Just landed in New York to see my brother, Robert. We’re going for New York on November 3rd. We’re going to Reduce Taxes, Increase Law Enforcement, and bring it back BIG TIME! #MAGA
 
Reporter gets to the point:
For more than half an hour on Thursday, President Trump sounded familiar themes at his coronavirus briefing: blasting presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, arguing that the rapidly spreading virus is being effectively managed, and questioning the security of voting by mail.

Then he called on S.V. Dáte, HuffPost’s White House correspondent.

“Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you’ve done to the American people?” Dáte asked.

Trump looked confused. “What?” he asked.

“All the lying. All the dishonesties,” Dáte repeated.

“That who has done?” Trump asked.

“You have done,” Dáte said.

Trump paused briefly, then called on another reporter without answering.

The biggest difference between the Presidential Race in 2020 and that of 2016 is the 2016 candidate, Crooked Hillary Clinton, was much smarter and sharper than Slow Joe, we have even more ENTHUSIASM now, and @FoxNews has become politically correct and no longer the big deal!

"Great! An excuse to get to New York to campaign! Oh, yeah... I suppose I'll have to stop in to see my stupid brother, too, just to make it look good."
 
Today, when asked if he agreed with Marjorie Taylor Greene about the QAnon conspiracy, he refused to answer. He ignored the follow up question and quickly moved on.

"Well, she did very well in the election. She won by a lot. She was very popular. She comes from a great state and she had a tremendous victory so absolutely, I did congratulate her," Trump said during a White House briefing.
He did not answer a follow-up question about whether he believes in the conspiracy theory she has embraced.

As if he hasn't made that back twentyfold....I'm sure that is an understatement.

BFD. That's like me putting $10 in the local food drive can at the grocery store check out counter, bragging about it and expecting people to think I'm some kind of great human being.

Looking at you, Chris Wallace! I prefer the OAN reporters especially that Polynesian looking one. Can't remember her name at the moment.

The other reporter should've just repeated the question, and so on, until he had to either leave the room or ask OAN for help.

Agreed. That is exactly what Mary Trump said the other day in her Salon interview. She said Donald gets away with his lies because he is not forced to face them. She said each reporter needs to just repeat the same question until he either answers or storms off...which is what he'll likely do. Unfortunately, the reporters are more interested in getting their own moment in the spotlight than working together.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the reporter who confronted Trump with the 'lies' question is banned from the WH.

Wasn't it 30% in 2016?

Also, I'd think they've improved their algorithms and such.

How do the algorithms account for corruption, voter suppression, foreign interference and other forms of cheating that Trump/Putin's people are utilizing?

Elephant in the room, they always have to couch the interference as "may have affected the election."

Let's face it, Trump had assistance strategically amplifying his propaganda.

Doesn't mean there weren't numerous other factors that impacted the election outcome. But if we can't even admit it impacted the 2016 outcome, how are we going to take it seriously now?
