    What's most pathetic is that Pence, like a real head of state, answered the same question properly 5 minutes later.

    Would Trump suffer the side effects of using his tanning bed too intensively?

    Cute how your clip misleadingly cuts in conveniently at the end of that interaction :roll: Trump had already spent minutes answering that reporter, only to have that reporter cut off the next person's question because he was still so hellbent on pushing his agenda.

    I don't suppose you'd share the rest of the clip? The two or three minutes leading up to the part you've misleadingly cropped?

    I doubt you will, but I bet someone here knows how to do it, and will be honest enough to share.

    People hellbent on politicizing this make me sick.

    **** this orange *******. His response to what is your message to terrified Americans is "You're a terrible reporter" and "We will see."

    Anyone who is interested in the rest of the clip, go see @Steve N 's thread
    "I'd Say You're a Terrible Reporter!" - Trump UNLOADS on Fearmongering NBC Hack Peter Alexander"



    Me? LOLOLOL. I'm not politicizing this one bit. If you think my posts are politicized, that's telling about how politicized you are.

    I'm not the one afraid to watch and share entire clips and complete information so as to present an accurate picture instead of a spin-doctored version. Are you brave enough to watch the rest of the clip and admit you were wrong?

    I'm sorry the middle is so far right of you that you think it's politicized. :roll:

    This post might actually be funny if it was not for the fact you totally ignored she was responding to the shameless politicization in the op.

    FDR - "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself ..."

    Trump - "It's somebody else's fault, not mine. Quit asking me about my plans for the future ...".

    This response is the exact same logic that Trump used when asked about no politicizing while attacking governors. As if the "no politicizing" rule should get suspended when you are just "responding."

    Also via this clip:

    Reporter: "So yeah, before the question I basically said you put a positive spin on things. Then I ask him a question to do just that."
    It's called goading. The propagandist may think he can find shelter among left wing voters. But he will find no shelter among the right and moderates.

    Propagandists like him are a MAJOR part of the issue.

    He asked the same identical question to two adult men. One man went ballistic and the the second man gave a civil appropriate answer and that makes Peter a terrible reporter and a propagandist. You're very funny.

    That reporter is a professional who asked a softball question, one that was both pertinent and phrased to allow Trump to provide a calm and reassuring message to the public.

    One man said it may work, it might not work but that the reporter shouldn't put words in people's mouths: "Americans are afraid" and use that to send a message. They are indeed propagandists, responsible for the buying up of toilet paper and our current SOVIET UNION status.

    The media and its handlers burned this country down to ground zero, in less than a week.

    What the hell was fake news about the question?! There are millions of Americans who are terrified right now. People are dying. People are getting infected by the thousands.

    We are seeing daily, living proof that bullshit doesn’t cut it in the moment of truth.
    Recent press conferences have really shown that he is a moron who is (thankfully) surrounded by competent people.
    Watching Dr Brix who comes across not just as competent but extremely competent and well informed and articulate.
    All Trump gives is platitudes without any substance.

    I genuinely can’t understand how anyone could vote for such a moron.

    That wasn't a softball question. It was a question to insulate that the American Public feels "fear" and that he has to respond to that. Try excusing this propagandist: Who's he to say what we fear, or don't fear? And who's he to say we fear the virus? Or the media reporting of it?

    You want to live in the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union? Because we're getting there. And apparently Pence is to be the President of this new Soviet Union.

    Cut down on Fake News and follow the CDC's advice and you will probably get through this.

    You're seriously trying to tell us that there are not millions of people who are scared? That this reporter is somehow not supposed to ask on their behalf?

    I gotta go with liberals on this one. Trump should have been more presidential and called that reporter a ' piece of ****' the way Biden does...

    I'm saying this reporter's job, as Trump perfectly said was not to cause sensationalism but to neutrally and impartially report the news Trying to goad a "response" and to insulate fear, is exactly propaganda.

    What "we" fear, is this SOVIET UNION that has been endorsed. Seemingly overnight, as the WHO/CDC have now become de-facto President's. As I said: Pence is apparently now the head of this Soviet Union status.

    I wish I were part of the Heritage Foundation to give a big nose dive on the freedom index, because the US has become Soviet and there are those who cheer this as 'different to Trump'. Be careful what you wish for, the bolsheviks give diktats, they don't follow laws and customs.(As you saw in Cali and other places.)
