The Trump campaign said that Trump just waves his arms around a lot when he speaks.

Bullshit

Showing how Trump was worse is a losing battle.

She was demeaned and dismissed on more than one occasion for asking pertinent, intelligent questions.

But the most charged moment of the press conference was when Yamiche Alcindor, the White House correspondent for PBS Newshour and a former reporter for The New York Times, asked the president why he had recently said that some state governors might not need as much medical equipment as they had requested from the federal government to fight the frighteningly rapid spread of COVID-19. [snip]

"Come on, come on," said Trump said, cutting her off again. "You know, why don't you people act — why don't you act in a little more positive — it's always trying to getcha, getcha."

Alcindor tried to ask the question again, but the president continued, "And you know what, that's why nobody trusts the media anymore." He added: "Look, let me tell you something. Be nice. Don't be threatening."

As Alcindor continue to press the president, he turned toward another reporter and a White House aide came over to Alcindor and snatched the microphone from her hand.

President Donald Trump attempted to silence then angrily demeaned Yamiche Alcindor, a Black female reporter, on Friday when she pressed him on rising unemployment figures for Black and Asian workers.

The put-down occurred after Trump crowed in a Rose Garden statement about a better-than-expected 13.3% unemployment figure for the nation in May. The president shockingly claimed that it was a “great day” for George Floyd — the Black man a white police officer killed last month in Minneapolis — because he would be pleased “looking down” at the jobs stats. [snip]

When Alcindor, who works for PBS, asked the president to explain how he plans to address systemic racism in the country, he held a finger to his lips, then seconds later said: “A strong economy.”

When she asked how worsening jobless figures for Asians and Blacks were “a victory,” as Trump had claimed, he shook his head angrily and told her: “You are something else.”


Good grief, it's such a relief that he's gone.

They are all screaming that Biden "attacked the free and fair press." Which is beyond laughable. It's their same, old shit: Project, distort, deflect, hyper-exaggerate to whip their cult into another frenzy. Same shit, different day.
