re: Reporters are garbage

The question was a complete softball intended for Trump to hit a home run. "What do you say to the millions of Americans who might be scared right now?". That's not a gotcha question. It's set up on a fricking tee for him to speak in platitudes about American greatness, resiliency, teamwork, etc.

Instead of offering assurances, he goes off on the reporter for lobbing him a softball?

Exactly. Was going to post the same thing. FFS, people, this was an opportunity for Trump to reassure the people, instead he throws a tantrum. And people applaud this crisis leadership? I know I feel better after seeing that the president is completely unhinged.

The only way it was a 'gotcha' question is if the president can't manage to string together a few coherent sentences. Oh, right...
