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.

These are the same folks that like to blame Israel for any response to terrorism and go on about the “cycle of violence.” Moral equivalence doesn’t look so good to them now, eh?

I don’t believe the polls. They are baked, and they will start tanking. The left concocted all this to change the message. NK, a victory, was buried.

I saw Krauthammer last night. I was ready to turn off the TV and then Laura Ingraham rolled him.

I agree with what Trump said. Both sides should be condemned. Find the ANTIFA organizers and put them in jail for not having a permit to demonstrate.

They will get back to “collusion” soon enough.

I see the NY Post has chosen to be as much of a piece of garbage paper as the NY Times. It’ good to see all these Globalists finally come out behind there hiding places

SKA-REW the Fake-News RATagandists....they deserve much worse, and hopefully it is yet to come.

Hopefully the President compares them to Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi ministry of propaganda...and refers to them as the leftwing fascists they really are.

They are totally antithetical to our American tenets of a free society.

I saw that too. It was so disgusting and fake, just like Schumer.

If making themselves out to be nothing but big pussies was their objective, they succeeded w flying colors.

That can’t be the problem. He probably gets regular anal injections of it.

Here’s the real true skinny folks...the American people speak with their votes in massive support of POTUS, Donald J. Trump re; The Charlottesville “McAuliffe” setup. :The truth of this evil,setup will soon surface with the truth coming out.

Alabama Senate Primary Election voter totals from last evening.

Republicans - 417,968 - Massive Victory
Democrats - 158,481 - Pitiful Turnout

Republican Special Election Victories, 2017 - FIVE
Democrat Special Election Victories, 2017 -ZERO

The numbers speak clearly for themselves.

The problem is not that Trump condemns ALL violence and hate. The problem is the media/left do not. It’s selective outrage.

Why do leftists always insist on talking about their feelings? Nobody cares. Grow up, ‘journalists.’

It's the wholesale adoption of the female mentality. What do women do when the bigger, stronger men don't do what they want? They cry, and it triggers, in most men, a protective, conciliatory instinct. Now imagine a whole political movement built around that sort of mentality. What the males in that ideology don't realize, though, is that the whole crying "I'm a poor helpless victim" act, while effective when used by women, is seen as wholly pathetic when used by men...er...males. However, the constant usage of this by women on the Left does still hold some sway. That is why the Left knows they have to seduce and control the women first in order to get to the men.
