This journalist’s epic comeback after Trump got the hump with the shooting suspect’s ‘manifesto’ was hilarious and utterly brutal
As no-one anywhere needs telling right now, there’s been another apparent attempt on Donald Trump’s life, this time at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC.
A suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, is set to be charged and was said to have shared a ‘manifesto’ of sorts shortly before the incident.
And it was this manifesto that was naturally brought up by journalist Norah O’Donnell in this sit-down interview with the president for CBS News’ 60 Minutes.
Trump got the hump in spectacular style and O’Donnell’s comeback was hilarious and brutal in equal measure. Which is to say, lots of both.
TRUMP: I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody

Boom!
And when we say it had the whole internet cheering, just for a change that’s not too much of an exaggeration.

Absolutely in TEARS LAUGHING…
Trump: I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.
Norah O’Donnell: Oh, you think he was referring to you?!

Weird how she wasn’t talking about him, but when she said “rapist” and “pedophile” he assumed she was. https://t.co/GXSiXwHzw8

I am so thrilled Norah went there with the pedophile/rapist part of the manifesto. That got under his skin so bad, and I think it threw him off.

He was not exonerated.
Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury of his peers.
He was ordered to pay her over $80 million. https://t.co/BDKd38uAfZ

Can’t fkn stand how this fat asshole CONSTANTLY denigrates and belittles reporters and journalists that are female. He doesn’t do that with the guys, only the women. I’ve seen it in the press gaggles, where he just shits all over them and no journalist or reporter calls it out.
