If any other president gave a press conference like this

[stevil]

There would be calls for resignation. Why does he get away with this. Daily.

[Trenzalore]

1. Because 30% of our population is close to being nazis.

[vapor2]

12. I think they are already there. Just sayin'

[agingdem]

2. because it's all about ratings and the bottom line

and covering the orange idiot makes them money...and when the orange idiot insults a reporter it hits social media and the networks make more money...

[handmade34]

3. get that destructive liar off stage

[stevil]

4. He called the Lebanon explosion an attack

We don't know it was.

15. Let's not die on that hill. I realize Trump is disgusting, but reflexive resistance to his claims

can be counter-productive on our part.

Unless an ammonium nitrate plant exploded, it was a bomb attack, the only question then is which group was responsible. A metric ton plus of ammonium nitrate isn’t normally in a small area, unless it is in a plant that makes and store the stuff, or in a very large bomb.

5. Because current Republicans are the most morally corrupt politicians in American history.

[msongs]

6. its a campaign rally not a press conference. shows how stupid is american media to cover it nt

[tanyev]

7. Because the Republican party has betrayed the country.

[maxsolomon]

8. How, not why.

1. It is not a Press Conference. He's there to lie, not to engage in any sort of good faith effort to respond to questions.
2. They've fixed the Press Corp to include friendly partisan outlets like OANN, which disrupts any sustained efforts at follow up questions.
3. Post-Impeachment, it is naïve to expect anything but Impunity from this White House.

[a kennedy]

9. Whew, sooooooooooooooo happy I didn't see it.

[SharonClark]

10. I totally agree with comments 1 thru 7.

[vapor2]

11. I ask this question every. single. day

[mnmoderatedem]

13. "If any other president"

oh wow. That is a thread that could have a record number of replies.

[Blue_true]

14. Because TV News has become a profit center and print News is all but dead.

Add to that, any reporter or cable tv host that call him out for his lying immediately gets thousands of death threats from QAnon zombies. It take courage by the tiny number of reporters that called him out from the beginning, one on CNN and a couple from Urban Radio. It has become more popular to fact check him now that many Americans know him better, but in the beginning only two or three had that courage.

[budkin]

16. Because MAGA

I'm serious.

[FloridaBlues]

17. We have to notify cable networks and complain not to air

They stopped early on during pandemic when ratings dropped let's do this again
Stop watching.
