On Monday, a Washington correspondent for New York Magazine fired off a particularly nasty question at President Trump, asking, “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died over the entirety of the Vietnam war, does he deserve to be reelected?”
Olivia Nuzzi’s vitriol triggered Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary to President George W. Bush, and as adroit and intelligent as anyone who has ever served in that position, to rip Nuzzi, tweeting, “It’s clown questions like this that can make the briefing a waste of time. The only point of that question was to provoke. Not learn anything new. Not provide information to viewers. The point was to get under Trump’s skin. Good to see potus rose above and didn’t take the bait.”
