Philip Rucker Confronts Trump: ‘Is It Dangerous’ For You To Make People Think They Will Be Safe From the Virus in the Heat?

He's family, no? Nice to see gays fighting back.

I like Phil Rucker. I would have bought his book but at this point I just couldn't stomach reading any more about the Orange Anus. I already know he is an evil POS, it would've just made me more angry.

I like Phil. He used to be a professional ice skater.

How does any right-winger use "triggered" and "snowflake" against a liberal when this fat, orange bitch is the ultimate thin-skinned, giant, cunt baby?

All of these journalists need to stop kissing Trump's fucking ass and just gang on this piece of shit until he cries like the little bitch that he is.

They keep lending him an air of gravitas and legitimacy that he doesn't deserve. Enough with this theater!

R4 It's called projection.

They need to stop dealing with him like he's a normal politician and bully the fuck out of him.

Whoever finally goes “Fuck you, you fat lying little dick piece of shit!” to him will become a millionaire beyond their wildest dreams.

R7, they must have a sadomasochistic streak. They're worried about professional decorum at a time when they know -- and the whole entire world knows -- that he's a dangerous liar and people are dying because of his sociopathic mendacity.

They are too afraid (of losing their jobs) to actually do their jobs. If he is re-elected. They will again be largely at fault.

Phil showed enormous grace and restraint.

My suggestion: Stop covering the motherfucking criminal carnival barker. Trump. These COVID-19 briefings are not briefings at all. They include no news, but instead just repetitious droning interrupted by insults from a lying fraud. They are a smaller version of Trump's hillbilly tallies.

Agree with R5!!!! Enough playing nice . He is a monster and as someone on morning joe pointed out, he is inviting people to their death , REPORTERS: YOU NEED TO CALL OUT THIS POS—// what the hell else can he do which is worse ???? Ok don’t answer that

I have arguments daily cause I think Dems should do a 25th amdmt - he be crazy

Friends day — oh no, we need to focus on Biden getting elected 1. FATASS can do so much damage before election 2, I have no faith in the integrity of our elections

R12 and R13 The Democrats cannot do anything about the 25th Amendment. That would have to be done by the Vice President and the Cabinet (many of whom have not been confirmed by the Senate). At this point, there's no way in hell that bunch would turn on him, even if he took a machine gun and started killing people on 5th Avenue.

He deserves no respect.

[quote] sir,

He is no "sir."

I think I might be going crazy because I cannot stop seeing Trump’s eyes burning out it his head. Every time I see a photo I just see little black coals burning

[quote]I like Phil. He used to be a professional ice skater.

As in Figure Skating? Is there any inforabout his skating career?

Aww, he was a cute little skater:

Rucker was great today, did not back down. I like him a lot.

I love Phil Rucker--he's smart as a whip and doesn't try to HD his femmy voice or affect. I'm surprised Trump didn't just call him a faggot.

I'm pretty sure he did, R20 - after.

Just once...just once I want a reporter to say back to him "and you are a fake president so let's continue on..."

How do they pick these reporters? Does Dotard have no say? If he did, he'd have only FOX and Ann Coulter.

I’m waiting for the Press to be a bit more courageous:

DJT: Are you ready, are you ready..

Reporter: I am, are you ready?

DJT: you are fake news...

Reporter: people are saying that you’re a fake President

DJT: excuse me, excuse me!

Reporter: you’ll be excused after I finish my question and you answer it

DJT: do you know (some detail about the question, typically off-topic or insignificant).

Reporter: I’m here to ask questions. You’re here to answer them. Please do so.

No, r23. He'd have only OAN, Putin-approved Russian press and *specific* shitheads from FOX .

At what point to the WH reporters just give up on the tough questions, not worth the insults from Trump?

Eventually the room will be filled with Blonde Faux Bimbos who will all ask tough questions like "is it hard protecting america?"

R14 He's already killing people on 5th Avenue and beyond - but with gross incompetence rather than a gun.

I LOVE Rucker because he has a somewhat high pitched voice and a mild lisp.

I had a huge crush on a guy who sounded just like Rucker when I was in college. Listening to Rucker makes me remember my crush

I kept mixing him up with Scott Dworkin

It is quite possible to deliver deadly and true responses to the fascist asshole without breaking decorum and press protocol. They still are holding back too much for me, but I'm not there.

Trump's insanity is now accepted by 35%-40% of the voting population and nothing he says is going to change that. So perhaps the journalists feel it is pointless to send up flares every time Trump mouth-shits in public and flings it at reporters.

But the ad hominem attacks are unprecedented and absolutely a breach of plain decency, as well as proof that the fascist asshole now cannot think through an actual answer to anything. He's being propped up by complicit true-believers, cynical greed pigs and political self-aggrandizers. Period. If he were held to accountability in one showing he'd collapse on the spot.

"I'm the president and you're fake news!"

Classy.

"Mr. Trump, wouldn't you agree that fur is murder ... TO CLEAN?"

[quote] R31: But the ad hominem attacks are unprecedented and absolutely a breach of plain decency,

Agreed, though I don’t think Trump can understand the difference between an attack on his policies and an attack on him. So he replies with ad hominem attacks. He’s a “counterpuncher”, as if others aren’t, besides, he often attacks first.

[quote]"I'm the president and you're fake news!"

na-naw-na-nah-na-na!

Why "respectfully"? He has done nothing to be treated with respect. Contempt is what he's earned and what he deserves from the press.
