It's all in your perspective. Most people thought any of Trump's "performances" were disgusting, uneducated sounding, ridiculous, and embarrassing. Yet, there was another contingent that clapped and hooped at him like trained circus seals. As they say, there's no accounting for taste.
Mr. MaGoo lied repeatedly, is obviously senile, read answers, was never challenged, took only about 10 pre-scripted questions he had written answers to.
Folks, its all downhill from here....it's going to get much worse.
He's a corrupt liar, who only cares about himself, or he wouldn't put our country in harms way like this. He ignores science by letting hoards of covid-infected illegals into our country, then tries to hide it all by not allowing freedom of the press.
He never addressed any of that.
Our enemies watched it very closely, & they all know we are vulnerable.
This is, without a doubt, the best comment, so far, in this whole thread, and I've read every single post
The USA is in deep ****! We are vulnerable and things will get worse when Magoo gets 25th Amendmented out and spreads her legs takes over!
Press conferences aren’t just about delivery it’s about substance. Trump was more forceful but Biden addressed every question from the press, he wasn’t smooth but he was very forceful and convincing. He’s not Bill Clinton but he did very well.
There were 40 reporters allowed in the room - the 'press conference' lasted 67 minutes.
JoeBama struggled to answer exactly 10 questions in 67 minutes from ONLY 10 Pre-selected 'reporters' who had to submit their questions in advance.
Few people would call that Razzle Dazzle production "every question from the press".
One wonders if he was prepped with the questions in advance, so he could have prepared answers, since he seems to have the reporters numbered in order he likely called on them.
Also where were the obnoxious reporters making negative comments and questions directed at Biden, like they did to Trump?
Exactly. Trump had many impromptu pressers as he was departing via helicopter. He welcomed questions from those that disagreed with him, and relished the debate.
Biden is a milktoast; too afraid to take the hard questions. Sad.
No such thing as a "hard question" for JoeBama, they treat him with kid gloves, he is so fragile.
Politico article from August 2019 - in 8 months, President Trump had done 80 Q & A with the press just at Marine 1 on the White House Lawn. The Media called it "Chopper Talk". I would remind folks that President Trump went to this format for Press Briefings after the horrible rude was the Press Corp treated his Press Secretary.
Trump has stopped 80 times for question-and-answer sessions in departing or returning to the White House aboard Marine One or on the tarmac before getting on or off Air Force One, according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who keeps detailed records of the presidency. Knoller said he found only three occasions in which Obama stopped for such press availabilities in his eight-year tenure. And when Obama spoke to reporters in transit, he tended to use a podium, adding a dash of formality to the press scrum.
Reporters say the shift from a formal process — in which the president or his press secretary call on reporters one-by-one, without knowing what will be asked, and where follow-up questions are expected — diminishes their ability to hold him accountable.
“If he was at a podium, we would be pressing him after he answers the question, we would be correcting him, we would be pointing out discrepancies in previous answers, and we’re not able to do that in the chaotic setting of a departure,” said CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang. “Many times I’ve tried to ask a follow-up question, but he’s already pointed to somebody else.” In interviews with POLITICO, several White House reporters acknowledged that they are pleased with the near-daily access to the president but echoed Jiang’s complaint that the chaotic format doesn’t allow for substantive questions or follow-ups.
Interesting that Russia was never mentioned during this “ Press Conference”.
It may be because this slap in the face of America orchestrated Propaganda Fest should have originated from Russia.
The American Leftist MSM is looking like the old USSR Newspapers of decades ago , and now it has been revived in full living color.
