  • When you see trump and the accordion 🪗 hands, you know he is telling lies, The accordion 🪗 hands are his body language of saying "i am telling you lies"
  • @johnkennedy9398
    Why is the press allowing Trump to lie and not confront him
  • @joanmccurdy1116
    Trump said to a reporter, "I am ahead in the polls, AS YOU KNOW." The reporter should have hit back with. "No, I don't know because you are not ahead in the polls." That "AS YOU KNOW" is a way to make his lie reality and to make the reporter complicit in his reality.
  • @craigruvere8460
    The media needs to call him out on lying more instead of just letting him rant on and on. The media must do their job and push the facts instead of letting him ramble.

  • @davidabbett7011
    How is this a surprise to anyone??? He has been a documented and proven liar and narcissist for his entire adult life.
  • He talks in circles and speaks in BS and all of the media play his crap over and over again. Just take him off air.
  • @farid7838
    The problem is not that Trump is a pathological (yes, he's sick) liar, but that mainstream medias go along, leave him unchallenged, unchecked. This is a terrible deontological journalism disgrace.
  • @Trainnotstrain
    Even Eric Cartman would be ashamed at the amount of lies T-Rump vomits out daily...
  • When Lawrence slammed his notes down in disgust that was the moment that should put him down for the best Newscaster in history!
  • @Bryan-sk214
    LIAR, the single word that will sum up his legacy.
  • @user-qi7mo1il1m
    Fact check everything that trump spews and call him out on every lie
  • @b_northof5369
    Well, then the journalists in the room need to confront him with those lies and when he asks for the next question from any of the journalists they should highlight the lie he just told, not going on to their own question first, take him on directly in real time.
  • @karenbachar5253
    MSNBC glad you are elevating this however. After 9 years? What does that say about the media writ largez...Do better.
  • @LoonieGoon3r
    And you guys don't check him or stop reporting him. Imagine if all the reporters (minus Fox) at his stupid press conference left when he starts lying 🤥
  • @ravipeiris4388
    It's not the Harris's campaign that should be fact checking trump, it's lazy reporters/journalists.
  • @rgs4x
    Funny how only a select few news stations call him out. Disgusting.
  • Make sure you’re registered and vote! We’re not going back! Harris/Walz 2024 🇺🇸
