So the question Kaitlin Collins was trying to ask trump when he berated her for not smiling

[senseandsensibility]

was is the slush fund dead? Well, she didn't call it a slush fund but you get my drift. Anyway, he obviously was triggered by the question so he had to lash out like a two year old and say she had hatred in her eyes because the "border is closed". I mean......

He was desperate not to answer the question, and after his insults all he could manage was "I don't know".

Between that and the fact that Blanche flat out refused to put anything in writing yesterday tells us all we need to know I guess. Dems and the Rs who have been making noise lately need to force this issue or we are going to be stuck with this fund like it or not.

1. But she needs to speak up!

She needs to ask him WHY it makes a difference whether she's smiling or not for him to answer her question, and the other journalists in the room need to back her up. When he moves to another journalist, they need to ask the same question. Make him have a freaking tantrum on live television. He won't be able to contain himself. He would end the conference and walk off.

I know I'm dreaming, but we are actually seeing a few journalists STAND UP against all of this stupid crap, and sooner or later it's going to become clear that the ones NOT standing up are cowards.

2. You spelled it all out perfectly

She doesn't even have to be rude, as your suggested response proves. Just stand up for yourself. As far as the rest of the journalists go, apparently, they don't believe in supporting each other. They've proven that time and again.

3. Thank you, sense!

No, they should never be rude because that will give him ammunition. But if any of them dared to question him, he would absolutely have a fit on live television. I picture him storming off yelling obscenities and throwing something - and WE need those sound bites!!!!

4. I've always wanted them to give it back. Or laugh at the insult. He'd HATE that

When Norah O'Donnell interviewed him & he said "you're just terrible youre the worst" (or something to that effect) she shouldve just laughed & said "yeah I' the worst!" & then repeated the question
