(1,789 posts)Probably all of them. Mr. Swan needs to watch a comedy quick before his expression gets stuck like that.

(33,440 posts)with follow ups Trump couldn't ignore entirely. This counts as a journalistic triumph in 2020.
The usual method is to start with the hyperbolic generalities and never stop talking until it feels like you've exhausted the questioner. There's never any content but gaslighting: abuse, self-regard, knee-jerk ignorance, or outright lies intended to distract.

Not unlike what I feel every time I hear His Lardship (or see either of his two expressions - nausea-inducing smirk or anus-mouth.)
