Trump rebukes 'stupid question' from ABC News star reporter
FoxNews ^ | 4/24/2018 | Brian Flood

President Trump scolded ABC News star reporter Jonathan Karl for asking a “stupid question” about whether or not he would be open to pardoning Michael Cohen during Tuesday’s photo spray with French President Emmanuel Macron.

The FBI raided the office and hotel room of Cohen, who is Trump’s personal attorney, earlier this month. Karl, the Chief White House correspondent for ABC News, asked Trump if he would consider pardoning Cohen.

“Stupid question,” Trump responded while looking directly at Karl. “Anybody else, please?”

As much as I cringe sometimes by his off the cuff comments that make him sound ridiculous, it's things like this that pull me back in.

"Sleepy-eyed Chuck Todd ... that sleeping son of a bitch."

I'm not even sure what it means but it makes me smile every time I hear it.

It's just plain rude to ask an irrelevant question about some domestic scandal right in front of a foreign dignitary who is our guest.

And the headlines will read “Cohen Pardon Possible. Trump Refuses To Deny”.

A trap question. Would you consider stopping beating your wife?

Let's work our way through this controversy to a headline using Fake News logic:

1) Trump refused to answer question.

2) People who refuse to answer a reporter's question must be guilty of something.

3) Trump was being asked about his lawyer.

4) Lawyers sometimes defend clients accused of murder.

Headline: TRUMP ADMITS COMMITTING MURDER!

President Donald Trump makes good use of his First Amendment right. Probably if the ABC reporter had any schooling, it would be proper to ask questions regarding the moment at hand. Yes, it was a stupid question. I would think ABC could find a reporter that could be more tactful about the right question at the right time, at the right place. Good response.

And, the news coverage will talk about how rude Trump was, and how his response offended the sensibilities of the media types in the New York/Washington axis. They will focus on this rather than the inane question posed.

I was watching and all the reporters were shouting with each trying to scream a question louder than the others. It reminded me of traders on the floor of the stock market, absolutely crazy.

Finally a women’s voice was heard above the others telling them it was time to leave and she repeated it several times until they left and silence returned. The President seemed unfazed by it all and smiled as he turned to one sitting beside him (maybe the French president) and said something briefly to him.

DSM (Deep state media) continues it's attacks on Trump, only to have it backfire in their lying faces once again.

DSM still thinks they're dealing with Boosh. What a burn! What a hoot!

In other words, former President Harry Truman is resting peacefully, knowing the first tell-em-like-it-is President since him is in the White House.

I love plain and simple talk. And it doesn’t get any plainer or simpler than that!

I wonder what went through that reporters mind. Seething rage? Embarrassment? FU? Can these cretins even be embarrassed?

I imagine most other POTUSes have wanted to say that and were too cowed to do it.
