...if any of them asked really tough questions, they would be yelled at from the podium and from Trump, and most likely banned from any future press conferences, but it would very likely advance their career and make them pretty damn popular with a large swath of this country's citizens (like me).

Or, maybe they really are that stupid and cannot understand who actually pays for Trump's tariffs. (Psst! It's the American people, not the country where the goods came from.)
