Trump Melts Down, Flees Female Reporters' Questions


Having temporarily abandoned his briefings mini- rallies designed to make him look like a "wartime president" managing the Federal coronavirus effort -- but which had the effect of showcasing him as a pathological liar and a dangerous fount of deadly misinformation -- malignant nitwit Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump was back yesterday afternoon.  The focus was going to be showing, as the Mission Accomplished- style banners flanking him blared, that "America Leads The World In Testing." Perhaps he was feeling the need to respond to coverage of the chaotic failures and cronyism endemic to his regime's coronavirus testing bungling and buck- passing.  Whatever the reason, the result was another epic disaster for the Giant Toddler.

After reading dully from a script (with the usual ad lib embellishments extolling everything Trump as best/ biggest/ most successful, etc.), several flunkies ran through a dog- and- pony show that cherry- picked data showing the U.S. had conducted the most tests of any country. (True!  Maybe because we have the most confirmed cases by far of any country, over 25% of those in the world with only 4% of the world's population.  Also the most deaths.  We're Number One!)  But we're nowhere near testing the minimum 3 million Americans a day that experts say should be tested -- that's the states' problem thanks to Trump!  The Trump regime is, of course, testing those essential workers at the White (Supremacist) House every single damn day, though.

Then came time for the press to ask questions.  You could almost hear the sphincter's snapping tight among Trump's assembled bootlicks, misfits and COVID-19 vectors, as several reporters at yesterday's mini- rally weren't afraid to call him on his deceptive back- patting.  Did we say "reporters"?  We meant truth warriors Weijia Jiang and Kaitlan Collins, female reporters who weren't going to take Trump's guff, and stood up to him like bosses.  In the process, we got to see Trump's racism and misogyny laid bare:

It's no surprise that #TrumpMeltdown and #RacistInChief were both trending on social media after the debacle.

What an unfit, childish moron to be in the most powerful office in the world, part infinity.
