    LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He can read just like Karine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Verdant Patel should've participated in the Olympics Opening Parody of the Last Supper. He fits right in with that demonic troupe.
  • What the f@ck is the point of a briefing if you aren't actually saying anything. Waste of time don't bother watching.
  • @marleydog.M
    He even sounds like her. They must have had the same trainer!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to speak to that. Sounds so familiar!!!
  • What's the point of asking questions to somebody that isn't capable of giving you a straight answer?
  • I'm not gonna get into details, I'm not gonna go into specifics... why the hell are you here?
  • @fjp1399
    PROPAGANDA ...A PERSON READING / RECITING A MEASURED RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS. IS IT AI ...? Very FAST RESPONSES... DISGUSTING ..
  • @agnesk1316
    Blabla blablabla and more blabla. The sad state of affairs…
  • @farcenter
    He would have been much better cast in Big Bang Theory than this role.
  • @GML_123.
    Wish we had a president that could head over there with urgency and avoid this becoming an all out war.
  • Remember the phones are listening. Tell them exactly what you think.
  • How quickly he lays blame when it’s not israel without a shred of proof 😂
  • @farcenter
    I hope the world knows we are made of better stuff than this guy. I think most High School teachers could do this job better and with more command.
  • Some constructive feedback: 1. Less smug when people ask for transparency. 2. Less smirking when topics are about humanitarian crisis. 3. Adopt ur own speaking style, dont be the other guy's protege. Is this a workplace culture problem? 4. Have some shareable details of substantial quality, most of these PR meetings are just turning into big nothing-burgers. 5. Heading over to foreign news outlets by country to pick up much of the details "ur not allowed to share." Which doesn't foster confidence that we can rely on you for the facts. 6. Share feedback with decision maker who writes your transcripted speeches.
