CNN Jeremy Diamond - goes after Trump. Trump "you aren't using the brains you were born with"

Diamond - 22 Million unemployed and 40,000 people dead. Why are you reading clips praising yourself?

Trump - I'm defending the doctors and nurses tens of thousands of people. You are fake news

Diamond - the clips were not about them. They were only about you and your administration

Trump - you aren't using he brains you are born with.


Trump took credit for it only being 40,000.
They went back and forth more.

Fuck that shit. He's the damn anti-christ. I'm done giving him sympathetic excuses for his behavior. He's plain evil.

Trump - "No, you and the Obama administration were duped.

You people at CNN so pathetic

Earlier he went off on the prosecutions of Manafort and Flynn. "The FBI said Flynn didn't lie" he called those who prosecuted Flynn and Manafort "human scum". Wouldn't announce what he would do concerning Flynn and Manafort.

There is no record anywhere of anyone at the FBI telling anyone that Flynn didn't lie.

I am waiting for him to pardon Flynn. And Stone. I notice he hasn't intervened in Manafort's incarceration. Odd, that.

We said he'd do something but wouldn't say what it is and that he'd tell the press about it later.

I can't stand to watch his pressers live, but sometimes when I hear about a particular exchange with some reporter, I'll check out the recorded video on C-Span and forward through it to the Q&A portion.

The perfect way to deal with prevaricating liars is to cut through all the arguments meant to deflect from answering the question is to press the original question again and again. Not allowing anything to deflect from demanding an answer.

Exactly. What is he talking about? Trump was born defective in every way. He is all id and ego. There are no higher functions going on there. The man is a worthless POS.

is that the number of reporters is considerably smaller, and Chump has no excuse for not calling on each and every one of them. In fact, keeping himself on TV during prime time, he's called on many of them several times.

In the "old days" (a few months ago), reporters were packed in, many standing along the wall, and Chump was able to pick and choose those he needed ass kisses from, ignoring those we really wanted to hear from.

Also wish MSM would stop giving a few hundred Right Wing nuts protesting their god damned "rights" any air time. ENOUGH! What do they want, more ratings and $$$ while instigating another Heather Heyer incident?!?!?!?!?!

how any of those reporters deal with it so calmly. I would end up banned from the WH until the next administration, but I'd tell that worthless sack of flesh off "the likes of which he's never seen!"

I'd like to see the media record the briefings and then show us the public the portions of the briefings where the scientists and doctors are speaking. All of the rest of it should not be be televised.
