I have to think that men just hear things differently. I've been accused of yelling when I am simply upset and haven't raised my voice at all.

I wish the reporter would immediately interrupt, "no, I don't know that, that's a lie!"

That's an old method that far too many men like Trump use to control women. He seems so surprised to discover women reporters can think, and then he is totally unprepared to answer her pointed questions. Trump immediately launched into his usual attempts to belittle the woman based on gender.

When that tactic failed to send her running for the exit in tears, then he threw out a series of distraction questions like counter measures to allow him to escape giving any answer.

Trump is a washed up has-been. Look at what he's reduced to talking about, besides his run of the mill daily smorgasbord of lies, he drags up some old minor policy changes from months ago, followed by the same old whines about the lack of exaltation by the press corps.

Trump has accomplished nothing of note for a couple of months. It will only keep getting worse as it becomes increasingly apparent that Trump is horribly inadequate for the crisis leadership we are facing.

Trump said that to a reporter he didn't like last week. As the reporter (a man in this case) kept going trying to get to his question, Trump just posed and answered a question of his own choosing.
