    Everything Trump does is fueled by his own lack of decency...cheering for it wouldn't be something I'd brag about

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's just tribalism. He does the things they want, so his behavior doesn't matter to them. In these days of extreme political polarization, very few people judge politicians by whether they're decent humans but only by whether they're the right party.

    I'm of the camp that the times are changing at lightining speed right now...status quo just got a serious wake up call.

    There’s no need to brag. It’s just what it is.

    and you still want to portray poor Trump as a victim after the way he treated those two women journalists? if you can't see the fault is his here, you just don't want to look

    Nah, he’s a big boy. He’s doing a fine job defending himself.

    I agree with the "big" part and the "boy" part...he's a wreck melting down otherwise who looks like he hasn't slept in months and has a short fuse and no attention span or diplomatic skills whatsoever...he's not defending himself mags...he's letting you do that for him.

    I mean the Asian one just kind of got unhinged. The other one was going to pout about things not being fair when she let the Asian one take her turn.

    Trump did them a favor by walking out before they could embarrass themselves any further.

    Wait, hasn’t Trump been shit-talking China for a couple months now to anyone and everyone? We’re you guys just waiting for him to say “China” to an Asian so you could pounce on some racism shit? This is really fucking stupid, I’m sorry. Yeah he’s a rude dickhead but I’m missing the overt racism.

    Interesting side note: Not all Asians are Chinese. Surprised I have to say this to a bunch of “woke” lefties, but I find it interesting that the only thing that makes their accusation work is by them completely generalizing Asians themselves. Super ironic.

    FWIW, that particular reporter was born in China.

    That Asian American is Chinese...her name is Mandarin in English romanization..I speak Mandarin and lived over there 20 years but go ahead...tell my wife how being spoken to like that isn't offensive..I've been talking with half a dozen Chinese friends tonight about this story...they are not idiots without a clue about racial profiling but I'm sure that the escape hatch for anti journalists..and it's not what he said but how he said it and how he called her honest question nasty....nice try to distract the situation but Trump was dead wrong handling this the way he did....maybe you got a chuckle out of it. His tone alone was offensive even if you didn't understand english

    He handled it poorly and was rude, I don’t think many people could deny that. He didn’t bring up China because the reporter was Chinese though. He brought up China because that’s his latest thing to bring up 50 times a day. What’s the difference between him saying the same thing to everyone else of every color and creed and him saying it to this woman? All it really proves is that he is pretty universal and indiscriminate when it comes to being a dick.
