This was one of the most entertaining things I have ever seen him do.

If you pay attention, he both tears off the microphone, throws it on the ground, and even stops on it as he waddles out.

What a fucking baby.

I heard he was crying, many people are saying it

[-] adarza@piefed.ca 30 points 6 hours ago

that or his diaper started leaking.

[-] homes@piefed.world 11 points 5 hours ago

I don’t think he’s capable of crying. But he was definitely sweating so much, that it certainly appeared that way. Also, he was so fucking red, you could see it through his orange spray paint!

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

10 years too late for this, but better late than never. That was funny as shit. He such an absolute fraud (and pedophile, don’t forget that) and our fearless republican congress let this happen (don’t forget that either).

A funny question would have been to have him detail the end-to-end lifecycle of a California ballot. Then he could enlighten the world where in that process it all becomes fraudulent. It means a lot more than us, or worse yet - him, “just looking at it”.

His words are just a waste of calories. His existence should serve only as an example to current and future generations. And, finally, his grave as both a monument to greed, cowardice and negligence of duty. …Oh, and a urinal, naturally.

"our country can never be great."

His opponents will have a field day with that soundbite. It won't change any minds, but they'll have fun with it nonetheless.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 48 points 6 hours ago

At this point no reporter should ever take Trump seriously. All questions should be about his smaller than average hands or his academic struggles. Things like why he is attracted to prepubescent girls or how come he sleeps with porn stars while his wife is pregnant at home alone. You know, just the real things.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

100%

What's left of his life on camera should be a humiliation ritual. But not the kind he likes.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

And the interviewer he was crashing out at was a woman? What a surprise!

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 54 points 6 hours ago

I'm just glad someone kept pressing him instead of just nodding along with the senile bigot and getting to his next round of ballroom talk. Certainly gives more trust in this reporter.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 23 points 5 hours ago

She did a great job. She could have pushed harder, rebutted a few things, defended herself stronger, but it was a chaotic situation, and she was trying to remain professional in the face of that entire circus happening in front of her.

She handled it far better than ANY journalist I've seen so far. I hope this emboldens others to push harder on him, as well as his henchmen, and call out their nonsense and propaganda every time. I think many in the media is going to get downright disrespectful after the Midterms, which they deserve.

Bullying MAGAs is not only allowed, it's Patriotic.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 31 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's about fucking time someone did.

Kristen Welker has more balls than half the rest of the media put together.

[-] homes@piefed.world 2 points 5 hours ago

He ran over her like a speed bump, but like a dump truck at 90 miles an hour, it launched him so high into the air. It flipped him backwards, and he landed on his back and exploded INTO A GIGANTIC FIREBALL THAT EVERYONE GOT TO SEE

LMFAO

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 hours ago

This is a lovely visual. Someone should animate it.

[-] homes@piefed.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I’m sure I’ve seen it as a gif before, and I honestly spent a while looking for it, but I just couldn’t find it. Sorry.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago

He is such an embarrassment.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 5 hours ago

The entire thing was a classic example of MAGA incompetence. He wanted to make some point about farmers, so they set up in a metal pole barn in Wisconsin, with John Deere equipment and hay bales in the background. Surely Trump has recently bumped up his stake in Deere, one of America's most evil corporations.

Then it pours rain on a metal roof, on a metal building, because instead of having the best PR people on the job, they have MAGA PR people, which means they are incompetent by definition.

So he's already yelling to be heard over the hammering rain, getting impatient, and since he has all the emotional control of a billionaire toddler, all he can do is lash out like the bully he is at his core. I found that last move, where he grasped her shoulder, to be extremely weird. If he hadn't been on camera, he would have been beating her.

MAGA fucked this up, AGAIN, and so he never got to make his point with farmers, only highlighting that his big contribution to farmers was a bail-out for literally destroying the soybean industry in America during his first administration, which still hasn't recovered.

All that effort, and all it did was make Trump look stupid, angry, lying, menacing, bullying, demented, and worse. I watched it live on NBC, but later that evening I watched coverage of it on ABC. You know you've fucked up when the footage is so juicy that even the competition promotes it!

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

I saw that shoulder grasp as him trying to balance himself and her being the only object he could use. Y'know, because he's OLD, FRAIL, WEAK, and should be DYING in a NURSING HOME.

[-] _wizard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Only want to point out that if we're reviewing evil farm equipment corporations, I'd plant my flag on Caterpillar. Check into who supplies the IDF their demo equipment.

[-] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 hours ago

And the morons will praise him for it. Saying something like "Fuk yea you tell them there fake news illuminati scum drain the swamp!" While whistling through his remaining teeth in his trailer park.

Meanwhile their MAGA "Messiah" literally is associated with a pedo trafficker that has ties to people that literally control the world with solid evidence... Make it make fucking sense!

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 hours ago

time for somebodys nap

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

He is not in charge of a goddamn thing except his crypto rug pulls and other self enriching scams

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

They’re gonna give him a stroke one day…

MORE INTERVIEWS YALLL

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Can we send Roy Wood Jr or an equivalent comedian to do interviews now? Ya know, someone who will tell him to stop being a bitch.

[-] Wizard1@suppo.fi 3 points 5 hours ago

That he had to lean on the reporter he was berating, while trying to run away from was priceless!

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Meta: what do the website mean with "I'm out of free articles" when there's an ad break every single sentence?

[-] iknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.app 2 points 4 hours ago

I didn't see a single ad. I recommend getting an ad blocker!

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago
[-] radiouser@crazypeople.online 2 points 2 hours ago

So out of character! (lol).

[-] numlok@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

He really pulled off that "pimple in a sauna" look perfectly!

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

He probably needed to shit and had to find a way to leave quickly.

[-] emmanuel_car@k.fe.derate.me 1 points 3 hours ago

Why not shit on camera again?

[-] rouxdoo@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago

This is an unpopular take, but as he exited his interview with Welker he placed a very platonic hand against her shoulder (gently, not creepy as you would expect), amost as an apology or acknologment of her efforts after her admittedly aggressive questioning of him.

I found this to very out of character for him and wonder if anyone else noticed it?

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

He leaned on her when trying to run away, because he is a rotten old corpse of a man who cannot stand up on his own. He used her as an object of support when fleeing from the difficult questions, that is all.

You are reading something in it which definitely isn't there, and it is particularly insane that you would read "apology" as part of his behaviour. He has never once apologised in his entire life, nor felt the need to do so.

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

I thought it was belittling and patronising.

[-] alanjaow@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Would it have seemed the same if the reporter was a guy?

[-] kibblebits@quokk.au -1 points 6 hours ago

It’s illegal to talk about his assassination. Don’t do it.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 8 points 6 hours ago

When can we talk about his execution?

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

That part comes after the trial, during the sentencing phase

[-] kibblebits@quokk.au 0 points 5 hours ago

Trial, you sweet summer child ;) he’s going to die in office of old age, at 93. Let that sink in.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago
[-] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 3 hours ago

Well, keep dreaming if it makes you happy, but if you’re not a white Christian Trump voter there’s a not small chance the last thing you see will be Martha Stuart’s face painted on the wall of a repurposed K-Mart that is now a concentration camp.
