McCain was a rhino and one of the worst candidates the Republicans have offered in my time watching American politics . Romney another bad choice . The only worse candidates then these are on the other side of the aisle .

It's possible that you are not familiar with the tweet in question. In the tweet Trump paid tribute to former POW's which is a total contradiction compared to what he has stated concerning McCain, you do know about McCain's stay in Hanoi Hilton right? You're in the know regarding that?

At any rate, here is both Trump's tweet and how he actually feels about former POW's:

Reporters don't have the smarts to play games with Trump? Oh, okay then, you go on believing that.

I ask you, should all questions posed to the President be soft? Should he never face tough questions? Should leaders of nations not be held to the fire at any time, or do you desire a fully state run media?

Back to wiping the floor with reporters with his vast knowledge, here's an example of your man trying to do just that with his "knowing more than anybody" about the city of Seoul, stating that its population was 38 million people.


Yep, he sure wiped up the floor with her. How embarrassed she must have been.
Well checking the geography of South Korea Trump was not that far off . That area of Korea appears as one big city spreading out from Seoul . Like most cities the suburbs tell the rest of the story . 10,000,000 out of 50,000,000 live in Seoul a whole bunch more in its suburbs . And you didn’t show her ask the question or allow a complete response . Selective editing has always been journalists stock in trade .

I think one of the big problems people have with Trump is they assume because he can be rude and boorish he is also stupid...…………..Huge mistake!

Oh I don't think he is a stupid man at all. I have, on more than one occasion, recognized Trump's ability to turn his name into a brand and build on the fortune his father left him. He is also very effective at convincing people he is someone other than who he really is, that takes intelligence, that and a lack of intelligence on the part of his audience but I digress. It's undeniable that he is a very smart man. Do I think some of the things he does and says are stupid? Hell yes I do, but I will be the first to acknowledge that he is a smart man.

You WANT to see a member of the press dragged from the briefing room and locked up?
You WANT to give Donny Dipshit an excuse to ban all but Fox, OANN, and Breitbart "reporters" from White House briefings, in the name of "security?"
Gee, thanks!

Nope, I don't. Did not state that at all. Said that I would like a reporter to rip him a new one, meaning call him out on his BS, stand up to and challenge him, like Jim Acosta did. Remember him? Trump attempted to ban him from the press room after Acosta stood up to him, and Trump failed. Bottom line, Trump already tried to have select media banned from access during a presser. CNN sued and a Trump appointed judge, Timothy Kelly, granted CNN's request to have Acosta's press credentials restored. And the WH backed down.

Talk about selective editing, lol. Trump clearly stated the city of Seoul, clearly.

Did she have to ask the question? Should a question to Trump on any random city begin with a breakdown of that city's demographics? Okay then.

Of course the big unknown in the whole equation, is how much is HIM and how much his handlers and advisors?

Nope, but what does that have to do with my question. Should, if a reporter is asking the President a question relating to any city, first disclose the demographics for that city?

Quiz time. No looking at anyone else's paper now. If someone was to ask you what the population of the city of Surrey is, what would your answer be?

Who knows? Okay pgs, I'll let you back off from answering. It's Good Friday and I'm feeling generous.

Oh I have known for some time That Trump is prone to exaggerate, as much as he is prone to lie.

The city of Seoul large? Well area wise I believe Calgary is larger, please do correct me if I'm mistaken. Numbers wise though yes, their population density is staggering.

I just checked Google maps , the place is one city the width of the peninsula .
