Reporter's blunt question to Trump goes unanswered
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Aug. 14, 2020 | Tim Elfrink

For more than half an hour on Thursday, President Donald Trump sounded familiar themes at his coronavirus briefing: blasting presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, arguing that the rapidly spreading virus is being effectively managed, and questioning the security of voting by mail.

Then he called on S.V. Dáte, HuffPost's White House correspondent.

“I guess they really are gearing up making me believe the polls are going Trump’s way.”

Took a robo poll last night and gave the following answers: Republican who voted for Trump in the last election, hate him now and am voting for Biden and democrats in the fall.

Trump handled it GREAT!

I saw the news conference and I missed it! I never heard the question. So Trump’s response was “perfect” because as with SERVPRO, “Like it never even happened.”

and where is the White House Correspondents Association self-disciplining of this disrespectful treatment of the Office of the President of the United States?

Yeah, great “ question”

Trump ignored the jerk, which is good
The guy should be replaced by a real reporter
Being a WH press reporter is a privilege

I do believe in my heart that God will give Trump another 4 years, after which the Last Trump will sound, and all of the demons’ wishes will be unleashed. We’re just getting a tiny glimpse.

Mark my words. Trump will be touched by the Spirit of God, and assist in an outpouring that the world has never seen. Those that will turn their hearts to God, will turn. Those that won’t, will be caught up in a delusion stronger than we even see now. And then - FLASH. ALL.HELL.BREAKS.LOOSE.

The world needs a man who does the right thing. He is not afraid to confront evil.

That is not a blunt question. It is absurd.

Oh you mean the question that is like the question, “When did you stop beating your wife”?

The question is not a question but an accusation that should go unanswered except to kick that goon outta there for good.

He knows what HuffPost is, why even call on it or any of its comrades in the room? What else are those clowns going to ask?

You knew this was coming.

Trump should have smacked the guy down like he was doing back in April. But he is being advised to schmooze the Karens.

By letting it pass the media spins it as “so, you didn’t have an answer, so it must be true”.

Even suburban soccer moms would see that question as non-serious and "aggressive". Trump called on him to display the hatred and it reflects quite poorly on the media and reinforces the notion the media is biased and corrupt.

This is exactly the point. If POTUS answered at all the press conference would have turned into a free for all. I wish the pressitude could have his pass pulled but even that plays into their hands like t did for Acosta.

"Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you've done to the American people?" Dáte asked.

Trump: do you regret being a foolish idiot and a stupid disgrace your whole life?

At today’s Presser a Blonde Woman Reporter asked POTUS Trump if he had a “problem” with a “Strong Woman of Color” running for VP?
