Don Winslow: White House Press Should Try This Next Time Trump Lies

Bestselling author Don Winslow, a persistent critic of President Donald Trump, has a suggestion for the White House press corps. The next time Trump lies, interrupt him and demand the truth.

If Trump tries to move on to someone else to duck the question, the next person should take up the same line of questioning.

And that’s not the only recommendation Winslow has for the media:

Reporters ask a question, and then don’t ACTIVELY listen to what he says. They are already thinking of a prescribed follow-up.

Try the 5 Ws in ANY follow up when he tells a lie

Who said that?
When did that happen?
What proof do you have?
Where is the evidence of that?
Why are you lying about (fill in the blank)?
