Reporters need help with questions

Last edited Tue Sep 26, 2017, 11:43 PM - Edit history (1)

Like the NFL question was a horrible softball today that Trump hit out of the park (expected, had his wingnut answer ready and he poured it on so thick)

How about:
" You have not given a SOLO press conference since X date, alone. Are you afraid?"

Or:
" You called Hillary Clinton a crook for using a private email server. Does that mean your daughter and son-in-law are crooks too? since they used private email for government business?"

and say "fake news" and turn away. He doesn't care or have any sense of who he works for.

Reporters had their shots during the campaign and at so many other points since his swearing in, they dropped the ball.
