Former President Trump had a lot to say about President Biden’s first formal press conference. After the press relentlessly argued, back-talked, and attacked the Trump administration for four years it wasn’t difficult to see the stark difference between the media’s treatment of Biden. During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump obliterated Biden’s “softball” press conference and the recent meeting with Chinese diplomats.
The Daily Wire reports:
“Well, they were strange questions, and they were asked in a very interesting way,” Trump said during an interview on Fox News. “It was like softballs, like you are throwing softballs up, and it’s just a different world. Nobody has seen anything like it. You know it. You know it better than anybody. You cover it so well. And it’s very sad to watch, actually, they are feeding him questions. They are easy questions. I noticed Peter Doocy didn’t get to ask a question today.”
“And there could be no difficult questions. And they were ready to rip the microphone away if somebody did get a little bit testy,” Trump added. “You know, he just, look, the whole thing is ridiculous. You know it, and so do I.”
The interview then shifted to a recent meeting between Chinese officials and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken which went off the rails. Chinese officials blasted Blinken and the U.S. for its issue combatting racism, leaving the U.S. embarrassed and looking weak. Laura Ingraham asked the former president if he ever encountered such treatment during tense meetings with China, especially giving his contentious relationship with the country.
“We never had anything like that happen. That was an embarrassment. It was an absolute embarrassment to our country,” Trump responded. “I could not believe it. I couldn’t believe the meeting. Even the location. So many different elements of what took place when they started and they went on and on and on.”
“Nobody ever talked to my group that way. Nobody ever talked to me that way. I can tell you that,” Trump said. “And if they did, I would have doubled up the tariffs, which frankly, were something we probably should have done anyway.”
