President Donald Trump held a press conference on Friday at a room in his country club in Bedminster that had guests in the back. A reporter told the president that they aren't properly socially distancing, standing six feet apart, but Trump said it was okay because it is a "peaceful protest." The guests audibly booed the reporter and applauded for the president after his protest quip.
"If the press in this country were honest and wasn't corrupt, if it wasn't fake, our country would be so much further ahead. But we're doing really great," Trump said before concluding the presser.

I think he will/could do very well during debate, quick thinking on his feet, and funny to boot.
Perfect!
I can’t wait for the debate!
There won’t be any debate, Joe was be ordered to cash it in and will be replaced by probably Killer Cuomo.
I truly love this President!
He should have said “mostly peaceful protest” and it would have been perfect. :)
I love our President.
I wish a diet of burgers and diet cokes did as well for me. I’d be a friggin’ genius. He is one!
Only if the guests subsequently got to rearrange the attitudes (if not the faces) of the fifth-column leftist enemydia. ;-)
Another great Trump moment.
I think he will/could do very well during debate, quick thinking on his feet, and funny to boot.
Yep, compare the responses:
Reporter: "Why aren't your guests social distancing?"
Trump: "It's a peaceful protest."
Reporter: "Why aren't your guests social distancing?"
Biden: "Well...uh...Corn Pop, who was a real bad dude, once told me...uhhmm...when you social distance...then you are at a distance socially...and...well you know the thing."
Well, folks, not only Trump made a funny come-backer with “It’s A Peaceful Protest”, he also managed to chastise the whole media (to the extent our media is able to feel any compunction, “some” have their doubts about it) -
“If the press in this country were honest and wasn’t corrupt, if it wasn’t fake, our country would be so much further ahead.”
And the later part of Trump’s comment is the main point.
Sweet!
you are half right. there will not be a debate but I think it’s too late to swap Joe. MSM is in full protect mode for him. The DNC will probably put poison pill conditions for any debate. MSM will give Biden cover by saying “Trump was unwilling to debate using conditions Biden has already agreed to”.
Trump is running against Biden, a corrupt press and China...
When he wins in November the lamestream media will encourage rioting... Just like they did last time, but watch the final week of the election... They’ll be threatening rioting to discourage voters from voting. Voter suppression like you’ve never seen before but it won’t work. Trump voters are motivated... Biden’s voters will be the ones staying home.
It really is refreshing to have a president with a sense of humor.
Why doesn’t the President or one of his staff just tell the Left Wing Press the truth - that the 6 foot “social distancing” is BS made up by disgraced British Scientist Neil Ferguson. Most of what the UK followed for their lock-down was made up by Ferguson. There was no science behind any of it.
Could anyone, even in a fevered nightmare, imagine Joey Fingers coming up with such a clever quip?
Hardly, if not never..
booed and laughed at the twit...
