You act like Trump is the ONLY politician that lies.

They all do! Just as bad! Lying to the public is a skill required of every politician running for public office!

Except every politician is not the President of the United States. Sure, the President is a human and humans are not perfect but you expect more moral fiber from the President. Trump is amoral as they come. If he didn't have an amoral party backing him up, he would have already been gone.

If reporters asked Obama that question, we’d have liberals screaming racist! Yet here they are, cheering on an obnoxious reporter.

P.S. Biden’s handlers won’t even allow reporters to ASK a question. They just have him fumble through reading someone else’s words, and then hustle him off the stage before he speaks for himself.

Trump's poise is off the charts. This exchange is another example of Trump being the most confident human being on the face of the earth and probably in the history of earth.

I will applaud this question when I hear a reporter ask Biden why he deserves to be President after serving the public for 40 years and accomplishing nothing.

Both are disrespectful, unfortunately only one party is asked these types of questions.

So true. Both ARE disrespectful. That's the thing being missed here. The complete lack of decorum from the reporters. If the President is lying, then that can be made apparent by writing a factual article, free of malice, vitriol, and emotion. It's easy to refute a lie. Just print the truth. But instead these reporters act like children, lowering the bar every day. And they will never behave like this to Democrats, no matter what the Democrats say or do.

And there it is. Trump supporters never disappoint. Took about 20 minutes. I guess the bat signal was visible for miles around.

But HOW many have freely admitted their own attempts to interfere with an election as well as putting their own hypocrisy on full display by requesting mail-in ballots while decrying vote by mail as horribly corrupt?

However, Trump supporters will come in here and claim he was cool under pressure or some such nonsense. Whatever helps them sleep at night. I'm sure millions of Americans have to wonder why mail-in balloting is ok for Trump but not for them. There's some lie they will happily believe.

My life might be so much simpler if I was as deliberately obtuse as some people.
Why would he lower himself to answer that puerile question. It wasn't asked to illicit a response. It was asked so deranged leftists would say nonsense like "look he didn't even defend himself".....

Where have you been for the last 3.5 years? Trump's nonsense started on Day 1 (if not before his election). His administration stuck to the story that the inauguration had the most attendees ever. Reporters ultimately let it slide because it is stupid thing to argue about. They pointed out the lie and the administration kept pushing it anyway.

Everyday, reporters refute the lies by printing factual articles. Eventually, when those are ignored by the administration, vitriol is used to get attention to the problem.
