OMG Just Watch: Trump Shuts Down Partisan Reporter During COVID-19 Briefing
That was funny watching Trump take her stupid gotcha question and give her nothing she was trying to nail him. He totally demolished the premise of her partisan biased question
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Trump absolutely DESTROYED Weijia Jiang from CBS when she asked him the most useless, unimaginative “gotcha” question to have ever been asked.
“Yesterday, Jared Kushner said, ‘the notion of the federal stockpile was it’s supposed to be our stockpile, it’s not supposed to be state’s stockpiles that they then use,’” Jiang said. “What did he mean by ‘our’ given the fact that taxpayers from every state pays for it?”
Now, anyone with sense that can see past their own prejudices would infer that Kushner was indicating that the stockpiling of supplies is supposed to be the responsibility of the federal government to then distribute to states, rather than the responsibility of individual states. We could spend some meaningful time and effort discussing whether that’s the best idea, but interpreting his comment took literally .01248 seconds and barely more than 0 units of brain energy.
Jiang, however, is evidently not representative of the aforementioned group, and thought she could somehow trick President Trump into admitting that his family was hoarding all the supplies for themselves, I guess? I don’t know what she possibly thought she would gain by parsing the semantics of the OBVIOUSLY patriotic “our,” but whatever it was, she didn’t get it.
“Oh, why are you asking? What’s that, a gotcha, I gotcha, you used the word ‘our,’” Trump fired back. “You know what ‘our’ means? United States of America, that’s what it means. It means United States of America, and then we take that ‘our’ and we distribute it to the states.” “He’s talking about the federal government,” Trump continued. “I mean, it’s such a basic, simple question, and you try to make it sound so bad. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you know what, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. It’s such a simple question. He said, ‘our,’ and ‘our’ means for the country, and ‘our’ means for the states because the states are a part of the country. Don’t make it sound bad.”
Instead of accepting her ass that Trump neatly handed back to her, Jiang continued to interrupt and derail the briefing. When the President moved on to another reporter, she continued to push her nonsense question, and when Trump said, “You asked your question,” she had either the sheer audacity or utter stupidity to say he didn’t answer her question.
This is the state of journalism in America and I for one am thrilled that Trump is handling it the way he is.
Bonus video moment: At the very end, watch Trump’s face when the next reporter starts his question, “To f

Crooked donnie the WORST president in the history of this country can't answer a simple question....it was not a gotcha question, most Americans would like to hear the answer to that question.
If they need a answer to that question they are probably a TDS sufferer and no matter what President Trump says they would still piss and moan like the triggered snowflakes they are.
That wasn't a "simple" question. It was a STUPID question and you know it.
He did answer the question. You may have been in freak out mode because he called out a f$cking moron while he answered it.
I don't it's that they refuse to get it. I don't think they have the ability to get it.
"Just a follow-up on that..."
That shit is endless.
I don't know much about the source to this opinion piece. Can someone tell me about Chicks on the Right so I can make my own informed opinion?
It's really just a video. You can watch the video and form your opinion.
hard enough for what most of trumpski's sycophants were doing while he busy was blowing his own horn
I seen the actual briefing, President Trump did make this woman look like a total fool and in the same briefing Jim Acosta got the same treatment asking a ignorant question.
I haven't caught the TDS sufferers go to Rachel Madcows talking points on what Jarred was supposed to mean when he called medical supplies 'ours', But what the actual Fuck do they think he was talking about?

Chicks on the Right are a group of women funded by the FSB who are against birth control for everyone except them.

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to draw attention to the ridiculous source without being immediately deleted.
Follow the money. You really believe the Koch or Mercer Foundations would finance this?
Just the fact that two middle age women refer to themselves as "chicks" should tell you all you need to know.
Yes. The Court of The Supreme Beings, once this Corona Thing is over are going to take up that very issue of CHOICE.
No, the criticism is word based. No human female should refer to herself as a "chick", aka baby bird. That's fecking stupid.
I am a guy so my opinion doesn't mean much, but....
I think it is like women calling each other whores.
Some may think it is in jest yet words do hurt after a while.
Actually I think dude can be gender neutral.
Now you are going to call off topic?
A little late for that I think.
Actually, contrary to the belief of the right wing on this whole seed, it was a very pertinent question to ask. How can he say that he didn't want to give it to states and say 'Ours' then they, as always, walk back what was said.
donald the clown didn't like the question being asked so he attacked. And of course the conservative faction here has to do the same.
I have never in my life seen such a follow the leader attitude in a bunch of people.
And if a couple of men were dudes on the left would you criticize them calling themselves dudes if they were middle aged?
"dudes" is a term for male humans last time I checked.
I kinda disagree in a way.
Yes people think male yet it is more of a generic term. I could even say it to a woman, like dude, that happened.
Seriously??????
Well, there are those out there that WANT to be dudes, like lesbians and liberal males, but sometimes you just can't be...you know...two genders and all.
Not only is that absurd, it is also absurd.
Is there a question of the reality of the video?
Not questioning the reality of the video.
Trump said, "We've done a job like nobody else." That is the reality.
A job like nobody else alright...
And today, Trump said, "We can see the light at the end of the tunnel." Yes, he really said that.
I'd love to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she got a legitimate answer and then acted like she hadn't. So, we know what she's really about - exactly what the president said.
The president couldn't answer the question because he couldn't understand the question. What Kushner inferred is puzzling. There also the likelihood that the 'alleged' government stockpiles may not exist to the extent The Administration believes.
The president should have told Jaing that he wasn't informed on all of the details concerning her questions and would look into it and get back with her. Instead he became combative. That accomplishes nothing.
Still amazes me that no matter what they say, or don't say, the conservatives jump on the bandwagon without question.
If Obama had said something like Kushner said, the right wing would have had a meltdown.
Except Obama would never say that. A thought or ideology of that sort is simply not in his genetic makeup.
True.
Imo a main right wing ideology seems to be, mine..mine..mine...
He doesn't have to. He lives it.
Come out of freak out mode and listen carefully to his answer. If the audio is hard for you there is a transcript of it in the seeded article. If that is hard for you, there are other suggestions that I have that would probably result in you crying and me suspended.
