    I think this was a pretty smart move from the reporter.
    I sense that Trump felt she was throwing him a bait question so that's what triggered him. Once she realized her position, she flipped the cards on him and made him look pretty bad.
    I think Trump messed up regardless because now everyone will look at him even MORE villainous especially to the snowflake eye

    He has been more patient with the "gotcha" questions than I would be.

    You guys are running out of people to peddle your BS.

    New account coming in here to spout Brian Steltzer style propaganda .... that's what you have come to?

    MSM sends a Chinese reporter to ask a ridiculous question, Trump says "Ask China"..... and they scream

    REEEEEEEEEAAAAAACISM!!!!

    Thank god we are in the 20's, this type of BS propaganda tactic is "So 2010's"

    I am so glad we didn’t elect a woman though — they are so emotional!

    Nonsense, I watched this briefing, the two female reporters were becoming hysterical, one trying to portray Trump's reference to China as racist the other upset because she missed her turn. Best and only thing to do is to walk away and let them cool off... which is exactly what he did.

    she clearly lost her temper somewhere between make-up and fixing her hair...because she was determined to start an argument

    Here is the TRUTH, if Trump didn't have money, he would be a incel. He is such a putz, that women would laugh at him. What a freak. Women now laugh at him, and they may be the key to ridding us of this clown.

    I watched it. President Trump did not "have a fit". Nor did he storm out as the idiots on another board claimed.

    Yes. And was there a point to saying that? Do you mean Trump is thin skinned? That is pretty obvious to everybody.

    Trump is killing us all for his own profit and gets angry at anyone who points it out. Next will be when he has the Secret Service take reporters into custody for daring to incur his wrath.

    That really would not be a big deal. FDR used to send his Secret Service to seize the cameras of any reporters who made a picture of him in a wheelchair.

    If you compared Trump to FDR in FDR's hearing he would probably have gotten up out of his wheelchair and kicked the piss out of you. I don't generally agree that respect should be earned as we're all human, but I do say that contempt is something we bring on ourselves and usually richly deserve when we do

    The point is that anyone upset about gotcha questions needs to understand what keeps people tuned in. Stupid? You bet.

    Sure but then failing to respond to them certainly isn't a "fit."

    What is really fascinating is that folks can watch the same briefing and "see" things in entirely different ways.

    Trump reacts negatively to anything he perceives as negative to him. His combustible personality just can't handle any kind of questioning that he interprets as a personal attack........ even if the questions a re far from it. He should be able to handle most questions without reacting to them or without walking out in a temper tantrum. He can't even handle people like the experts getting positive attention for the good information they give the public. He threatens to cancel the task force. The country keeps getting mixed menages....... confusion from the POTUS and facts from the experts. Now he is attacking Dr. Fucci. He does not tolerate anyone that speaks the facts ad truth and particularly if they don't fit Trumps premise. It is unpleasant to watch Trump embarrass himself that way. To attack the competent people like that is deplorable. unprofessional.........and immature .All Trump cares about is getting re elected....while making things up as he goes along.

    He does not have "mild fits"........he has tantrums. He is combustible. and it does not take much to trigger him. He is too reactive for the job. Because of that he is not ;objective and everything has to favor HIM........All he wants is flattery , compliments as he can't get enough of same. He has t have HIS way.......so experts are over ruled and soon trashed by him........as they are a threat to him.(his ego) People are supposed to walk on egg shells around him........ as no one knows when or what will trigger his outbursts. He does not have the psychological make up needed for the position. this virus has brought ;out his weaknesses.

    Re: Virus management. It i has been noticed world wide that the nations with a lady in charge are doing better in handling this pandemic. Women take a more comprehensive approach to things. and are NOT as emotional as some seem t o think.

    And all this just at the worst possible time it could happen. Like the one guy was saying we need a comprehensive response to this pandemic or we could face a very dark fall.

    I hope the American people realize from this that the presently existing Republican Party needs to be utterly eradicated as a viable political influence in this country. Any political ideology that could give us someone like Trump as a Chief Executive, let alone slavishly defend him, is a threat not only to our basic freedoms but to our very survival as these developments so clearly illustrate.

    Ah but it was Democratic Party who gave us President Trump, not Republican Party. Have you learned your lesson? No. You’re now fronting ole Joe Bite_me who’s even worse candidate than Hillary was.

    Enjoy 4 more years of President Trump.

    Saying Trump had a "fit" is pure opinion. You're welcome to it.
