President's response to HuffPo 'journalist' was absolutely perfect
President Trump is known for his sharp retorts to belligerent journalists. His mini-arguments with the likes of Jim Acosta are well-documented because the vast majority of the time he makes them look like the fools they are. But it was responses like the President had for Huffington Post White House correspondent S.V. Dáte that really set him apart from every President we've had in the modern era.
Questions like these do not deserve a response which is why the President didn't give him one. What makes the activist-journalist even more of an embarrassment to himself, his publication, and his profession is that he was actually proud of being shunned by the President of the United States.
Throughout our history, journalists have been biased. Anyone who believes this is a new phenomenon is simply wrong. But what's different now and was apparent during the last administration as well is that they no longer pretend to be unbiased. They may claim to be, but they don't act like it. Everyone is biased. It's part of human nature. But the self-control that was once expected of those who are supposed to be our constitutionally protected truth-seekers for the American people is completely gone.
The reality is this: President Trump has neither the time nor the inclination to waste a single syllable on activist journalists. Those who claim to be unbiased yet act like this are even more dishonest than Democrats on Capitol Hill.

It was a kind of “When did you stop beating your wife” kind of question. The dude was a wanker, except he has nothing to wank...
Sure he’s proud /s. It’s called saving face. It’s what you say when your attempt at 5 minutes of fame via a gottcha question at the president fails miserably.
The Bing headline said Trump was “left speechless”. Actually, Trump just moved on to someone else as if the other guy didn’t exist.
Sure is a lot of hate on twatter.
“Sure is a lot of hate on twatter.”
It’s where the sick f*cks go to hang out.
The President need to re-implement the old rule by which reporters gave their name and the name of the organization they represent before asking a question.
Yank his press credentials on his way into the next presser. Better yet, let the lovely Kayleigh tear the badge off his neck, then declare that it was HER decision to decertify him. Let him howl.
