Maybe the journalist asked the question we all think (well not some of course) needs to be asked repeatedly until he actually does it and not like it’s some fing joke.

Donald Trump joked with Vladimir Putin about getting rid of journalists



the US president lightheartedly sought common ground with Putin at the expense of the journalists around them in Osaka.
“Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn’t it? You don’t have this problem in Russia but we do,” Trump said.

Twenty-six journalists have been murdered in Russia since Putin first became president

but ya its only a joke so its 100% ok for Trump supporters

Maybe the "journalist" could choose a better time and place to belligerently shout out the question that is used as a talking point, dog whistle, mantra, to make Trump look bad.

What is Trump supposed to do, threaten Putin if he meddles in our elections? Would that have any effect? Are we going to stop meddling in other countries affairs? This sort of meddling has been going on forever and will continue forever. Trying to negotiate cooperation on various international problems with someone will not go well if it is done belligerently.

Trump's Secretary of State, has warned Russia not to meddle in our 2020 elections. Trump has not repudiated that warning. Message sent. He doesn't have to confront Putin personally about it while trying to establish a ground on which the two can manage to cooperate on other Matters.

The "journalist" was putting on a show. A show that you applaud. A stupid show.
