Trump needs to be asked a "gaslight" style question. Like.

Mr. President, "Do you support the export deal to export aubergine to Crete considering the nuclear ramifications?"

Mr. President, "With North Korea launching missiles over the Pacific, do you expect retaliation from the island country of Grand Fenwick?"

Mr. President, "Where does your administration stand on defibrillation?"

These aren't gotcha questions but non questions which I bet Orange Jesus would attempt to answer.

Like that mistaken news report from WW2, "Germany Takes Umbrage" when the reporter thought that "Umbrage" was a city. Ask, "Mr Prezident, Germany has taken umbrage! What do you plan to do about it?"

"Mr. President, do you support the proposed sale of crenelated R-582 depilatory launchers to South Cloaca?"

"Mr. President, do you think iodized sodium chloride should be legal for personal use?"

"Mr. President, do you think the United States should exclude refugees from Hohenzollern-Hechingen?"

What we need are a couple of journalists to take a bullet (so to speak, as in expose him for who he is and expect to be fired, they could then be hired by a liberal rich person somewhere) for the human race.

Call him out for the person he is, any business related question will do it, he knows nothing about business.

Does double-entry bookkeeping unnecessarily add work to an accountant's responsibilities?

Who doubts that he would try to bullshit his way through that one?

just because of that article that stated that Richard Spencer said he would never talk bad about them


There are so many gottcha questions and it pisses me off when all I see is softball ones.

As a follow-up, Mr. President, President Firefly of Freedonia has expressed an interest in purchasing nuclear weapons and delivery systems from Russia. If he in fact does turn Freedonia into a nuclear nation, what should the United States' response be?
