    “Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”

    Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.

    Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?

      Hey maybe he was just happy until he heard the first question?

      Or until he realized that he was at the NABJ convention rather than NAMBLA.

        He saw the BJ part of their associations name and assumed there’d be a12y/o to service him. Him getting upset and hostile is perfectly reasonable, considering how he was misled.

      I’m no Trump apologist, but I have to admit that I do very much like the act of looking a journalist in the eye and calling them out for bad-faith behavior and bullshit arguments to their face.

      Of course, the journalists were 100% justified and in-line in this case, and Trump is a well-practiced bullshitter who’s flailing.

      But wow, wouldn’t it be grand if someone with progressive bona fides acted like that…
