If *I* was a WH reporter, I'd go full "Network" on his ass...job be damned

[Roland99]

something like...

Why do you think you're so hated by the press? Why do you think the markets are going down and almost 2 dozen states have declared Shelter in Place? Why do you think the number of cases in the US are climbing exponentially??

It's because you're a FUCKING MORON! You're SO worried about your precious stock market numbers when those WON'T MATTER when TENS of MILLIONS of Americans are hospitalized and 5-10% of them DIE!

This isn't about YOU, you narcissistic piece of shit! This is about AMERICA!

WAKE UP OR RESIGN NOW!

3. oh-so satisfying fantasy scenario

At Trump's next "substitute Hillbilly Hate Rally" briefing, some reporter asks him: "After being apprised of the danger way back in January, you did nothing for the next 10 weeks except lie, saying it’s fake, saying it's just a Democratic hoax. There are still people today who believe that, to their detriment. That may well prove to be the most irresponsible act of an elected official ever witnessed in anyone's lifetime. Are you ready now to apologize to the American people for your malfeasance, step aside from these briefings, and allow knowledgeable adults do the talking instead of making everyone listen to your childish, attention-seeking blather of misinformation?"
And then, after Trump insults the reporter in a rage and refuses to answer, the next reporter asks him the *exact same question.* And so on, and so on, until Captain Queeg breaks down in an apoplectic fit of spittle-spewing profanity, and has to be dragged away from the podium.

4. I've wanted this to happen too.

5. 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore!'

I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

6. I can just hear the fake RW outrage already...

“How dare they speak to the pResident in such a manner? You cannot treat the pResident with such disrespect...”

Meanwhile, every single DAY that idiot in chief throws cheap insults at the press, can even answer a simple question without bringing out a litany of complaints in that whiny spoiled brat voice. And went ballistic on that reporter who threw him a softball question.

If you want respect, show respect. When are the WH correspondents going to revolt?

7. I'd like to see this at one of Cheetolini's pressers...

8. We May Well See It Soon

He is unwittingly forcing this to eventually happen.

I mean you cannot keep calling questioners “terrible reporters” because they call you on your incessant lying.
