Found this gem this morning.

Apparently, the word is that Ms. Yamiche was rude and threatening to the POTUS... yet this clip clearly shows her A) using HIS OWN WORDS, IN CONTEXT, to confront him, and B) if anyone was being rude or threatening here, it was the POTUS deliberately shouting and talking over her in an attempt to squelch her into silence.

What a spineless, cowardly eunuch of a man Trump is. Has to talk loudly over a woman to make himself feel safe and secure even though her questioning was actually quite benign.

What's insane is some of the Trumpists parrot the ridiculous notion that it's bad to... get this... hold the POTUS accountable for his words and actions with, get this... his own words and actions.

So much for "hold his feet to the fire". Thought that rationalization to be a pile of pig crap when it was shoved in my face four years ago, and I definitely know it know.

He was absolutely rude and ridiculous. She asked an extremely legitimate and necessary question. The answer to that question is 100% needed in order for any rational person to determine whether there is any merit at all to the idea that we need to loosen restrictions in order to prevent domestic abuse, substance abuse, and suicide. It was a great question asked in a respectful manner. She was 100% in the right, and he was 100% a dick. If we are to do a cost/benefit analysis on this thing, we NEED that answer. If the experts tell us that a total lock down will cause 2 million people to commit suicide while only preventing 100,000 additional deaths, then of course we need to take a close look at that. But, if the experts tell us that the shut down risks an additional 1000 suicides, compared to a possible 1,000,000 additional deaths from not shutting down, then it's not even worth our time discussing it. To just say, "I have a hunch that there will be many" does not cut it.
