Trump Abruptly Ends News Briefing After Clash With Reporters | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Maybe that’s a question he should ask a psychologist.
This isn’t even a joke anymore… am I living in a dreamworld? How is this reality?
@uubuuh
The problem is America is not solving anything, it just keeps making the same stupid errors again and again, voting for liars and thieves that work only in the interests of corporate America, their big money donors.
Reagan began the rot.
The Bushes and Clinton continued it.
Obama bailed Wall St after it crashed the economy in 2008. No-one went to jail and nine million Americans lost their homes.
In 2016 desperate Americans elected the cowardly halfwit Trump and by 2020 yet another corporate bailout, only this time Americans are losing their jobs and their lives.
It’s been a slow and steady decline and I see the DoJ has now joined the other two branches of government down in the sewer.
The USA is effectively a failed state. You have no options left. Bernie Sanders offered a way out and Americans allowed their politicians and their media to smear and sabotage him. Now you’re left at the very bottom of the barrel with Trump or Biden.
America is finished.
@Kaiser24 “2.) Howare those real questions?They are rhetoric questions if anything? Mr. President, why are you comparing the U.S. to other countries when the U.S. has always compared itself to other countries? Mr. President, people are dying in the U.S., yet you are looking at how other countries are handling COVID-19. What good does that do? Do you understand? These are questions, in which using logic or talking to a neighbor, a friend, or even a conservative political commentator EASILY know the answer to because it’s so obvious that it doesn’t need to be asked since the question and its background itself contains so many hints as to how to answer the question yourself.”
“Mr. President, why are you comparing the U.S. to other countries when the U.S. has always compared itself to other countries?”
Not a question that was asked, or you took the real one completely out of context.
“Mr. President, people are dying in the U.S., yet you are looking at how other countries are handling COVID-19.”
closer.
the question can be summarized as “Why are you so concerned with comparing the US’s response to other when people are dying in the US?”
If it was such an easy question, then why couldnt trump answer it?
trump didnt even deny that he was more concerned with blaming china.
” question is repeated when a person doesn’t get the response they want to hear. Reporter: Are you aware that millions of people are infected with COVID-19 in the United States?
President: Our staff is working hard and have done a great job n trying to find a treatment, a vaccine, reccommend precaution measures, and trying to offer as much help as necessary.
Reporter: idc about the good things they have done. Are you aware that people are infected and dying from COVID-19?”
Lol, even your own example the presient didnt answer the question. where in “Our staff is working hard and have done a great job n trying to find a treatment, a vaccine, reccommend precaution measures, and trying to offer as much help as necessary.”
does he say “yes i am aware”?
nowhere.
“4.) Those independent sources better be from people in the white house or that work close to him. Pelosi won’t cut it. Also, can a man not have 5 hours of break to himself a day?”
every source is in fact where you described.
“5.) And this is where you fail. Americans are dying and Trump can’t bring them back to life, nor can he make the virus disapear, please stop seeing Trump as an undeserving God. Trump isn’t a God, he is a human. ”
acutally, no, this is where you fail. no one is expecting trump to completely fix everything. we just want him to FOLLOW THE MEDICAL ADVICE. Trump was literally given a step by step guide on how to deal with the pandemic. he ignored it. Lo and behold, he was criticized for not doing the things that the guide said.
Even fauci admits that trump didnt listen to him, instead pushing to reopen the economy months before it was ready. i will answer your post about china in the next comment.
@Thats not funny ASK CHINA why is biden still there LMASSSSSOFFFFFF
@Kaiser24 “A virus from China, which hasn’t been told to the U.S. for a month”
the existence of the virus was known as long as it was there
“The U.S. and many other countries are struggling a bit, yet out of nowhere China reports 0 covid-19 related death”
https://apnews.com/c0e87e089a89fa5579e1c63acded7d46
the US didnt have a SINGLE CASE at the time China announced the first death.
“The U.S. is curious as to what China is hiding or perhaps doing, yet they are unwilling to tell the U.S. ”
that was the “MSM” reporting on that. during that time period, trump was praising china for their transparency.
“Now he have countries, such as the U.S, France, italy, Canada, and South Korea, who are infected with Covid-19. 3 months have passed Is the U.S doing good progress? Geez, who should the U.S. compare itself to to make sure it isn’t falling behind? OH OH OH ,the U.S. shoudl compare itself with the U.S….NOOOO THAT IS STUPID. The U.S. should compare itself to other countries to make sure it is in good pace and it is doing its necesarry best to help the American people.”
ah, and you miss the point. The issue isnt that trump is comparing the respective responses. (in fact, that would be completely hypocritical bs as that is all liberals would talk about is how the US was behind in testing at the start)
The issue is that trump is focusing on comparing with other countries (using false statistics and lies, no less), INSTEAD of addressing problems in the US. the issue is not that trump has done exactly nothing (he has done some) to combat the virus, its that he could be doing a whole lot more. as well as doing the comparisons to deflect from those apparently “easy” questions.
No one is saying that china didnt do anything wrong. the issue is when trump blames them during questions about what could be better about his response.
@Rory Cannon The Don not politician. Politician ask Smart question! Public given stupid answer! Don ask smart question, the press given stupid answer! That how it work. Eat your wuhan wanton noodle, and go to sleep…..no remark out of you…..lololol!!!!!!
He’s truly the Joseph McCarthy of our times.
Amen. Not enough are recognized it. I’ll bet that Biden will pick up on that.
Joseph McCarthy read books.
Joseph McCarthy was a veteran, unlike this sniveling bully.
In 1/3 of 6 degrees Trump’s 1st lawyer was Roy Cohn who was an aide to Joseph McCarthy. He basically grew up to be the political grandson of Joseph McCarthy.
Hahahaha what a loser ran like a cry baby he calls himself a genius what a dope
jo me Stfu Johnny Whiplash
You can’t become president being dope
Tomas Retamal Wym Become One He Already Is One
I believe even the Russians are embarrassed.
@Bill C we’ll see. where is biden anyway??? lock him up? lol the man is UNTOUCHABLE.
@abcd 1235 ikr sorta like disinfectant donnie. Though he won’t have anywhere to run after he is out of the house 2020
the German is so embarrassing as well
Wow you people on the left still believe the fake russian news. China is the reason people are dieing and China censoring information. You people on the left are ridiculous.
Go and kiss china
She started to let it go but she caught that feeling we all get sometimes like ” who tf this mf think he taking too ” …😁
@Xoreign Why did China, the origin country with one of the highest infection rates, end their lockdown after only sixteen days, outside of the city of Wuhan? How are their cases in decline if this is true? Their population density is one of the HIGHEST and they were the FIRST, and that’s without even taking into account the rumor that China under-reported their cases.
Face it, the media lied to you, and our ‘health’ agencies, international and domestic, have been completely compromised. They’re using fear to keep you from investigating their crimes so they can keep their society-wide, child trafficking scam going. They give you the illusion of choice, that you can pick what source, what channel, but it really all comes from the same diseased pool. They took a garden-variety flu and framed it as a world-ender.
You’re just unwilling to admit what that means, because you’re scared it would absolutely shatter your precious little worldview. Buckle up cupcake. Best take that redpill now, before it becomes a suppository.
Masks are the new tinfoil hat.
@Syphaxis What an impressive display of evidence. You’ve sold me kid.
@Xoreign “It’s not evidence if I don’t agree with it!” Top paragraph is commonly accepted knowledge. Often goes unstated, but completely undisputed.
The rest is widely available if you’re willing to look, and maybe read the world around you like you have SOME degree of street smarts, rather than just accepting everything at face value like your TV demands you to interpret it. Expecting it to be laid out for you in a comment section is almost a fallacy.
What would you say if I posted this for example? qmap.pub
Read the whole thing and tell me there’s nothing to it. Every post, every proof, every description. Deny I gave you evidence without doing so. Prove your unwillingness to do even the most basic legwork and counter-research. It’s all there for you, easy as it’s ever been and ever will be.
Boost Junkie why blame China?
@Syphaxis I am familiar with these conspiracy theories. You criticize me for “accepting everything” while you ignore the vast majority of doctors because of confirmation bias. Alright man. I side with science and facts. I side with repeated studies. Not single cherrypicked examples that arent widely accepted for a reason.
I’m assuming you don’t believe in the moon landing either. Flat earther too?
Just a guess.
tRump’s new reality show, Donnie Boo-Hoo.
I just came out of coma. I thought this was a SNL skit.
MSNBC sucks.
@mountain mann having a senile old fool for PRESIDENT who acts like a baby SUCKS WORSE
@mountain mann hah go shake some hands and then touch your face
Won’t be long before only OAN and FOX are the only outlets allowed in pressers.
Hopefully since all these outlets becoming “keeping up with the kardashian”
“Trump Abruptly Ends News Briefing”
Now if he could just do the same with the current “administration”
No,he needs,a wobbly chair,6 foot of stout rope,or razor wire,and a heavy i beam.
You go and kiss china 😂
If Trump can’t think of a lie, he has no idea how to answer a question.
💯
Go and kiss china
They should have all laughed as he was leaving.
@minnie bartos Same lol that was amazing. One for the history books for sure
Yeah… just like I laughed all night long when president Trump won last time 😂🤣😭🤣
@minnie bartos What heat?
They need to applauded that hes leaving
No, that would make them look very unprofessional and bring them down to Trump’s level.
Trump is somewhere gorging on cheeseburgers watching your segment in tears. 😂😂😂
Melt down and lose his bearings?
He can’t lose something he’s never had.
Good one. lol
Brilliant
“Don’t ask me, ask China. They’re the real scapegoat here!”
They cut her mike off, and right when the other reporter was coming up, she knew it’s turned back on and she went for it. Beautifully played.
Demarco. U r right on. Why doesn’t media point that out if they are so crooked. Coward and stupid is a bad mx.
They didnot cut the mike off listen to it again trump
You americas are in a nutshell 😝😝
You didn’t pick me to play so I’m taking my ball and going home, Bye
🤣😂🤣😂 EXCATLY!!!!!!
It’s like a celebrity roast that just won’t end.
But not a fun or funny one. It’s just sad, he’s destroying the US faster as he could do intentionally.
Marcus Xperia
Lol wtf….HES destroying the US? I missed that completley. Why was he never impeached if he was in the wrong or why did the FBI CIA reports not find anything on him that showed he colluded with Russia?
Pretty sure its your guy’s media that is out of line. How is this racist. Buncha moron americans
The only thing missing is Foster Brooks (Jeanine Pirro), Slappy White (Ben Carson) and Charo (Melania).
He puts the “con” into “content.”
Sukh Sidhu underrated comment
CORONAVIRUS, DO YOUR JOB and SAVE US ALL! The Mad King is seriously mentally ill, and still the GOP supports him. C-C-C-CRAZY and DANGEROUS!
