Trump's Press Conference Leaves Reporters 'Shaken,' 'Rattled'
Truth Revolt ^ | 08/16/17 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 08/16/2017 5:19:43 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Independent Journal Review (IJR) collected a few unintentionally hilarious Twitter responses from journalists who reported being shaken by President Donald Trump’s aggressiveness in an extraordinary press conference Tuesday that was centered on questions about the weekend’s violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Vanity Fair reporter Gabriel Sherman was actually physically ill: “I am totally rattled by that presser. Chest tight, stomach queasy. Feel sick”:

Perhaps he should have his testosterone checked. It seems seriously depleted. But then, he does write for Vanity Fair.

Magazine editor David Lytle tweeted his empathy for Sherman: “I vomited on election night. Today, I bawled for 20 minutes. The stress and anxiety brought on by a threatening president is overwhelming”:

NBC’s Chuck Todd reportedly said on the air that the press conference gave him “the wrong kind of chills.”

“Honestly I’m a bit shaken by what I just heard, and I suspect it’s not just me,” he added.

Yahoo News editor Garance Franke-Ruta accused the President of “defending the nighttime white supremacist protest at UVA with torches”

CNN’s Brian Stelter echoed this concern, saying that “Trump risks sounding like a spokesman for the Unite the Right rally right now”

Trump claimed that “both sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, meaning the white supremacists and the “alt-left” radicals. That fair and balanced approach wasn’t what the left-leaning media wanted to hear.

Krauthammer has become StupidGOPeHammer.

Like many have said, he’s nothing more than a neocon.

I ignore him and have for some time now.

The problem is that we condemn radicals on our side, where as the left embraces, and promotes their radicals.

Yes the pregnant one sitting in the middle. I turned over probably not even 5 mins.

What gets me is that bimbo;s like her are in the news business, and yet seem to not watch the actually video;s on what they report. Instead they seem to listen to gossip in the coffee room, and then repeat it as if it were truth.

Thankfully I had One American News to listen to as I got ready for work

I could tell she was a leftist dimbulb right off.

When I see weak-kneed “conservatives” piling on President Trump, during this liberal coup, it really gets my fur up.

I expected it from the liberal fools. Not from crybabies who parse every spoken and unspoken word for reasons to attack.

People had better wake up quick. Let the scumbag left control the media with their false narratives, and you might as well install HillBarack as lifetime dictators.

I’d have said “All of them are f.ing retards”.

The Down Syndrome people would be mad at me.

“...Reporters ‘Shaken,’ ‘Rattled’, ...”

Poor babies.

Where I grew up there was an old saying; Act like an assh*le, expect to get treated like an assh*le.

Trump treated them like they deserved... masterfully.

Poor little Gabriel ... he probably had some “shrinkage” from being exposed to a Alpha Male. Li’l Gabey Won’t be able to pee-pee for like a week now...

Me, I got the opposite of shrinkage. That was great! And the idiots’ idiotic questions were icing on the cake. My favorite: “Are you saying that neo-Nazis and Klansmen had some fine people among them?” Watch out! Neo-nazis and Klansmen are out to stop municipalities from tearing down statues. WOOOOOOOOOO! Nobody else could possibly have a problem with that.

It’s something New Yorkers learn to do, assertiveness with manners.

The time for manners - when it comes to dealing with the freakshow - is long past.

But yes, I understand..

RE:”This probably won't amount to much in a few days, but it was avoidable.”

If you are right I will thank you for it but this has the potential of being poison to all the things we want done.
Anything he calls for now with congress racism will be the label given.

Tax cuts?? Voter ID ? =Attacks on non-whites.

I thought about what Trump should of done.
In the short term if he wasn't ready he should have focused on the victim who was killed and talk about her.

Not 'good people on both sides', AHHH.

After time to digest he should have pointed out a specific example of bad on ‘both sides’ .Here:
That those carrying torches chanting anti-Jewish slurs are evil.
That Antifa descending on them and on Trump supporters in other places with bats and bottles and rocks are evil.

Give our opponents a pile of crap for THEM to defend,
Give us the ammunition instead of the libs.
