If I’m talking to my elderly father and he misheard my question and starts rambling, I will interrupt him and repeat my question, specifically the part he missed (in this case “I was asking about the detainees”)… is that just not allowed when a reporter is asking questions?
“Mr.Trump we’re very concerned about the rounding up and the treatment detained people will be facing.”
“Detained, retained, Biden did it. It’s Joe. Joe Biden once had lunch with Stalin, no one talks about that. Big lunch. They said Biden couldn’t eat ham and he said some really nasty stuff about the great Jewish people of… Mr.Israels state. Really bad guy that…”
“Mr.Trump we were discussing the detainees…”
“You know this is a really nasty reporter. Probably the most nasty reporter ever. I won’t say it, shouldn’t say it, but he should be fired. Really nasty like Stalin and that NYC mayor candidate.”
Think the lesson has been learned that Trump will never respond well to such a clarification. By misinterpreting it in the first place he looks “weak”, so he’ll do anything to avoid acknowledging such a flub.
