Trump, sounding very tired, attacks a woman reporter for not smiling more

Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins: CNN's a very corrupt organization, with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles. Young, beautiful woman, never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing with such hatred in her eyes.

1. my lifelong standard response to men telling me to smile more

FUCK OFF

[hlthe2b]

2. Mine: "I will at your funeral..."

[MustLoveBeagles]

10. My husband is guilty of that

He doesn't mean anything bad about it. I just let him know his advice hasn't been well received.

23. Older men tend to do so thinking they are complementing or just being friendly or because

it seems innocent and they grew up in a time when it wasn't so filled with baggage meanings. But far younger men more often do it as a patronizing/controlling comment. And I certainly would not like that--especially if I was a young woman closer to their age today.

24. He's 63

He's old fashioned in some ways but respects women.

3. Did this just happen?

If so, I guess the disappearing act is over

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. Unfortunately 😕

16. Garage Queen

If they don’t take the 2024 Dimdonniechucklenuts out from the Dump House garage and knock the rust off once in a while, Miller, Gorka and Wiles fear the lunatic won’t start the next time they fill the traitor with his NAZI programming and clown decal regalia in order to distract from his family’s close relationship to the child sexual abuser and blackmailer, Jeffrey Epstein.

19. This has become a pattern.

He goes out of sight for days at a time. Then when the chatter gets loud enough they find a way to trot him out for a minute as proof of life. It’s happened at least 3 times since the Labor Day disappearance last year. Maybe more.

4. Not at all presidential to say the least.

What a goddamn pig.

[Whip-poor-will]

5. Speaking of never

Never saw trump pet any animal anywhere

James Crumley: The hardboiled crime author penned a much longer, famous version of this quote in his 1978 novel The Last Good Kiss. His character says: "Son, never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time."

6. Classic misogyny

😠

[Skittles]

18. yup

I've never been told by a woman to smile more, and I doubt many men are told to smile more

[SalviaBlue]

7. "I see her standing with such hate in her eyes."

She speaks for all of us…. Especially women.

Thank you, Kaitlan!

[2MuchNoise]

8. Did piggy answer the reporter's question?

[Blue Owl]

9. Renee Good smiled -- then one of fat fuck's ICE goons shot her in the face and walked away scott free

So fuck all the way off you disgusting piece of shit pedophile rapist.

[MustLoveBeagles]

12. Thank you 👍

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. This Kaitlan Collins?

[B.See]

14. Prolly thought to herself,

"You're nothing to smile about, mfkr."

[moondust]

15. Important.

[MIButterfly]

17. Who could smile being in close proximity to him?

I would be too busy trying to control my gag reflex to smile.

[senseandsensibility]

20. Again?

And what was her response this time? If he tried that in the private sector it would be considered harrassment.

[senseandsensibility]

21. He also said she has hatred in her eyes

"because we have borders". The guy sounds mean, tired, and crazy. Why do the press not stand up for each other?

[Tumbulu]

22. Yes, why don't they all start yelling at him?

it just proves to me how ridiculous they all are- and possessing zero courage.
