Live Updates: Biden holds first press conference as president

I didn't find Trump humorous at all. It's pretty desperate when Trump followers have to compare a POTUS sense of humor.

 

Dude, I'm no fan of Trump. And he HAS said some very funny stuff over the years. Of course, it was at the Left's expense so it's understandable that you'd be pouty.

 

I don't care about the left. Trump has no sense of humor. He just insults people. Don Rickles he is not.

 

Trump is no longer the president. You said Biden could read and CNN clearly agrees with you. He just can't hold a thought or stay on topic. And he doesn't know when reporters will be allowed inside detention centers. Sounds just like Trump's policy. And he couldn't give a definitive answer when asked if he was going to run in 2024. I don't think the media is comfortable with a Harris presidency. I'm sure they are concerned that Harris will not be able to beat Trump.

 

And that's the best defense you got for this pitiful display and not just by Biden but by the press.

 

If he was asked about 2024 and had no answer, I guess we know it wasn’t scripted don’t we?

 

There is a conspiracy out there that Biden never planned on running in 2024 giving Harris the opportunity to run. Maybe Biden just confirmed that conspiracy as being a fact? It was clear the reporters weren't comfortable with his non-commitment response.

 

He did have an answer, which included noting that 3 1/2 years is a long way off. I wish all politicians thought this way. They used to. I'm sick of the perpetual campaigning, and I'm glad Biden left it at "I expect to."

 

I disagree. I think trump is a petulant narcissist and his bully smirk only accentuates his cruel and puerile rhetoric.
There is nothing witty about such characters, just pathos.
In my time, JFK was easily the wittiest and most intelligent potus. Reagan was pretty witty as well, but he lacked JFK's raw intelligence.

 

They can ask all they want. Biden will announce his decision when he's ready. He said he expects to, but it's a long way off and things can change. That's a very reasonable answer.

 

Biden totally ignored the Fox press! Yet the Dems screamed when Trump ignored the attacking CNN almost reporter.

Two faced much?

 

False. Post #47

 

He was prepared for specific questions, just not the subject. This tells a reasonable person that these questions were given to him in advance in order to to give his staff an opportunity to develop the answers. He had to read them off note cards, because there's no way they could spin using a teleprompter.

That's why he didn't call on reporters who would have asked substantive questions, then pressed him when he wandered off course.

They only question which caught him by suprise was the dumb reelection questions. The entire press conference was beyond pathetic

 

Tough questions? I didn't hear any. Tell me about these tough questions.

 

Yea the big guy, while his son apparently broke gun background check laws and got Secret Service protection over the matter.

 

Yes, of course. You're gonna think this regardless of facts, so have fun with it.

 

Was that your attempt at satire? That's not Babylon Bee material.

 

Tell me where I am wrong.

 

Reporter with stars in her eyes "Mr. President are you going to run again???"
Second reporter with stars in her eyes "Mr. President if you do will Kamal be on the ticket???"


GEeezzzzzzz

 

You're speculating. I prefer facts.

 

No, it was to show that Biden took a question from Fox, thus disproving the claims being made.

 

Those were the only questions which weren't given to him in advance.

 

Tell me where I was not being factual.

 

He did not take a question from Fox News.


Peter Doocy was the Fox News reporter there and was not called on at all. Either you are misinformed or intentionally misrepresenting the truth.

Peter Doocey was asked about whether or not that suprised him and he said that he knew that wasn't going to called on to ask questions.
