President Trump got in the face of ABC’s Rachel Scott after she asked him a question about the rationale behind his national midterm voter bribe.

“Mr. President, on the checks: The U.S. is still $40 trillion in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote?” she asked Thursday night.

    I watched the video, he didn’t lunge he got closer and leaned in to yell. Nothing fast or dramatic, just rude.

    If he tried to lunge he’d almost certainly fall. His speech is slurring more than the last time I listened to him and his movements are so very slow and calculated like he’s struggling to stay upright.

      What ridiculous semantics you’re arguing?

      And yes, he did lunge at the end, it’s a series of movements throughout where he gets closer and closer, but the last is very forward and meant to intimidate. And the reporter didn’t even flinch as he’s such a non-threatening old fool standing on 4" lifts.

      Shame on you for this nonsense? Think about why you are arguing something before you just act.

        Not really arguing semantics. It’s not a lunge. My issue is with these overly sensational headlines. They make it easier to dismiss for those inclined to do so. Plus these sensational headlines basically pad Fox’s daily talking points.

        Like you don’t need the exaggeration, his actions are already bad enough

          He is a president of the united states. Is not normal, it’s not acceptable, it was an obvious aggressive move forward after escalating aggressive words from him. Again, all after he had already come closer and closer to her throughout. And he is the one that deliberately orchestrates press addresses near helicopters/planes for the chaos and deniability coming from that noise.

          Stop doing any work to indirectly apologize for his actions and stop acting like fox news won’t have dozens of bullshit talking points regardless of anything like this “helping”

            Never said it was.

            I think you’re missing my point entirely and taking my comments to an illogical extreme.
