If you had the chance to ask Donald Trump a question, what would you ask him?
One reporter knew exactly what question he wanted to ask Trump, and he didnt hesitate to do so during Thursdays press briefing at the White House. During a now-viral clip, S.V. Dte, who is the Huffington Post’s White House correspondent, went viral online after he was seen asking Trump if he regretted lying to Americans during his presidency.
Dte said, Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying youve done to the American people?
Confused by the question, Trump responded, All the what? Dte made clear on his question and said, All the lying, all the dishonesties.
Not registering what was taking place, Trump asked, That who has done? To which Dte said, YOU have done.
However, Trump only ignored the question and then looked to answer another question from another reporter.
Dte spoke with The Guardian about the moment and said, I dont know why he called on me, because Ive tried to ask him before. and hes cut me off mid-question. Maybe he didnt recognize me this time. You know, he has this group of folks that he normally asks questions of.
He continued, I had always thought that if he ever did call on me, this is the one thing that is really central to his presidency.
Dte pretty sure that hell be allowed back into the press briefing room, and if Trump again decides to call on him to ask a question, he says hell say, Mr. President, you didnt answer last time. Could you address why youve told whatever the number will be by then.
