S.V. Date, Media Rock Star

 Now, Even Trump Knows Who He Is

For some reason, Donald Trump keeps coming into the White House press room to do briefings. You could ask "When will he ever learn," but you know the answer to that.

Still, he must have been having fever dreams about wanting to be Turkish strongman Recep Erdogan or Belarus despot Alexander Lukashenko after Huff Post White House Correspondent S.V. Date asked a question many wished they had the cojones to ask and which the Twittersphere rightly wondered why it had not been asked sooner. "Mr. President, after three-and-a-half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you have done to the American people?" 

Trump pretended to have a hearing problem. "That who has done?" To which Date replied, "That you have done."

Trump apparently heard that and moved on to another questioner. No other reporters decided to follow along Date's line of questioning.

Still, pretty cool, right?

Heavy.com immediately disgorged five fast facts about the Indian-born Date, including that the guy is quite the sailor. Thinking right about now, Trump would like to send Date on a one-way trip home, and we don't mean Washington.
