Trump says he has a good relationship with Kim Jong Un, asks the lifeguard he's honoring to co-sign his attacks on the press, and then snaps at a woman reporter: "Be quiet! Be quiet!"

If the kid was pressured into this by his parents, I have sympathy for him. But I have zero sympathy for the parent. No one made him do this. I can't even imagine, as a parent, agreeing to something like this.

Why anyone would accept an invitation to be "honored" by this administration is beyond me. They have to know they're simply being used. It's fucking humiliating to me as an American who romanticized the White House and its dated yet stately rituals.

Respectfully, Aaron, I think It's the 10-year-old child who was rescued who is sitting on the couch and who Trump asked to co-sign his press attack. As bad as asking it of the teen lifeguard, this is so much worse. [photo cropped from PBS video]

I agree. Trump is a manipulative figure head. It is the evil group behind him that are worse. But I would put in an even deeper circle of hell than Trump and his backers – those antiTrumpers who refused to vote for his opponents. Their carping led to today. And it has already started for2028.

The reporters need to strike back. When he says “be quiet!” They yell back you’re a lying piece of shit and belong in prison. Also, everyone hates you!” They’d all lose their jobs of course but they’d be a national hero.

Remember when North Korea tortured that young man Otto Warmbier, a UVA student, and released him just before he died

He was going to silence “ Rocket Man “ , a few years ago…. Now he’s begging to be friends !!! 🤬. A F-ing coward ‼️‼️‼️💯

My question for the lifeguard: If Donald Trump and a family member of yours, (mom, dad, sis, whomever) and and you could only save one of them, who do you choose? 🤔

Donald Trump is insane, but he is not the main problem. The ignorant MAGA~base and christian fundamentalists that are identified with Trump is the main problem. Without these simple minds there would never have been a Donald Trump. Need to point out the psychological background of this cult.

Could never be me. My mouth has gotten me in trouble my whole life. There is no way on this earth I would ever let anyone, let alone this ignorant asshole, speak to me like that. Have some respect, journos! Stand up to him when he acts like that. FFS.

Would you please continue - this is simply world-class entertainment? While we in #Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰 enjoy ourselves in our welfare society, the USA provides the entertainment. The Republicans got exactly what they asked for. Shut up, he's crazy 🤡 We bow and thank you for the entertainment.

How ANY woman supports this man is truly beyond me. I get not being a one-issue voter, but one would think that being the biggest di*k in the world would be the exception that proves the rule.

It is simply pathetic that he 🍊🤡 wants the respect of a dictator who punishes his people and is cruel to them and leads them into starvation in the winter. #47's pathetic desire to be liked is on full display.

Just imagine FDR saying he had a good relationship with Hitler & saying Hitler always treated him with "great respect" ... and then publicly insulting, belittling & abusing women. THIS is the Republican Party. #2026Midterms #2026Elections

I feel for the ignored guest of honor. I was taken out for lunch by two company managers to celebrate a milestone in my years of service. They spent the lunch discussing with each other the pros and cons of plasma vs LED tvs and where to shop.

Kim Jong-Un did not like Obama and Biden but he likes Trump. Of course he does. A demented narcissist that can be easily manipulated, what’s not to like .

More journalists should ask the tough questions, it sends him into a fake news frenzy - men journalists! There’s a reason Kim Jong Un didn’t get on with other presidents and loves Trump the traitor.😡

Oh he left off the “quiet piggy” crap this time? Why don’t other press in the room call this out? Yell at him for being unprofessional and below the office of president. Call him a pediphile protector right in the Oval Office. Call him out for his lies and BS. Just endlessly push back on him

Disgraceful this man is such a disgrace and why anyone stands by and allows this to continue to happen is unconscionable!! Shame on every person standing there, and every employer who continues to allow their employees to be subjected to this… SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR!!!

and the next reporter just proceeds to ask their question! reporters need to stand up for each other: "Mr President, why do you think it is appropriate to label news you dont like as fake and tell a colleague doing their job on behalf of the American people to 'shut up'?" It's not hard!

Trump's basically saying "Kim Jong Un knows I can be easily manipulated by stroking my ego, so he's been stroking my ego, & I'm now very manipulated." That's how many other world leaders've been getting him to play along, hook line & sinker. He's so weak minded he doesn't realize it.

Criminal Pig fucker must be removed & enablers marched to accountability....people will not stand for this & matter of time before shit turns and sociopath recognized, muzzled, & shamed out of office with drooling ass-kissing sycophantic obsequious following in shameful perp march to accountability

Maybe he should pop over for a state visit Maybe when there he would say something to piss of the well known compassionate living, perspective taking leader of the least free nation on the planet Maybe he could end up in a gulag My new near future novel

Wow! Since no one stood up the very first time when he scolded a journalist, he's getting bolder. Fuck these people for not standing up to colleagues

I want to see and hear Democrats have the balls to say they will prosecute every single corrupt act/scheme ON DAY ONE and immediately pack SCOTUS, but because they won't - don't expect people to "vote blue no matter who" Because that is what people want and dems are not for the people if they don't

Trump on UK PM: I think he is going to open up the North Sea. Trump says he's talked with Kim Jong Un since yesterday and demands South Korea pay up Trump: ROK president told me he'd rather not get involved on Iran Trump on South Korea: We can't protect if they're not there to help us.

Aaron, can you make public a list of all the journalists in the room, noting the woman so disrespected by the Toad? I for one would like to call them out for not backing their colleague and call on their employers to demand a collective response from the media to this misogynistic bullying bullshit?

Buddy, it doesn't matter how he treats you, It's how he and his country treat its citizens as well as its neighboring countries. That is how you make the decision to continue war games to ensure safety from an agressor-nation.
