Too funny.
What did the full statement say?
Trump showed more patience that I would have. That reporter would have been thrown out into the cold. Without his coat.
I thought Trump handled that manipulative reporter effectively and appropriately. He also managed to dodge the opportunity to clarify his position on abortion, though. I got the impression that it is “oppose morally, support legally”, just one step back up the slippery slope from where we are today.
Don’t you know who I am??
Since probably better than 95% of journaldogs are joyful baby killers was the questioner concerned that Trump had strayed off the reservation?
Trump has answered this question on when and why his position changed.
There are things I do not like about Trump but it appears that his position on several issues have honestly changed over the years from a more leftist to conservative position.
Seems like The Donald does not like when he is confronted with his own words.
The Republicans have been the media's pulltoy everytime this tactic is used on them - half quotes, partial quotes, quotes taken out of contexts...Pubbies never correct them or call them out for it...they just fold like the Gutless Old Party that they are.
So what was the original quote in context?
The reporter willfully mangled an old Trump quote, and Trump called him on it.
THIS is what I’m looking for!
Trump clubbed that reporter like a baby seal. Over and over.
He only read part of the words Trump said in order to make it look like he was pro abortion. Trump got in his face and made him read the whole statement he made which came out and then Trump dismissed him as dishonest.
Then, later, Trump have that reporter another chance to ask a question, but first he wanted an apologize for getting the first question wrong. The reporter was too proud and Trump dismissed him again - went onto another reporter.
It was a total Trump win. Reporter looked like an idiot to the crowd.
Point goes to the journalist.
If this was the exchange where the reporter was reduced to lamely defending his giving an incomplete quote by saying it was because he didn’t have a good wifi connection on his tablet, then I definitely thought Trump got the better of the reporter. I heard the audio of it earlier today and was impressed by how effectively Trump shut the guy down.
