“You haven’t asked me one fucking positive question,” he said. “All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.”

The president had been asked about whether Mitch McConnell should resign from the Senate because of his health issues. Trump responded by indicating that videos of McConnell struggling were a “disappointment to a lot of Republicans,” before noting that “Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody.” He then exploded, questioning why they were asking about the White House renovations so much, and griping that they hadn’t asked him about Venezuela. Time pointed out that they talked about Venezuela at length earlier in the interview.

“I don’t understand. I’m sitting here. I’ve done all this stuff,” Trump said. “I took the White House and made it beautiful again.”

Here’s a positive question about his deeds that a reporter should ask:

Mr. President, how good did it feel to rape children?

    “Mr President, do you think the world will be better off when you are dead?”

      That question carries the possibility that he’d wiggle out and say something like, “the world would be much diminished without me!”

      Question should eliminate that route by asking something like “what is the most substantial benefit the world will see when you die?”

    It would be fun to answer in a completely deadpan voice “That is correct Mr. President, I have only asked you negative questions, this is because they are the most relevant to your presidency.”

    They should have asked him how much he enjoys getting pounded in the ass by Israel. That is positive.

    It’d make my day if one of the reporters had replied “We’re not all here to kiss your ass, pig boy.”

      I’d laugh if they started taking up mumbling stuff under a cough (but catching it on the microphone for later, unattributed) like “quiet piggy!” and “shut up donnie”.

    I just want to see one of these reporters, or anyone really, break decorum and just go off on this motherfucker to his face. He’s just a big fucking coward when it comes down to it. He just never has to confront it, and that’s a shame.

          I hated Bush’s guts, but I had to admit: that was impressive. Kind of like Wendi Deng thwarting the would-be pie-thrower

          I was actually pretty impressed at his reflexes, TBH. Not that the job really requires it (or it usually doesn’t), but he was pretty nimble there.

          I think donnie would take it full in the face and not even know what happened, since he’s about half-asleep all the time. Dozey donnie, they call him. Everyone’s saying.

        At least Bush was fast enough to dodge it. I’m pretty sure Trump would have a Amberjack logo pressed into his forehead.

      Honestly I’m expecting something supernatural at this point. Maybe he’ll explode into a mass of tentacles on live TV or split his seams and it turns out he was bugs the whole time.

    The problem with ‘flooding the zone with shit’ is that there is an entire zone of shit to be clarified by people who have the job of clarifying shit.
