This made me laugh so hard, bc it's exactly what happens to my email when Trump starts talking everyday:
From Politco this morning:
“WAIT, HE SAID WHAT?” says every editor and television producer to a chain of reporters and correspondents. Depending on their fortitude,
2-"reporters invariably reply something like this: “Ugh, this will never happen, and let me explain why.” It’s typically a waste of energy, as breaking news alerts go out and red banners get splayed across TV’s lower thirds.
3-"THERE IS MOUNTING EVIDENCE-a pile of it, in fact-that President DONALD TRUMP enjoys releasing trial balloons, and doesn’t mind when they float into the ether and explode out of sight. PUT MORE BLUNTLY, lots of times, his words are just words.
4-And here's the 'mounting evidence' (it's important to pay attn to this, kids):
"Trump said he has “total” control over when, whether and how the country reopens. Just days later, he said he’d defer totally to governors.
5-"Trump & his allies have not been shy about urging states to reopen. Pockets of America will open at different times, he’s said, & that is OK with him because it is up to local officials. But when GA's Gov moved faster than any other governor,
6-"Trump smacked him down from the WH briefing room.
Trump said last week he would use the Constitution’s power to unilaterally adjourn Congress because he was so frustrated with the pace of executive branch confirmations.
7-"He never brought it up again, and this week, his GOP Capitol Hill allies began pressing the case that Congress should come back into session immediately.."
So you see, he's playing you, and us (the press)..but it's our job to report what any Potus says
