How Not to Ask Questions

On Friday, Donald Trump sat down with Pete Hegseth of Fox and Friends and it was a complete joke. 

As for you up and coming Journalist out there, here are the questions that Hegseth asked the President and how he asked them. 

Ask yourself, if you had a chance to interview Trump, is this the questions you would ask and is this how you would ask them? 

Below are just the questions that he asked and not Trump's answers, because none of those were newsworthy enough to print: 

Pete Hegseth: You’re here in Billings, there’s a big hurricane going on in Washington DC, what is your message to the good people of Montana?

Hegseth: Let’s talk about that little area just a little bit. Folks here may have seen an anonymous column written in the New York Times. And I think this audience would say that an attack on you is an attack on the people that voted for you. Are you any closer to knowing who did it and what should be done if you find out who did it?

Hegseth: Another issue this crowd is often fired up about is the wall. You may – Washington hasn’t been so good at that, there’s another budget showdown coming up. Well congress hasn’t been very good at funding that wall – you’ve got a budget showdown coming out this month. Would you shut down the government if wall funding isn’t included?

Hegseth: Mr. President tonight is the first NFL game. They don’t have as many viewers as they used to. From Colin Kaepernick, to the NFL, to now Nike - who’s going to win this cultural showdown of standing for the anthem?

Hegseth: One more quick question back to Washington, Rudy Giuliani just told the AP that you will not be answering any questions written or in person to the so called special counsel, can you confirm that?

Hegseth: Last question, you’re here in Montana for a reason. I have a feeling you would like to get rid of one Jon Tester and replace him with somebody else. The VA is a personal passion of mine. What happened with Ronny Jackson was a shame. Is that going to be a focus of your remarks?

Just looking at that last question, first of all, as a Journalist, you don't decide if "what happened with Ronny Jackson was a shame", you give the facts and let the viewers decide. 

Also just looking at that last question, it's a good bet that most people could not tell you who Jon Tester or Ronny Jackson are. 

You have a chance to sit down with the most controversial President in history and these are the questions you ask? 

I feel for the real news people at Fox News as they had to watch what was one of the worst interviews ever done.
