(17,984 posts)Sort of a mediator so it doesn't look like retribution. That's the smart way to play it.

(53,410 posts)It just came out of him with such ease, with the certainty that he was about to get the response he did.
If they werent aware of the reality that this was still NAFTA only with a different bow and a couple of additions which have been in the works for years before he took office then theyre the ones who dont think. Theyre Pavlovian themselves.

Journalists need to have responses like this at the ready. They know they will be insulted and they need to have this response ready to go.

(63,919 posts)and with all this publicity and having him on audio and saying it, I wonder if she could press charges, I fucking would.

(17,455 posts)He slandered her. That is not an exaggeration, she was slandered.
There are several problems here.
First, he intimidates. He ALWAYS cuts-off questions before hearing the question in its entirety.
Second, most journalists are normal and respectful people, and they are treating this orange slime ball like he is too. Well, he is not, and he deserves no respect.
Third, it seems that several journalists are afraid of being denied press access if they give him some of his own medicine. The only way to fight this is for the journalistic community to refuse to take it anymore and to walk out when he gives them shit. Walk out together. I don't think Donny boy will like it too much when no one is there to cover him anymore.
