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

Posted on 04/24/2018 11:50:31 AM PDT by PJBankard

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?”

I like it.

Sarah Huckabee is a little more polite, she replies ‘That's ridiculus’

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

Yup. If he said "yes" it implies Cohen broke the law and Trump is going to let him get away with it. If he says "no" it implies that Cohen broke the law and Trump is going to sacrifice him. There is no "good" answer other than what Trump did: tell the reporter to pound sand.

Epic smackdown.

This goes back to the days when President Trump was a regular feature on WWE.

It was a loaded question. Trump was supposed to respond, “For what crime.”

To which he’d respond, “Extortion, paying off Stormy Daniels, fraud, theft and colluding with Russians.”

Karl will pen an article titled: “The President told me to shut up but I won’t. Here’s why”.

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

He is a flea. They all are, and Trump has finally put them in their place. This is precisely why they hate him. They're not fleas because of their jobs. They're fleas because they don't do their jobs, and instead are self-aggrandizing fame-seeking activists trying to push their own agenda. They don't deserve any respect.

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

Well said, and spot on.

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.

There's another Donald out there who I'll bet enjoys seeing these executive slap-downs: Rumsfeld.

That looks like the homosexual nightly anchor next to Karl...and eyeing him sexually.

I am so very proud of President Trump. I would like to live long enough to vote for him 10 more times.

I’ve already posted this earlier, but if you haven’t had a chance yet, be sure to watch “The Art of the Insult”

I think you can watch it free with Amazon Prime.

I loved every minute of 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.

...

Yep, and the same stupid question was asked at yesterday’s press conference.

Does anyone else think they can guess someone’s ideology by looking at them? I swear I I could go 75% at least.
