Former US President Donald Trump accused the press of asking questions that were as easy and soft as softball at the first official press conference after President Joe Biden took office.

On the 26th (local time), the political media The Hill reported in this way that former President Trump said in an interview with Fox News the night before that “they were strange questions and were asked in a very interesting way.”

In response to questions and answers from President Biden and the press, former President Trump said, “It was like throwing a softball up. It’s just a different world.” No one has ever seen anything like that.”

Former President Trump also pointed out that although several media have been asked to question, Fox News has not been given the opportunity to ask questions. “The only questions the reporters asked President Biden were easy questions,” he said. “It’s very sad to see them in action.” “Look, you know and I know that everything is ridiculous.”

President Biden held an official press conference for the first time in 64 days after taking office, answering questions from reporters about North Korea, China, the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine and the re-election of the presidential election in 2024. At the first official press conference held that day, 25 reporters attended, and 10 asked questions in 62 minutes.

The Hill said that although Fox News was not among the questioners at the conference the day before, President Biden received a total of 31 questions from major media and presented views on a variety of topics.

When Trump was in office, he had a bad relationship with the media. Although I had frequent contact with reporters, when I was asked a question I didn’t like, I was openly dissatisfied and argued. Reports that I didn’t like were labeled’fake news’.

Former President Trump was sanctioned by the social media industry for advocating, aiding, or encouraging violence during his supporters’ parliamentary riots in January. In addition to the favorite Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have been suspended.

“I think that’s better,” he shuddered about when social media became unavailable after being expelled from online platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Rather than touching social media platforms, they said they would release a press release.
