Trump Told a Female Reporter to Be 'Quiet' After She Asked a Question During a Photo Op
Source: Glamour
On Monday, as Donald Trump posed for a photo with the current class of White House interns, Associated Press reporter Catherine Lucey tried to use the moment as an opportunity to ask the President about his recent comments about Jeff Sessions and the status of the Republican health care bill.
Trump's reply: An eye roll and curt command: Be "quiet."
As the interns laughed in response to Trump's dismissal of the reporter, he turned to them and told them that Lucey "was not supposed to" ask him questions and was "breaking a code."
But as the AP noted, it's not uncommon for reporters to ask the President a question or two during a staged photo oplike a White House intern photo. And typically, the President answers those questions. This, of course, isn't the first time Trump has accosted a female reporter. In 2015, he launched the first in a series of attacks against former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. Numerous NBC newswomen, too, have been the target of Trump's ire, including reporter Katy Turwho Trump singled out multiple timesand, most recently, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski.

(19,204 posts)especially the parent of a young girl, allow their child to be a White House intern? Do you KNOW how long it's been since tRump has had an opportunity to grab a young lady by the ________? He's tense to the point of bursting blood vessels, Malaria won't get within grabbing distance, and Ivanka is too busy helping Jared hide assets, that he'll later remember, on his security forms. He's reached a boiling point, and _______ grabbing is his stand-by release mechanism.
Nope, nope, nope.......I wouldn't care what my daughter's major was in College, she'd have to change it. Working in a White House filled with incompetent ass kissers will teach her nothing about actual politics, or political administration. Letting her loose in the White House, with Der Gropenfuhrer on the prowl, is not what good parenting is all about.

(90,787 posts)Silencing the press is funny is them. Telling a woman to "Be quiet" is funny to them.

(47,613 posts)and encourage Trump that scare me the most, especially if they are young people. There was nothing funny or presidential about what Trump did, but apparently those shallow youngsters were amused.

(90,787 posts)That helps to normalize him.
And Trump is a symptom not a cause. Such a man could not rise to power in a well educated, moral society. If it hadn't been Trump, it would have been another megalomaniac.

(41,864 posts)does he close off the White House to all reporters except for Brietbart and Fox News?

(5,815 posts)So as the pressure builds, it gets harder and harder for him to maintain any semblance of composure---even for a simple photo shoot. He has been emboldened to say or do whatever enters that pig head of his. But I think he is approaching a point where the less devoted of his fans will start to wonder why he ALWAYS seems to have a burr under his saddle. The devoted, of course, love their snarky President. He really tells it like it is.
