The ongoing dysfunctional codependent relationship between the political media and President Donald Trump flared up again on Sunday afternoon during a Rose Garden press conference on the government’s handling of the Wuhan virus that has swept the globe.
Trump needs the media to act the way they do so he can dunk on them and look good by comparison. The media are enjoying the short-term rush of their war with Trump, wearing his abuse as a badge of honor among their peers.
On Sunday, the media were pretty sure they had Trump in a bind when he reacted negatively to a question by PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor.

Bunch of children from grade school could be asking a more intelligent question than these reporters obsessed with "gotcha questions" for the President.

That's OK, keep the political reporting fools coming. It's like lots of mini debates on serious issues and Trump is slicing them up like they are in a blender. These idiots will continue their attacks in one way or another; their echo chamber roundtables, articles, etc. At the briefings, live before 12 million people, they ask their stupid questions. A lot of people recognize the stupidity of the question right out of the gate. Then, Trump has the opportunity to respond in real time and illuminate how these fools are wasting the Country's time. If it works out, the President has time to accurately reiterate some useful information. Being able to respond in real time destroys their attacks aborning.
Then the Country sees, if they wish to, the gathering of the cliques to defend their stupid brethren and sees live spin in action. I can't tell you the number of times I have heard someone on the 6 o'clock news say something from the spin room and think "That's NOT what Trump said. Even my more middle of the road wife, after having listened to the news conference, has started yelling at the TV in anger, saying "That's NOT what happened.".
Trump is winning this battle, YUGELY. Let the media diminish themselves even further. They can't help themselves.

If my name was Yamiche I’d probably go around making a fool of myself as well. “Your Delta Tau name is Flounder. Your Delta Tau name is Yamiche”. Isn’t anybody named Betty, Sally, Ann or Vivian anymore?

Just another "magic negro" whom the leftists hope is immune to criticism due to her skin tone. She looks like a young James Brown (sorry, Jim), the football player, not the singer.

I don't understand why Trump calls on these people. He already knows they are going to ask him a dumb question, so why not ignore them. I don't think he's required to call on them. It gets tiresome to have to watch him waste airtime (and my time) playing games with those people. Meanwhile, other Reporters have questions that we might like to have The President speak to! Seat Acosta and Alcindor in the Back Row!

CNN A$$costa complains that Birx and Fauci aren't being heard enough. When given the opportunity to ask a question he goes after POTUS with a gotcha instead of asking Birx or Fauci anything.

Maybe, behind the back fence wearing a mask much resembling a muzzle, as a seating arrangement, would resolve the problem of juvenile reporters interrupting an otherwise important and informative presser . . . PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor . . . I'll leave to other commenters the solving of the riddle concerning the meaning of the initials . . . hint: the first word is "pure".

The president actually calls on this absurd not-so-little clown? Why?

One of the best things Trump has accomplished is the public recognition of FAKE news. Many Americans are now educated to the fact that most in the news media are pushing liberal propaganda. His news conferences remind us of this and provide daily examples of media attempts at slanted reporting. Bring it on Mr. President!
Excellent article Ms. Hemingway. Thank you.

I can't help wondering whether she is related in some way to Lew.

The calories to feed her neck would put food into 10 starving children in Africa! No wonder her brain cannot produce anything, blood and oxygen cannot make the rounds to that empty box!

To those wondering why President Trump calls on the reporters who ask stupid and combative questions the answer is simple: real world debate practice. The Bible says in Proverbs, "Just as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another." After this daily exercise for weeks on end his mind and wit will cut everything Jobama O'Biden to shreds with a keenness never before imagined in modern American politics.
