She attacked him. He defended himself. He could have chosen the more peaceful to route but he is an aggressive combative guy. Because other people perceive him as racist doesn’t mean he needs to act in any way to rob them of that illusion, they will find another way to pin the label on him.
She didn't attack him, she did her job. The president comes out and gives his view how everything is great. We all know that is not true. To what degree we can argue over. It is then the job of the press to ask the hard questions (mostly negative) to get the other side of the story. He only wants positive questions. Anything else he attacks as being fakenews, unfair, nasty among other things. He is just a big baby.

Did you see how they ran the impeachment?
You want 200 pages instead of 100?  :P

It’s not their job to attack and criticize exclusively, they can ask fair questions and say something positive for a change. There was nothing to be gained from a journalistic perspective from that question. They can mention that testing has been a positive, instead of finding a way to use it as a cudgel.

Agreed about the big baby part, and that it’s not true that everything is great.

This basically sums up any thread about Trump.

Really? If you don't act like a president, you don't get treated like one.
who gave you the right to make up rules?

what rules did I make up? It’s common knowledge that everyone is taught to respect leaders whether you agree with them or not.

Do you respect Kim and Nasrallah?

In any event, standing up for yourself when being bullied is not disrespectful. The reporters are a true embodiment of the American values of free speech and free press.

So this was out of line? @mochjas

McConnell is a current leader.
Trump is a current leader.
Obama is a former leader.

None of these people are journalists, but Obama broke protocol by criticizing Trump. He definitely was out of line, if that’s what you’re asking.

I was asking if McConnell was out of line with his disrespectful comment about a former president.

i don’t know who those are but if they are terrorists then obviously that’s another thing. I am not commenting on this specific question I am just saying in general there is no respect from the media with the way they ask questions. Again I am not a trump supporter and I didn’t vote for Trump but these gotcha questions are way out of line and there are lots of them.

Even if you didn't answer my question after I clarified it I will answer yours. I don't believe any former president should criticize a sitting president. So yes BO should not have done it. What he didn't do is tell him to shut his mouth. I think we all know once Trump is out of office he will be criticizing with disrespectful comments like we have never seen before. 

Lets see if I get an answer.  :)

That is very possible but that has nothing to do with Trumps comment. All he had to do was say the following instead of reinforcing the belief that many have of him being a racist.
when you work tirelessly to get things done, and expect a thank you and then get this question instead, his reaction makes sense (unless if you're drugged up)
