I'd love nothing more than a "F*CK YOU" response the next time Trump hurls sexist / misogynistic insults at a reporter

I know it's never going to happen.

The reporter might "lose access."

The Secret Service might taze them, or maybe Kash Patel will put them in front of a firing squad.

But that "MISS PIGGY" bullshit really chaps my hide. And reporters keep swallowing it. Eventually, he might drop the "N" word, or something worse. Can't believe how we have normalized his abhorrent behavior.

The only thing that works with a bully is putting on the brakes.

I reluctantly "get" the concept of push-back when a president is involved.

What I don't get is that this didn't BEGIN with his political career. He's been rude / boorish / sexist for his entire life, and he's always gotten away with it.

This is a memorable way to think about strength and it informs me when I discuss leadership with my college students.

Reporting on the King pig and pedophile.

Also would probably get fired. And would be constantly harangued and threatened by MAGAts.

The repoter who stands up to the pedo, will have to be willing to burn a lot of bridges.

As far as these reporters taking a verbal raping from the orange asshole every day, they are going to have to figure out what their dignity is worth. Access is temporary, but longer term their credibility will be gone and they will be regulated to the dust bin of former Trump brown noses; ie., worthless.

Every single press person should unite and refuse to attend and cover his briefings. Journalists can still work and report information, but seriously--what is the point of his abusive and always dishonest treatment at his briefings? He does not co-operate and absolutely nothing is learned. Instead, he should be press starved.

I have mentioned I wish a reporter with enough bank would call him out at a press conference...but a poster just mentioned potential harassment from some extreme Magats - so idk. Maybe a single person w no kids?

He needs some face 2 face public comeuppance! (And jail time at some point!)
