I noticed that with Saturday's presser as well. Plus, with the economy essentially shut down, he's probably in over his head with his businesses and such and he can't get the economy opened as soon as he'd like to. He's in total meltdown mode now.
