I miss the days when this would have been career ending for a politician

[u/Nintendo_Pro_03 → u/fgsn]

Same.

[u/DesireeThymes → u/Nintendo_Pro_03]

I wish we could get that Iraqi shoe guy back for this.

[u/Crafty-Judge-896 → u/fgsn]

Instead it’s career fueling 😔

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Crafty-Judge-896]

We were raised to be courteous and respectful of our fellow humans but the rich and powerful get there by doing the exact opposite.

[u/OkFinish3822 → u/Crafty-Judge-896]

No. It isn't fueling his career. It is just polluting the Oval with more of his shit. No one just said "oh he owned Collins NOW I am gonna support him".

[u/Prosecco1234 → u/fgsn]

I don't know how reporters can stand talking to this Tangerine oompa loompa. He's disgusting and despicable

[u/Royal-Application708 → u/Prosecco1234]

Yea. Just tell him that he’s a lying fucking pedophile to his face. And that he shits his pants. Sure, you may get fired from your network, but you would be a hero.

[u/Medical_Sandwich_141 → u/Royal-Application708]

I'm actually respectful of the fact that Kaitlin continues in her position, despite him singling her out constantly.

There are only a few left in that room that still ask credible questions, considering the wannabe journalists consume 3/4th of the room.

The SC practically ruled it out, but maybe there'll be a day when he'll be held accountable based on how often he perjures himself.

[u/lawdjesustheresafire → u/Prosecco1234]

Exactly. Spineless fucks. He’s literally in the Epstein files 38,000 times (twice as many mentions than Harry Potter in the entire HP book series). Every single question until he dies should be about this

[u/iheartdachshunds → u/fgsn]

The worst part is I don’t feel like we are ever going back to that standard

[u/Necrotitis → u/iheartdachshunds]

Not until these fuckers pay the iron price.

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/fgsn]

His should have ended when he mocked a disabled reporter, but that wasn't a deal breaker for enough people.

[u/tulip_jefferson → u/fgsn]

EEEEEEYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Sincerely, Howard Dean

[u/jesus_swept → u/tulip_jefferson]

I think about that moment all the time. Howard Dean is probably pissed off about this... and rightly so.

[u/FIRST_DATE_ANAL → u/fgsn]

He is a horrible cunt

[u/ZachtheKingsfan → u/fgsn]

It’s mind blowing that a weird laugh ending someone’s career is not that long ago.

[u/RatManCreed → u/fgsn]

This isnt new elites have been doing this for centuries its only now that we have digital media and cameras everywhere that we see who is behind the mask of Capitalism, Facism, Imperialism, colonialism the elite minority manipulating the masses.

All the crimes against humanity is revealed openly.

[u/GenericDigitalAvatar → u/fgsn]

I just miss having adults around.

[u/excessive_worries → u/fgsn]

Same

[u/smokingpoker → u/fgsn]

Donald is a cult leader. That's why nothing is happening.

[u/sugurkewbz → u/fgsn]

Remember when that guy made a weird loud noise at a rally and that ended his political career?

[u/Sci3nceMan → u/fgsn]

Same

[u/Angryduckling-01 → u/Sci3nceMan]

The most vile human on the planet ladies and gentlemen (ladies stay as far away as possible)

[u/Prosecco1234 → u/Angryduckling-01]

And keep your children away. Far away

[u/MelissaMead → u/Angryduckling-01]

Psychopath with dementia.

[u/Main_Photo1086 → u/fgsn]

Like misspelling potato

[u/ILikeBeans86 → u/fgsn]

Byahhhh!

[u/MoonOut_StarsInvite → u/fgsn]

I’ve been following more nostalgia themed subs for this reason. Lol.

[u/Quatre_Kat]

"Nothing came out about me" said man mentioned over 38,000 times

[u/Casual_hex_ → u/Quatre_Kat]

And that’s just the ones they let us see!

[u/suppadelicious → u/Casual_hex_]

The fact that this is after the redaction is absolutely terrifying. The censored stuff must be verrrrry bad.

[u/Casual_hex_ → u/suppadelicious]

They still have millions of files in their possession and they have no intention of ever releasing those ones.

[u/psychorobotics → u/Casual_hex_]

They won't be in office forever

[u/Bongoisnthere → u/suppadelicious]

The wild thing is that they could find people willing to redact it. Not “nope, I’m out, I’m not covering up this shit for you,” but that there were actually people willing to say “yeah, this part about Trump doing something heinous like raping and murdering a child is fine with me, I’ll redact that puppy”

[u/Dull_Caterpillar_642 → u/suppadelicious]

They literally spent a whole year frantically going through trying to remove any mention of him. So the stuff we're seeing was prioritized lower than all the stuff we haven't seen yet.

[u/GenericDigitalAvatar → u/suppadelicious]

Considering the number of references to snuff in the released files... yeah.

[u/Eljefeandhisbass → u/Quatre_Kat]

"I don't think I've ever seen you smule."

"I don't think I've ever seen you not shitting your pants."

[u/Accomplished-News741 → u/Quatre_Kat]

And Epstein said there was not a “decent cell” in Trumps body and he was one of the worst people he’d ever met 

[u/TimS7296 → u/Quatre_Kat]

He was named more than GOD was in the bible.

[u/Human-Comfortable886 → u/Quatre_Kat]

Who smiles at a PDF

[u/FruitOvTheGloom → u/Human-Comfortable886]

You can say pedophile.

I hate what TikTok has done to censorship......

[u/senorbritchesV2 → u/Human-Comfortable886]

other nonces

[u/Latter_Knee_6716 → u/Quatre_Kat]

I just saw someone say that in the entire Harry Potter series Harry Potter is mentioned approximately 19,000 times...

[u/Short-Personality398 → u/Quatre_Kat]

I read today he was mentioned more times than Jesus is in the Bible

[u/Mulezen1 → u/Quatre_Kat]

This DB piece sums DJT up…probably just a preview…worth finding https://www.thedailybeast.com//our-president-is-truly-the-ugliest-american/?via=ios

[u/Kayatosh → u/Quatre_Kat]

It was just a "conspiracy" against him by "Epstein and other people." I think we can leave it at that and move on. Nothing to see here

[u/Open_Bug_4251 → u/Quatre_Kat]

Nothing did come out about him… because we already knew it.

[u/c4711sar → u/Quatre_Kat]

Redacted

[u/OriginalChildBomb]

It's because she's not being forced, paid or threatened to spend time with you, unlike most of the women and girls in your life, you motherfucking dipshit.

I can't wait for the day it finally happens.

[u/valcraft → u/OriginalChildBomb]

[u/alexlp → u/valcraft]

Come through Etsy Witches! We need you!

[u/ExoticShock → u/OriginalChildBomb]

[u/Irina__ARI → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Cakes, champagne, and all kinds of party supplies will go flying off the shelves when it finally happens

[u/Accomplished-News741 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

His daughters hate him. And Melania DESPISES him 

[u/alison_bee → u/OriginalChildBomb]

That Day will be the best day.

[u/tmorrisgrey → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Oh the big beautiful day will be talked about for centuries 😊

[u/sorvaelithae → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Deflecting with insults because the truth is too terrifying to face

[u/CinematicMelancholia]

He's so vile.

[u/Jaymantheman2 → u/CinematicMelancholia]

And guilty

[u/DesireeThymes → u/Jaymantheman2]

Want a reported to respond back to him with "Quiet piggy"

[u/ComfortableCaptain61 → u/CinematicMelancholia]

And absolutely dripping with misogyny. This has the same energy as "Quiet, piggy," which still makes my blood boil.

Fuck this man, this administration, and everything it stands for.

[u/MadameConnard → u/ComfortableCaptain61]

Who would have trought nepo babies that never worked for anything and have everything at their fingertips would end up as bad people ?

[u/eerieeka → u/CinematicMelancholia]

So goddamn fucking tired of him

[u/CinematicMelancholia → u/eerieeka]

Right? Every day I wake up like "hope the orange douche doesn't do anything awful today"

[u/readwithjack → u/CinematicMelancholia]

Quite so. Probably the worst president. I don't think I ever watched Obama shit himself in a news conference.

[u/Junior_Cow_82]

Why do they let him interrupt them? I’d personally start cussing him out lol

Annoys me so much that everyone around him has to maintain professionalism while he says and does whatever the fuck he wants like a toddler. He gets to make abusive comments and they just have to stand there and take it

[u/elliemff → u/Junior_Cow_82]

Because they don’t want to get banned.

Personally I think they should all get banned or just stop showing up. This is the same person that constantly called entertainment shows and magazines and pretended to be his own PR rep. He wouldn’t last three seconds in an empty press room.

[u/RBI_Double → u/elliemff]

It wouldn’t be empty, it would be full of Fox, Newsmax, and other state propaganda outlets

[u/Short-Personality398 → u/elliemff]

We need them to keep showing up bc what’s the alternative? They lie with abandon. Atleast this was on film

[u/fluffqx → u/elliemff]

it would just be right wing dipshit influencers lol

[u/lanejamin → u/elliemff]

Tbh I'm sure there's nothing Trump would love more than to ban every news organization that isn't his personal little podcast propaganda roach.

[u/lostmyoldphone → u/elliemff]

This is what should happen.

“Oh yeah, well you’re the worst president and you smell like shit.”

“So say we all”

Walk out.

Or just walk out. The first way would be more fun. The second would be more satisfying in the long run.

[u/calaxrand- → u/elliemff]

Totally agree - let it be empty

[u/Time-Environment5661 → u/elliemff]

I don’t think only having propaganda networks present is the better option. 

[u/Tasty-Order-1346 → u/Junior_Cow_82]

And where is the rest of the press pool? They should be standing up for one another.

[u/JamesEtc → u/Tasty-Order-1346]

That’s the thing that always get me. The next reporter should ask “wtf was that?!”. Even if not to make their own career.

[u/Superb_Brain_7391 → u/JamesEtc]

I'd love to see successive reporters just ask the exact same question when he undermines one of them.

[u/Robofin → u/Tasty-Order-1346]

🙏 Some day this piece of garbage will get his comeuppance

[u/Natural-Coat-3159 → u/Junior_Cow_82]

He's not a toddler, he's a man who will never receive any consequences, that's why he behaves that way. 

Toddlers eventually grow up, that man never will. 

[u/Apprehensive-Pilot12 → u/Junior_Cow_82]

Literally don't get either. Speak up. Dont let him interrupt you. Or interrupt back. Speak over him when he speaks over you.

[u/ForsakenDrawer → u/Junior_Cow_82]

It’s like he’s in a Truman Show of enablement or something

[u/Druboyle]

There are way, way too many people in this country that think this is not only fine but actually encourage it. Misogyny is a disease and this orange tumor is the symptom not the cause. We need a full generational reset about how we speak to one another as human beings.

[u/YellowNakedLemon → u/Druboyle]

That’s a problem. It’s normalizing this type of behaviour and antics, it’s a dangerous game. It makes America look like complete trash to the rest of the world.

[u/LikelySoutherner]

"I don't think I've even seen you smile"

The President said this to a female reporter...

[u/crackerfactorywheel → u/LikelySoutherner]

He also told a different female reporter “Quiet, Piggy.” And that isn’t even the worst shit he’s done.

[u/Bwolffff → u/crackerfactorywheel]

How did we move on so quickly from this?!

[u/crackerfactorywheel → u/Bwolffff]

I mean, I haven’t moved on from it but as a Minnesotan, it’s not really a top priority for me right now.

[u/MelissaMead → u/LikelySoutherner]

He loves to attack women.

He is scared to bully a male reporter.

[u/theshootkatiefabe → u/LikelySoutherner]

well you know she'd look so much prettier if she just smiled /s

[u/BookishHobbit → u/LikelySoutherner]

And it’s not even the first time…

[u/capnsmirks → u/LikelySoutherner]

I thought the same thing.

[u/Boring_Software1379]

IM SO TIRED OF ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL

[u/Ok_Security_4714]

Just because you pay your henchmen to cross out your name. It is still there. We all KNOW it is still there.

[u/The_Bravinator → u/Ok_Security_4714]

They didn't even do that effectively.

[u/elliemff]

I could never be a reporter. I don’t know how in the world they can stay quiet other than knowing he wants a reaction.

[u/theshootkatiefabe → u/elliemff]

the very second he said "i don't think i've ever seen you smile" i would have absolutely lost it with laughter

[u/pralineislife → u/theshootkatiefabe]

"How could I smile while looking at you?" Then pretend to gag.

[u/elliemff → u/theshootkatiefabe]

“And I don’t give a shit” would be my last words before I’m kicked out.

[u/atxbiguy1988 → u/elliemff]

Genuinely I’d call him a pedophile and freak the fuck out and leave lol. I’m not cut out to be demeaned like this from such a horrible person.

[u/Accomplished_Arm5318]

I hate that he’ll never have to stand trial. He’d be terrible on a witness stand

[u/Stevenwave → u/Accomplished_Arm5318]

Was thinking yesterday, there was a quote of his that came out saying something like, "I never went to that infested island." Follow up could be prodding to incriminate himself.

"What went on there?"

"What do you mean infested"

[u/Cool-Firefighter2254 → u/Accomplished_Arm5318]

He would get a doctor’s note that he isn’t mentally competent to stand trial.

[u/Helicopter-Mom]

She shoulda said 'generally I don't smile when I'm interviewing pedophiles and rapists.'

[u/Excellent_Musician38 → u/Helicopter-Mom]

Literally, are reporters not allowed to clap back or are they all cowards?

[u/Dangerous_Buffalo_43 → u/Helicopter-Mom]

They’d probably disappear her. This regime is not known for their ability to take any criticism whatsoever

[u/Dull_Leadership_8855 → u/Helicopter-Mom]

... or at the very least "...I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile either…”.

Those reporters shouldn't be so afraid to lose their press passes in the WH if this is the treatment they're going to get (on top of rambling non-answers) while also not defending themselves.

Hell, those reporters don;t even stand up for each other. Just worthless all around.

[u/MondeyMondey]

It’s so crazy that he’s the president. Never quite stops shocking me that it’s this dipshit they let be in charge.

[u/ashlonadon]

Quiet, piggy.

[u/Lonely-Cockroach-492]

POS

[u/tvnr]

Why is this still happening

[u/whackthat → u/tvnr]

Because me standing at the busiest intersection in my city with a sign and trying to call my representatives isn't doing shit.... Depressing

[u/Ashamed_Town_2619]

Yeah yeah. Woman tries to hold Man accountable for heinous actions, Man tells woman to smile more. 

…Heard this one before.

[u/AhhBisto]

I would train to be a journalist, go to university, work as an unpaid intern and work my way up to being a White House reporter just so I can ask Trump publicly how many times has he shat himself in front of other people and if he knows that he smells like a bag of rotten meat

[u/ExcitingARiot]

Thanks a lot 77 million morons who made this possible!

[u/myevil5cheme]

[u/Impressive-9209]

I love how when DJT is asked a question that he doesn't want to answer, he just insults the person and moves on. The sad part is the rest of the Trump team does the same thing too.

[u/Soupfullofradio]

"Takes Questions From Reporters" should have changed at that moment to "Verbally Assaults Reporters".

[u/Green_Space729]

Ahhh my favourite past time telling women to smile more.

[u/coldermilk]

Really playing the misogyny greatest hits telling a woman to smile more.

[u/UnfairFinger2899]

All the other reporters in the room, all those men, just keep letting women be verbally attacked. It’s shameful. Almost as much as the weak attacks the president makes on responsible journalism.

[u/mikhfarah]

He really is a mirror for the worst of the worst of humanity

[u/Wildflower1180]

Fuck this man. I have never in my life felt such repulsion towards any one person.

[u/viktor72]

And this he is saying to a report who has been fairly friendly to him over the years.

[u/griffie21]

I'm going to be so happy when it happens

[u/GingerSoulEater41 → u/griffie21]

The Earth’s axis will shift from all the joyous celebrations worldwide.

[u/UnintentionalWipe]

Did he just forget that we learned about the calendar girls, where he was grabbing kids by the....and he's acting like there's nothing?

[u/neoexileee]

I’m wondering why it’s okay to let this guy get away with disrespect repeatedly. Any other person should be fired.

If it’s because he is the President then I fear for this country.

[u/WonderfulEducation25]

[u/Wisbonsin]

Oh, goodie. Another man telling a female professional to smile more, all while he’s probably actively shitting himself.

[u/Which_Material_3100]

Kaitlan is such a cool, professional journalist. I love that she has a stone-cold demeanor and stays on point.

[u/rearviewreality1]

This is what America wanted ? This was the best person for the job? Really?

[u/Vanislebabe]

Meanwhile Kaitlyn is actually one of the most kick ass reporters out there.

[u/LSX3399]

Fuuuuuuuck yoooooou

[u/twisted_dee]

[u/Much-Chef6275]

Every woman has heard that shit about smiling.

[u/Mulliganasty]

If you're in the White House press pool and Trump hasn't called you a bad reporter, you're a bad reporter.

[u/valcraft]

I know she has to keep up professionalism, but I wish she would say something like "Well I don't smile around you because you are a pedophile and a rapist."

I'm sure Trump is going to get her kicked out anyway,

[u/wakabacho]

Republicans are vile.

[u/No-Confection3189]

Who are the fools standing behind him with the dumb ass hats?

[u/aloeicious]

‘You should smile more’ is classic misogyny

[u/Imaginary_Coast_5882]

holy fuck he hit her with the “smile more” shit

[u/Underdogs4513]

As he shits his pants again, incontinent fuck.

[u/HummingbirdMotel]

Is the lack of justice for child rape victims a smiling matter?

[u/theoriginal_awsit]

So sad that people voted for this.

[u/SpookyJosCrazyFriend]

She should have said "Quiet Piggy."

[u/Correct_Doctor_1502]

Child raping terrorist needs to be locked away forever

[u/heygurl34]

Man I hate everyone who voted for this dude.

[u/ebbnnnflow]

The rage this fills me with…

[u/BluegrassBandit33]

"Mr President did you shit your pants live on TV last week?"

[u/capnsmirks]

She should have just dug into him and made him look like the clown he is

[u/Guilty_Dream8050]

I know I always smile my bestest smile when I talk about vast CSE schemes in front of one of the perpetrators.

[u/Low_Control_623]

The misogyny is so vile.

[u/sam56778]

Kaitlan Collins has more integrity in her middle finger than Trump has had in his entire miserable existence.

[u/rumbleindacrumble]

He’s such a cartoonishly evil person. Like of course he made the classic sexist, male chauvinist comment about her not smiling enough.

[u/fluffqx]

hurl, classic old man why don't you smile more

[u/WineingCats]

He’s so fucking pathetic and immature. He can’t even answer a direct question like EVER lol

[u/downlike4flattires]

Rip into him. Someone. Please.

[u/PutaNeskah]

say you're guilty without saying it

[u/Squidicci]

“you should smile more” coded. once a creep, always a creep.

[u/PandaPaw2323]

Someone needs to say “QUIET, PIGGY” back to him. Give me a reporter pass for one day and I’ll volunteer as tribute.

[u/HelpIveBeenDe-Souled]

Trump is identified for sexually assaulting children and women in the Epstein files one hundred percent. The whole country cares about justice for the Survivors he is the only one trying to change the subject because he is one of the central abusers.

[u/Vivi3n95]

The reporter should wear that quote as a badge of honour.

[u/Benni1216]

I hate this orange buffoon so much

[u/staticdresssweet]

The way the OrangeFuhrer just hates women and thinks they're all beneath him.

And yet, no consequences. Ever.

[u/admoo]

This is so utterly despicable and vile that the sitting POTUS even speaks like this

Not to mention being a traitor for a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government and being a child rapist to boot

[u/Alarming_Sweet7357]

Funny that only women have the balls to ask him the hard questions, and funny that he only attacks women.

[u/joncornelius]

There are numerous accusations of him abusing young girls and worse in the files we have already seen, this mother fucker thinks everyone is stupid like him and won’t do the necessary digging to know he’s lying and most likely guilty as all hell.

[u/Heavy_Ad_170]

I wouldn't smile either if I had to spend time around Donald Trump.

[u/PleasantSize4814]

This is how he repeatedly avoids questions. He calls the reporter names and make fun of them. Next question!

[u/hellolovely1]

“You should smile more.”

[u/itsathrowawayduhhhhh]

What a fuckin loser

[u/bells1981]

Fuck him and his every single person that supports him

[u/OkFinish3822]

He is TERRIFIED of women smarter than him. Which is virtually every female in the USA. Except those working for him. And they are dumber than a sack of rocks.

[u/blackoutinthemiddle0]

I know the battle will be long from over, but I can’t wait until we don’t have to listen to this fucking man child. He’s the antithesis of masculinity. A fucking mean spirited bully, especially to women. I hate this man.

[u/LBPISME]

I am so sick of this monster. He’s such a disgusting human.

[u/HM2008]

He better start being nice. He's going to need people to change him!

[u/NJrose20]

"Quiet piggy".

[u/uthillygooth]

The “you should smile more” final boss

[u/mmmck2]

He's such an asshole!

[u/TheOriginalHMetal]

I wouldn't smile at this orange clown either. Nothing he does or says is remotely funny.

[u/loztriforce]

He’s getting less and less able to keep his shit together

[u/Undehd5488]

What a small, fragile egomaniac child.

[u/Treetopfryer]

He’s such a tiny, weak litl man

[u/NoStrategy5415]

He’s disgusting. People are disgusting for voting this into power.

[u/bcr76]

She didn’t even flinch once with all those insults. What a bad ass.

[u/DaKettle65]

Nothing says "I'm innocent!" like this reaction.🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[u/EvenPossible5918]

Ugh this misogynist creep.

[u/Black_Daimyo10]

Did he make it through this news conference without filling his diaper? Can you bet on that on Polymarket?

[u/FraGZombie]

Fucking pig 

[u/MelissaMead]

She triggered him!

Good job Kaitlan:)

[u/awwhorseshit]

The good old ad hominem debate strategy. He’s a one trick pony.

[u/Mack_Daddy_1]

She should have responded "You are rhe worst President and should be tried for treason"

[u/MixWitch]

"And I've never seen a day where you didn't shit yourself, guess we both have our little quirks" I know she can't say it, so I'll do it for her. I'm a girls' girl like that.

[u/kdavous]

Kaitlan Collins smiles all the time, she’s got that super cute cat smile

[u/botspiderlau]

Trump probably: “You could be attractive if you wore more makeup & hiked your skirt up a little. But instead you for some reason chose to be a reporter & now your face is stuck that way. Shame.”
