The man asked a simple question. Blaming? Shaming? No. He asked what Trump would say to assure Americans. As usual, he's got nothing.
That's not what he said.
What he actually did say is a rhetorical question, and a rhetorical question is a statement.
It's a statement with an, "Is it possible that" added to dress it up like a question, but that doesn't make it any less of a statement.
"Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of hope and misrepresenting preparedness right now?"
A reporter asks what the President wants to say to Americans who are scared and the President personally attacks the guy --- and you blame the media for bringing it to something else.
Trump is rough around the edges and thinks he knows more that the medical experts because he has a feeling about something.
The rough edges would be humorous and tolerable if the latter part of that statement was not so scary and pathetic.
Trump has no clue what he doesn't know and clearly some of his supporters don't either.
"Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of hope and misrepresenting preparedness right now?"
This is not a question.
It's a rhetorical question and all rhetorical questions are statements pretending to be questions.
A professional journalist should never say something like this.
Again, in no way was this reporter's question an attack. Really, people. It was a simple question that Trump just couldn't answer without attacking the messenger. Very, very sad this state of affairs. So you applaud a president who goes on the attack when asked to assure the American people in the time of a crisis. Nice.
You keep referring to what he said as a question.
It was not a question.
It was a statement dressed up as a question.
"Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of hope and misrepresenting preparedness right now?"
If you think Americans elected trump to be politically correct, it actually reflects poorly on your understanding of politics.
Oh, we know why y'all elected him. There is a calibre of American that thinks being rude and insulting people to "put them in their place" is a sign of personal power.
It isn't.
That this even has to be said on a forum of adults is incredible.
