It's the heinous MO of a narcissist to throw all the papers in the air then lurk in the middle of chaos smirking while the dummies scramble to pick them up. You would be doing a great service to the country to get together with other "dazed" reporters and stand up as one to ask him WTF out loud.

WTF? You know exactly WTF, it’s the same as always. Is there anyone stupid enough to have expected a non-chaotic coherent administration?

bermudababe76.bsky.social•27 days ago

These journalists who say this privately but sanewash publicly can all to go hell.

wvpirate.bsky.social•27 days ago

We need reporters to express their feelings also, if he looks ands acts loco say so.

hahnyock.bsky.social•27 days ago

devon123.bsky.social•27 days ago

Often times it is the editors who scrub the reporters’ words of anything that could offend the right:

sooty4472.bsky.social•27 days ago

The least they could do is stand up and boo the actors off the stage

sooty4472.bsky.social•27 days ago

Why does the press corp not get up and walk out, nobody forces them to be there. Access ? access to what ? liars with lies parroted from the dais every day. It's all just theatre and the 'press corp' is the audience.

sooty4472.bsky.social•27 days ago

Further; what was once a prestigious sought after assignment to put on your resume 3 weeks ago, is while 47 inhabits the office of President becomes journalists who are hand picked and assigned seats. A 'press briefing' morphs into a class room controlled by the dais. Raise your hand please

mdnature.bsky.social•27 days ago

25th Amendment- just look at him, hear what he says, listen to how he slurs; he’s deranged. Does any family member or staff recognize that he is seriously mentally unstable?

bnat4.bsky.social•27 days ago

Curious if that same reporter reported why they felt that way. That’s what we need to hear.

Um we all knew that since 2015 and before…

xiruxi.bsky.social•27 days ago

Instead of texting WTF to each other, why not say it out loud to Trump and his goons. Oh right, because the media are doormats for Republicans.

rushstreetblues.bsky.social•27 days ago

WTF doesn't cut it. How about asking Trump why he's lying? The Press needs to call out Trump every time he spews lies. Trump will say horrible things to the reporter that calls him out, but hold the line and then report fact checks once the presser, or impromptu gathering, is over. #SaveAmerica

kerryreid.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh, but didn't we JUST read about how the WHPC was so excited to have him back because they thought Biden's team was "elitist" and boring or whatever?

radioman49.bsky.social•27 days ago

That's basically everyday actually

dkleinman.bsky.social•27 days ago

jameswillby.bsky.social•27 days ago

You sanewashed him and told the American people Biden was demented while pushing GOP talking points. You are going to get no sympathy, from anyone.

kimcalderwoodia.bsky.social•27 days ago

Then call it as you see it. It isn’t normal, and it won’t be. Say so ffs.

mike-bsky.bsky.social•27 days ago

What i wouldn’t give for one person in that room to tell him that he is lying. Just one, once.

amynewsmith.bsky.social•27 days ago

I would contribute to a crowdfund to incentivize multiple reporters to do so in the same press conference.

mike-bsky.bsky.social•27 days ago

I just want one person to call it out. Jonathan pats himself on the back for realizing that what is going on is insane. Would be nice if someone in there gave voice to that, just once.

Those of you in the room need to stop treating him like someone meriting respect: it’s time you all stood up and told him to his face that he’s full of shit and no one with two brain cells and a functioning moral compass feels anything but contempt for him. We can’t get close enough to do that …

girinero.bsky.social•27 days ago

corvid.bsky.social•27 days ago

It should not be a shock to anyone, especially a seasoned news reporter, that Donald Trump lies.
Tell it like it is. It's not hard.

nightshades101.bsky.social•27 days ago

He read statements off a piece of paper that he, himself, didn’t understand. He said it was Obama’s, Joe’s, and the fault of DEI. The man is sick in the head. We’re 10 days into the term and it’s already all kinds of fucked up.

mbdeitz.bsky.social•27 days ago

The press has got to push back and challenge his lies.

realchrispeterson.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is exactly who he was during the campaign. He spent at least two events just wandering around lost for several minutes. This is why we hate the national political press.

thom-kingsfan11.bsky.social•27 days ago

It was the day when Trump reminded people why they despise him.

greg-ynwa1.bsky.social•27 days ago

It’s wild, Jonathan. I mean who could have possibly imagined he would say outrageous, deranged, dishonest, divisive things?!

axwphart2023.bsky.social•27 days ago

Please make him go away.

curiouskev.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is not going to end well for America and an even worse version of Trump who is angrier and crazier.

loudwhisperer.bsky.social•27 days ago

Most of us said it out loud. It spontaneously happens after Trump speaks.

matthematics.com•27 days ago

It’s okay, once the WH press corps is replaced by podcasters and fitness influencers no one will be bewildered anymore

ppu512.bsky.social•27 days ago

So, I have questions about the Atlantic being a steaming pile of shit when covering Trump before the election.

Was it all just for the clicks now and then?

aliceinkeynes.bsky.social•27 days ago

Why do they seem so unhappy with this new epoch they strove so mightily and sabotaged Biden and Harris so dauntlessly for?

sydney843.bsky.social•27 days ago

We are stuck at home; we don’t have a seat in that room. If we did, we would call him out. If you’re afraid of being banned from the room, give up your seat, you don’t deserve it.

The way the no-guts, soft ball only questions reporters cover him is why he is president.

scottgoeke.bsky.social•27 days ago

…but their next text was probably:

“Goddamn this is so much more exciting!!!”

easterbrooksj.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah, but most of those reporters will go away and provide magnificently sanewashed reporting about the news conference and most Americans will never know what really happened.

tree-05.bsky.social•27 days ago

I just watched NBC nightly and I was shocked Lester was willing to report some of the fucked up stuff he said.

catmama64.bsky.social•16 days ago

Lester Holt is a corporate media bootlicker like the major of them.

catmama64.bsky.social•16 days ago

*majority

cornstarch.bsky.social•25 days ago

And they get re-paid by getting kicked out of their office in the Pentagon.

adambstrassberg.bsky.social•26 days ago

I watched it for the first time in decades recently and concur

emmowens.bsky.social•27 days ago

Like how they never revealed Barron lived in Maryland, and Melania most likely wasn't at the White House 7 days a week

bettyfastcat1.bsky.social•27 days ago

Confront him. He’s addicted to the camera. He WILL NOT stay away from it. Call him out. You wanted him back in there so deal with it.

beth-greatpnw.bsky.social•27 days ago

The reporter shoulda stood up and said it

evodevo1.bsky.social•26 days ago

I have to ask: "Dazed"? Where have these reporters been for the last decade? Of COURSE he did this - he's a narcissistic sociopath hellbent on becoming a dictator. They haven't figured this out yet? The MAGAts elected him to "shake things up"... they don't care (until it hurts THEM)

shuffleosint.bsky.social•27 days ago

If any journo is surprised then they're genuinely terrible at their job. Actual incompetence.

tresahorney.bsky.social•27 days ago

But hey now you’re having fun right? https://www.forbes.com/sites/andymeek/2021/07/17/journalists-keep-complaining-biden-is-too-boring-translation-trump-is-more-fun-to-write-about/

happiness22.bsky.social•27 days ago

When he became Un-President?
Seriously???

juandefuca.bsky.social•27 days ago

he is mad at his gang. That's how he projects it in his public statements. Keep the questions going :)

mconcagh.bsky.social•27 days ago

There aren’t enough media layoffs.

caio.highlyunlikely.net•27 days ago

It is sad but it is just the beginning.

ramones2024.bsky.social•27 days ago

He’s gross because you and your fellow “journalists” enabled him.

grabarr.bsky.social•27 days ago

Maybe, just maybe push back at his utter bullshit and racist garabge.

salentz.bsky.social•27 days ago

Did Democratic leaders hold a press conference to rebuke his vileness and nonsense? Where are they?

thrillhouse512.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is a genuine question: Why are journalists texting each other "WTF?" and not literally asking the President "what the fuck are you talking about?"

lmarshallh.bsky.social•27 days ago

This!! They Are Useless! They’re Afraid to Ask Him Anything Or Call Him Out On Anything!? And the Ones that Have Like Jim Acosta?,, Fired!! Fing Disgusting!

chaplainjohn.medsky.social•27 days ago

Also, "We're so back!"???

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

thrillhouse512.bsky.social•26 days ago

chaplainjohn.medsky.social•26 days ago

He is going to break something. Something important. People will be harmed and maybe die.

And these assholes are still mad at Biden's quiet competence.

thrillhouse512.bsky.social•26 days ago

"Biden's not giving us batshit crazy unhinged content to write about. Guess we just have to keep obsessing about how old and senile he is."

seanmac31.bsky.social•27 days ago

Just a shocking lack of adversarial instincts in our political press.

soonergrunt.bsky.social•26 days ago

Just a shocking lack of adversarial instincts in our political press *where Trump is concerned*
There, I fixed it.

seanmac31.bsky.social•26 days ago

No, it goes considerably beyond that.

tigertiggyandt.bsky.social•27 days ago

I agree! When he doesn't answer questions & starts spewing lies, they should all leave. They won't, but they should. It is maddening that they don't 😤

heavenisabeach.bsky.social•27 days ago

YES! And why are any of them still calling them "falsehoods"? They are LIES. Call them what they are. The Liar is speaking lies at his press conference. See how easy that is?

thrillhouse512.bsky.social•27 days ago

"If we lose access then we can't do our jobs"
Ok but you are not doing your jobs WITH access, so what are we even doing here?

hrryan.bsky.social•27 days ago

They are not real journalists. They are more like "influencers" shilling for a product.

liabelle.me•26 days ago

I’m truly dazed that these journalists are still capable of having dazed expressions after years of sane-washing of that man.

If only they had the courage or even remember what journalists were supposed to do— as Amanpour says:

“Our job is to be truthful not neutral”

hrryan.bsky.social•26 days ago

"I am shocked, shocked to find that Trump is insane"

thrillhouse512.bsky.social•27 days ago

Seriously, why are you still approaching this like it is normal? Its not and it is your jobs to call it out.

kerryreid.bsky.social•26 days ago

But they need "access" for their Gossip Girl memoirs.

lawfulkimpasse.bsky.social•27 days ago

they are unwilling to lose access

melbeast.bsky.social•27 days ago

Emperor’s new clothes scenario

anchusa.bsky.social•27 days ago

“Don’t give in to the fear, don’t give in to the lies”. J. Acosta

anchusa.bsky.social•27 days ago

Gawd, if only!!!!!

jenashton.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes, yes, who could possibly have seen this coming. So out of character. Such unprecedented behaviour.

bellboy905.bsky.social•27 days ago

He’ll transform into a guy whose boots the press can be proud to lick. Any day now!

mamamontasaki.bsky.social•27 days ago

Reeeeeeaaaalllly could have used more of this from your fellow journalists before the election.

sondeerrf.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don’t believe their “shocked face”. They wanted this spectacle. Treat them like someone sitting of the front row of Gallagher routine shocked as they left covered in watermelon juice.

mamamontasaki.bsky.social•27 days ago

Apt comparison, I like it.

capspring.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'd love to read the whole article. But paywalls.

donlinn.bsky.social•27 days ago

WTF just happened is you guys got steamrolled with bullshit without pressing him to answer direct questions and follow-ups. Everyone's going to up their game and work together to expose and then report not just his words but what he's really saying.

nailsthetabaxi.bsky.social•27 days ago

Anyone surprised he acted this way must be surprised when the Day Star goes away and equally shocked when it comes back the next morning.

mgocoder.bsky.social•27 days ago

Maybe if the press hadn't fluffed Trump for the whole campaign and instead had reported on his obvious depravity we wouldn't be stuck in this insane abuse loop.

iammrboring.bsky.social•27 days ago

angstlos.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is the president they all spent four years helping to put into power. They only have themselves to blame.

johno5.bsky.social•27 days ago

Have y’all forgotten about 2017-2020? Journalists seem surprised and totally unprepared to respond to the lies, attacks, racism, incompetence, misdirections, and bullying. Why? You’ve had years to prepare.

heidirosalee.bsky.social•27 days ago

Despicable man

doomforpresident.bsky.social•27 days ago

But the actual story they file will say "Trump demonstrates virile passion in fiery press conference" so who gives a crap.

septimushodge.bsky.social•27 days ago

Then he or she will write an article saying Trump 'projected strength' at the event.

spectaculardl.bsky.social•27 days ago

And who called him out on the blatant lies?? Who challenged him?! Cowards

smullins3000.bsky.social•27 days ago

The sub-head of the article sounds surprised.

Are you surprised?

janetea4.bsky.social•27 days ago

Interesting because WTP have been asking the WTF questions about the real intent of some Journalists currently reporting on him.

yimmysue.bsky.social•27 days ago

Disgusting thought for a very sick situation...
How would Trump behave if this plane had 14 top amateur golfers on board ?
