...But on Twitter, he suggested that the query had been on his mind for some time. "For five years I've been wanting to ask him that," Dáte tweeted.

So he's been dying to ask this stupid question since before Donald Trump was even elected? Mr. President, revoke this so-called ournalist's press credentials!

[Vision]

This person is not a reporter.

[Thommas]

What a dique question. PDJT did the right thing - don't answer such a BS, nonsense pronouncement (because it's not really a question.)

Next "question?" Do you regret killing off your grandchildren?
Do you regret not getting a M.D. degree?
Do you regret bombing Serbia?
Do you regret selling HIV contaminated blood to Canada?

These MSM types are reprehensible.

That is a lie. That was not a blunt question. It was a statement and Obama did not get anything like it in 8 years.

Is the reporter still a junkie? Has he been able to kick his cocaine habit?

[Sans-Culotte]

This guy sounds like the reincarnation of Helen Thomas. I’m surprised Trump didn’t burst out laughing.

Imagine the completely different SFGate response if a reporter had asked 0bama that Q!

[JimSp]

I support a 90 day ban from the press pool for this reporter.

[LoveMyFreedom]

As well as it should have!

“Do you plan on slapping any soldiers in England, General?”

[AppyPappy]

This is the sorry state of journalism

[cuban leaf]

That is a textbook, “Is it true you’ve stopped beating your wife?” Question. Such questions never deserve an answer, even if valid.

[bray]

Give an example of one lie.

[Redmen4ever]

I heard the “non-answer” to the insult.

I support a 90 day ban from the press pool for this reporter.

Then he'll be a martyr. Instead simply don't call on him ever again when his rotation to appear comes up. I'd ask for questions from OAN, Epoch Times, Fox, then walk away.

I think Kayleigh should play it again at her presser and let the media watch it as it makes them look foolish. Then comment about how non-serious and biased reporters are, then drop mike and leave.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Vile media whore projects on the President.

This from one of the most prodigious profligators of mistruth, obfuscation, deceit, and fraud in modern history.

And they are so very proud.
