Trump Rips Washington Post Reporter Philip Rucker: ‘I’m The President And You’re Fake News’
Daily Caller ^ | 4-23-20 | William Davis

President Donald Trump ripped Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker on Thursday after Rucker questioned the president about encouraging people to go outside.

After the White House released a study showing that warm weather and sunlight can significantly reduce the risk of the coronavirus, Rucker asked the president if it was “dangerous” for him to encourage people to go outside.

“Here we go. The new headline is Trump asks people to go outside, that’s dangerous,” the president said. “I hope people enjoy the sun, and if it has an impact, that’s great.”

When Rucker persisted with his line of questioning, Trump responded by calling him “fake news.”

Trump is now being cautious, but it may come to the point where he has to urge Americans to exercise their 1st Amendment right to assemble to protest — by going outside to match on state capitals. Democrat lock-downers cannot be allowed to destroy the USA and its Constitution.

Beijington Post punk "Butt" Rucker is the one who got Trump's personal assistant Madeleine Westerhout fired.

Just a young woman who got in "Butt"'s way.

He's a POS.

Seems to me the whole stay inside and social distancing thing is how they think they’re going to force mail-in voting on the entire country, thereby stealing the election through ballot harvesting. If they demand that , which they surely will, we should refuse to the point of revolt.

If they want to play that game then we should offer only to postpone the election until a normal election can be held. Trump stays as president until that can be accomplished.
