On the strength of your recommendation I watched it an cannot agree more. Who know Steffie could act like an actual journalist? Not a word of snark or CNN-ish spin and excellent questions and responses from the President.
It's only because he fears PDJT's far superior mind, and knows he'd be sorry if he tried his snarky little piss-ant tricks.
Out of respect for the office, the snark is postponed until the post-interview analysis, when they tell the masses what to think.
He may have been warned ahead of time. ANY stupid questions would be slapped down and Steffie would be made a fool of in front of the whole World!
