It’s wild to me that Trump doesn’t understand being given a chance to answer hard questions is what makes most politicians WANT to talk to reporters. Because they’ve been briefed on what tough questions will likely come up and thus have a chance to give a rehearsed answer to the attacks their opponents make against their campaign. It’s a free platform to respond to criticism.

But he’s too stupid to prepare answers and so he hears a tough question and gets mad.

Edit: “WANT to talk to reporters” in the strategic sense. It’s probably pretty frustrating or exasperating, but it’s important.
