Yeah, whenever I’m asked about Trump I say “I detest him, but to be fair, I didn’t like him before he ran for president.”
Journalists, we need more of this.
I mean, you don’t have to actually say “that’s a lie” or “you’re full of shit” or “that’s not an answer to the question I asked.”
Just hit him with the facts.
