This question from @Olivianuzzi typifies the disconnect between the media and the public better than anything I’ve seen lately.
A question designed to provoke.
Not to ascertain more details nor help inform the public.pic.twitter.com/xkzjha5M2p
When you have a political agenda, as you do, it’s hard to imagine that anyone could be acting without one. But it wasn’t designed to provoke, and it didn’t provoke. I appreciate that the president answered the question somewhat thoughtfully (if not fully) & without defensiveness.

How did your question help to inform the public? How was it useful at all?

To ask a president whether mass death on his watch might say something about whether he should be re-elected?

Big Orange does really seem to like you...Not sure he would have answered the question if anyone else had posed it.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

An entirely fair question in every way, one that would and should be asked of a president from any party.

He’s also dead wrong on where the public is.
