...the Tainted Tangerine Traitor actually answer questions. It is malpractice.
I get that in part it is because they want to cover so many topics and do not have time, but that is an editorial decision on their part. I also get that they know going in that he doesn't actually know the answers to the questions and is going to just endlessly deflect so why not move on, but that just lets the idiot off the hook on questions that every American deserves to know if the President of the U.S. has even the slightest clue about. Failure to expose his lies and ignorance on important questions is one reason we find ourselves here.
Healthcare was a good example:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, no. But the subsidies is part of it. We're supposed to spend trillions of dollars to take care of something that-- that is defective. What I'm saying is, we can make it much less expensive for people and give them much better healthcare. And I'd be--
NORAH O'DONNELL: But where is that plan?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --willing to work with the Democrats--
NORAH O'DONNELL: But where is that plan?
Had Norah actually made him answer this question we all know how badly things would have gone. He has no plan and no clue how to "make it much less expensive for people and give them much better healthcare." Nor do Republicans in congress. The perpetually-petulant POS and his lapdogs in congress seem to believe that repealing the ACA is an actual plan that achieves this goal; not just a path back to all of the problems we had in healthcare that led to the imperfect but much-better-than-nothing ACA we ended up with.
But Norah let the mindless rambler off the hook by following up with a question about the damn subsidies and not pressing him on what his actual healthcare plan is.
And the whole thing ended like this:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: And it's a disaster. The same guy that did his museum, which is a total catastrophe, came up with a bad healthcare plan. And for the sake of one vote, we would have had, you know, it's so sad thinking back--
NORAH O'DONNELL: But how-- I guess the question is-- I hear you.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: If we had the vote, that one vote, we would have great healthcare at a much lower cost, and that's what I want. But I don't want to give $1.5 trillion to prisoners and drug dealers and-- and the people that-- that came into our country from mental institutions. What they allowed to come into our country, and we're getting 'em out, but what they allowed to come into our country, Norah, is horrible. So--
NORAH O'DONNELL: I just--
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --ready?
NORAH O'DONNELL: Okay.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We can make it good.
NORAH O'DONNELL: I don't want to get into a back-- too much of a back and forth on this--
That's your damn job NORAH. Do your damn job....
I guess nobody knew that interviewing complete idiots was so complicated....
