Chump's big problem (well, one of his many problems) is that he can't listen to anyone for any length of time. He can't formulate an answer on-the-fly, and he makes things worse when he goofs or says something that wasn't planned. Kristen Welker isn't going to tip off the President what questions she plans to ask, so there's no advance planning on this one.

He thinks he can BS his way through any interview by making it up as he goes along. And most of the time he gets away with it because no reporter calls him on his lies and inventions. Kristen is having none of that, so "Good for her!"

We've all seen the interviews where Barack Obama could make quick adjustments and change course when someone objects or questions him. He was always ready to backtrack and take it in another direction when necessary. But Chump can't do any of that. He can't handle it, so he just gets up and walks out.

It's called "The Shart of the Deal."

He has been pulling this crap since way before he went into politics. His idea of an "interview" is he talks and everyone else just listens.

In the side shot you can see where he stopped applying his very dark orange makeup. Why does he need makeup? Does he feel ugly when he isn't orange or isn't all dolled up in makeup? Maybe he should try some eyeliner, mascara rouge. Then it wouldn't be so stark. It's as if a clown applied his makeup.

I suspect he looks gray under that orange. That's the color people get when they can not get rid of fluids pooling in their body. It's a light gray tinge to a very pale skin tone.

If they are "fake news" and dirty, why does he go on their shows??

Because he doesn't usually care what the questions are, he gives the answers he wants to give. He sees it as an opportunity to keep lying to the American people and not have to answer for it.

Kudos to Welker for pressing him just a little today. That is more pushback than he is accustomed to. He could not handle it.

He said Comey was a "dirty cop". How would he know? He wasn't around long enough for him to find out and he certainly wasn't around during the Biden years? He fired him very early in his first term.

He was in charge when January 6th happened? It was his AG and Attorney General that chose to press charges against the cop beaters of January 6th. Biden was not yet in office. They only continued his efforts to prosecute the offenders of January 6th.

His timeline doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

There's an important scene in the first "Expendables" movie (Stallone / Statham / Willis).

Eric Roberts, as drug lord James Munroe, tells David Zayas as General Garza that he's got to shoot 3 of his men who betrayed him as "an example to the others."

Trump's crowed like a rooster about the money he's made from his lawsuits.

And, he reads off a laundry list to Welker of the networks who are "crooked" (basically everyone but Fox and Newsmax).

So it's more Phony Soprano mob boss-speak for "What I did to them, I can do to you."

Also more of his rapist mindset in action.
