Have you ever really noticed Trump when he is being interviewed? He commands the interview, not the interviewer. He has several techniques. One that is lost on others, but he gets away with it. He talks over the interviewer when he thinks he has a “golden nugget” of information and he has to repeat 3 times, no less.
The interviewer naturally tries to stop him and have him answer another question, but no, Trump will keep hitting the interviewer’s arm as if he is correcting a dog. This makes the interviewer stop immediately and can again say what is on HIS mind, Trump not the interviewers.
His brusk manner works well for him. Reporters are not used to that style and stands back to give him room. When that happens, the interviewer will be lucky to end his interview in the time allotted. And interestingly, Trump seldom says anything new. He just regurgitates what has come out of his mouth days before.
But, I like him and so do millions of others. When he finally does say something worthwhile, it’s good.
He strong arms people that ask him questions out of the room.
The Ramos incident was improper from the start. Ramos was way out of line and he knew it. This was a sit down press conference where the reporters raise their hand to be called upon. Ramos was yelling a speech and certainly not waiting to be called upon. Are other reporters coming to Ramos's defense?
Really? It is okay for Trump to talk over reporters and punch them on the arm but no one is allowed to talk over him?
This is awesome!
Yes. He can talk over reporters because some of them are trying to do that to him. He
will get his message out. But a talented journalist will keep trying and that usually leads to an answer. one they perhaps weren't looking for, but an answer to the question. I already said he "taps" the journalist in the arm as to get his brain to reset. And by golly, it works.
What person wants to be shouted down. Trump demands respect in a accepted way. He doesn't shout back or get angry. He's a pro.
Isn't that the kind of take charge guy you would want as your leader? Rather than one that doesn't talk to reporters, or walks away when the questions get tough?
