Peter Alexander: I Was Just Pitching Trump A ‘Softball’ Question | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Good job Peter! You were extremely diplomatic!
When he doesn’t have an answer that’s what he does…he attacks, he projects, he blames, he denies, he deflects or he does his more inventive way of responding…he babbles incoherently! I expect that from a child but that’s the President. Welcome to our crisis!
He IS a child. Never grew up past about 5 or 6. That’s when his parents got sick of him and sent him to be dealt with by nannies and private schools. None of them ever cared enough to teach him how to think or be an adult. That’s a CHILD in a fat, ugly, stupid man’s body. Nothing more.
You people are so hostile
Anyday now the press briefing room will either be empty or break out into a fight!
Tillie Mae Kirk moron
D’ Essay wow
Wexit BC. AB. SK. Must be a fu**ed up bertan to support drumpf!! BTW, I think you should remove BC from your name! Who says we are joining you in Wexit???? We aren’t going anywhere…..Alberta and saskatchewan are on their own buddy!!
BOO WHO PETER KING.
I vote for empty. Times up covering this moronic POTUS. He doesn’t deserve the time and respect given the Press Corp. They should just put down their mics and let Trump tweet his version of the news. At least it’s easier to delete tweets.
Some of Trump’s Quotes:
“a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat”
“within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
“This is their new hoax”

“A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.”

@realDonaldTrump
The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

To sum it up:
“Our Country closed will be detrimental to my election success, get back to work ASAP.” ~Donald Trump
There have been 68,941 confirmed cases across the US so far. The true number of cases is likely to be significantly higher. The death toll currently is 741 and doubling every 3 days.
Get back to work ASAP.
@Kathy Franklund Obama would’ve been getting drunk, his advisors would be up half the night and people wouldn’t be trying to undermine him.
You guys need to use more than a quote. Fauci was playing down the virus early on. Trump was listening to what he was being given. He’s not an all seeing eye. Get your facts straight. His intentions and actions thus far have already made him the best President since JFK.
@Me Myself You missed a spot on Trump’s left testicle, and oh, you have a fleck of smegma on your chin…

So true. That was such a soft-ball question. Dumb trump squandered a huge opportunity to score big points towards re-election by being presidential. Instead, he was just being himself.
Being himself will re-elect him!!! So whaaaaa to all u snowflake babies
Because he’s an insecure small boy!
You meant Peter is the insecure small boy??
Like your father
And you eyne meshugene shvarze shikse mitn seykhl in di tokhes krepatzn bupkes !!!!! SHALOM GEYHN GEZINTERHAYT
T.J. Johnson your a loser democrat
DFirst StAr you’re* i hope trump helps our education system, cuz your comment was pathetic.
Coronavirus “It’s no big deal and won’t be a problem at all.” – Trump, 3-17-2020
@Ruth Haught like I said not one thought in your brain that wasn’t given to you by the Tea Party it’s all scapegoating blame everyone but the people responsible just like the national Socialist Workers Party
@John Swo I agree completely truth is Trump’s main enemy
@Ruth Haught fake YouTube account*
@Ruth Haught I think we just found the skank…….I mean skunk
David Broadbent I see CNN treats you like a mushroom keep you in the dark and feeding you a lot of crap
70% of Americans live pay check to pay check. They can’t afford to miss their car payment, rent or mortgage payment, insurance costs, utility bill, money for groceries, and other expenses. They need financial assurance. Right now they’re feeling very insecure and frustrated.
Stephen Urso you cant cut taxes for people that pay no tax
Fifer McGee The other option ain’t much better, buddy. 😂😭👀 Independent here.
@Mike Demirdjian did u really ask “how do you research”? Wow omgg we r in trouble as a country not cuz any president cuz our people are misinformed and dumb as rocks!
@Mike Demirdjian you know the other millions wake up and don’t troll youtube they work on their next business to start!
@Nathan Bailey I’m there too. Millions? You’re cute. I like you. You seem so innocent and clueless.
when you are a person lacking the quality of empathy, you have none to share.
What empathy has NBC shown? It seems like all they care about during this recession, and pandemic is politics. People around the world are dying and all they have time to do is criticize Trump for spreading hope?
@P4nikStudios when hope is lies? While your and my retirement investment’s value was plummeting, his fellow Republicans (post drained Swamp) were selling theirs, cashing in to prevent losses, using information provided during briefings that wasn’t being passed on to citizens by Trump.
everything he said was dripping with empathy yall have just become to hate filled to see it
@M MDemocrats were doing it too. Republicans were calling out their own offender, the one from North Carolina,
John C it was a gotcha question. Thats an objective fact, you pathological liar
This president couldn’t reassure an ant…
That’s because of the media’s spin. Trump was up there talking about this new drug and Peter’s reactions as to ask him “But there’s no magic drug right?” “Why do you always out a positive biased spin on things?” “What do you say to Americans who are scared?”
Biased leading question designed to instill fear in the American people
Meanwhile Democrat Governor Cuomo gave the same exact news conference, talking about the same exact drug, and the media goes “Oh Governor Cuomo is so great at reassuring people and giving them hope.”
Total bias and BS
Well, he obviously cant play ball!
Orange skidmark man child, nothing more.

“Stable genius” didn’t like the question
C’mon man! It’s sooper jeanyus now, don’t u know his unkle went to MIT???? Demokratz is Stoopid.
@humanze LOL.
I worked in a stable, after a while I became quite adept at it. 🤷♂️
I don’t know why they still bother going in there and asking them questions, and writing the answers down, and coming back out and telling us what they said… What’s the point?
Because leadership requires honesty and confidence, two traits which trump does not have
@Kevin 7 Rxxx Right, so why bother engaging him at all? He’s also one of the most profoundly ignorant people you’re likely to ever come across, so it really is just pointless.
Mad phyn ahahahaha!!! That is freaking hilarious.
Mad Phyn because he answers to the people of this nation…not the other way around
Because instead of being reporters they have made themselves the story.
I’m proud of you that was a valid question
Trump gave him an answer, but Peter was just looking for a weak spot in Trump and he wasn’t having it
Congratulations Peter!! I really wanted the answer to that important question. I was sadly disappointed. The president owes you an apology. Good job.
When you live in fantasy land it is hard to deal with real situations. In this area The President has issues.
No you weren’t. They way you framed the question was clear.
please tell, how did he frame the question? cuz even if he framed it badly, the president should still maintain some form of dignity in front of the press.
