(1,353 posts)5. How the press can keep a straight face during these pressers..

I'm still waiting for a reporter to ask him straight out how murdering/dismembering a journalist gets a pass as long as money keeps flowing into the U.S. And his properties??

They are not going to give in because 2 and even 6 years is nothing to them. If both our economies get drug down the US voters will reject trump. Their voter will...you get the point.

Similar to his "preparation" to speak with Kim Jong Un:
"I don't think I have to prepare very much," he said. "It's about the attitude. It's about willingness to get things done."
