I know it's never going to happen.
The reporter might "lose access."
The Secret Service might taze them, or maybe Kash Patel will put them in front of a firing squad.
But that "MISS PIGGY" bullshit really chaps my hide. And reporters keep swallowing it. Eventually, he might drop the "N" word, or something worse. Can't believe how we have normalized his abhorrent behavior.

Seriously?
And nobody batted an eye. The entire press pool is a bunch of cowards.

I reluctantly "get" the concept of push-back when a president is involved.
What I don't get is that this didn't BEGIN with his political career. He's been rude / boorish / sexist for his entire life, and he's always gotten away with it.

Also would probably get fired. And would be constantly harangued and threatened by MAGAts.
The repoter who stands up to the pedo, will have to be willing to burn a lot of bridges.

(3,529 posts)As far as these reporters taking a verbal raping from the orange asshole every day, they are going to have to figure out what their dignity is worth. Access is temporary, but longer term their credibility will be gone and they will be regulated to the dust bin of former Trump brown noses; ie., worthless.

has ALWAYS been second nature to Trump. Can you think of any other POTUS who has had insulting nicknames for all those whom he considers "enemies." To him, that's anyone who doesn't kiss up or fawn over him. It will take a long time to get over HIS sucking up to those sheiks recently. (Compare with his treatment of Zelensky).

(13,805 posts)Every single press person should unite and refuse to attend and cover his briefings. Journalists can still work and report information, but seriously--what is the point of his abusive and always dishonest treatment at his briefings? He does not co-operate and absolutely nothing is learned. Instead, he should be press starved.

(25,965 posts)I have mentioned I wish a reporter with enough bank would call him out at a press conference...but a poster just mentioned potential harassment from some extreme Magats - so idk. Maybe a single person w no kids?
