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?”

Not just that, it’s a stupid question, because Cohen hasn’t been convicted of anything or even charged.

It actually would’ve been better, and more Queens-like, to say, “Go piss up a rope.”

“Stupid question. Anybody else, please?”


I hate when Trump say things like this.
Why not simply state the truth: “Stupid journalist. Anybody else please?”.

Well, he may not have admitted it, but he did refuse to deny that he committed murder...

Pay attention, that’s de facto what he said.

Trump tosses that aside as if the guy is a flea.

Has anyone asked Trump about Stormy Daniels and received and answer from him?

The way to stop it is to make them look like a fool on TV in front of a dignitary from another country... the whole world can see the reporter who thought he could do that to President Trump!

Agree 100... Which other president in recent times had the brass ones to call out a reporter for asking stupid question?? It must shock these candy-azz reporters to no end. No wonder they hate the POTUS. Because no one questioned their IQ before.

Yeah, he was the closest I could think of, too. Maybe LBJ. He was foul and blunt.

They are unhappy that Hillary did not win.

They thought they would be invited to all the best parties and be able to hold themselves in great esteem and power.

But, Hillary didn't win.

Boo-Hoo.

Treating an adult child like an...adult child. Nice!

Proggies are stuck in adolescence; look at their political heroes: Bill Maher, Rachel Madcow, Chucky Schumer, Neener Pelosi, George Clooney, Kathy Griffin. God help America.
