The pictures are numbered. The number on each reporter’s picture corresponds to the numbered answers in his notebook.
So, he calls on the “reporter,” gets the question that has been submitted ahead of time to his staff, and turns to the corresponding numbered answer in his notebook that he then reads off verbatim or tries to read and instead rambles on with an unrelated, meandering, confused answer.
That’s why the reporters were so well-behaved and respectful. They all knew the part they were to play in this charade of a news conference. Don’t confuse poor Joe. Nothing should be spontaneous or unexpected for someone suffering from senile dementia.
The media are all in pretendo-land to help prop up a real travesty of a stolen presidency.
Just imagine the skit SNL could make out of this sham. That is, if libs like them could just pull their head’s out of their rectums for 2 min.
