How is "have you stopped beating your wife?" a trap? You know how it is, despite the fact that the answer should be simple.
But if you stumble on a single word, it will be pounced on and held against you, heck even entertaining it will be used against you, and anyone with a brain knows that "while I'm walking somewhere a random nobody shoves a camera and mic in my face and is asking me a question regarding a mega clusterfuck" is not going to end well for you no matter how you answer.
I know the answer I believe in with passion, but if someone on the road while I was walking asked me about it I'd be equally dismissive and suspicious of his intent.
By merely asking it is primed, because by asking you reveal your own intent is to use their answer against them. Or I suppose for them, if you trust such a journalist wouldn't just cut any answer that doesn't fit his clickbait.
Someone running up on you while you are walking to film themselves asking you one of the most controversial questions around is not someone who is doing it out of neutrality or journalistic information sharing. Its a set up, one way or another, and should be treated as such.
Every question asked by a journalist is intended to be used against you. And?
And the question isn't remotely controversial at all. They are Americans, their first responsibility and duty and loyalty should be to America. No.other nation, including Israel.
And dismissing them is the right move 100% of the time for that reason. Like I said initially, the guys who humored them at all should be lambasted for being so retarded they did so rather than any answer they gave.
And the question isn't remotely controversial at all.
Except we live in reality where it is, even if we really don't like it, its a dangerous topic to speak off the cuff on. The same way "I am pro-white" has been for a long time, even if obviously any white person should be and many are.

Those aren't remotely the same. "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Implies you ever started beating your wife.the question is primed.
"Which is more important to you, the US or Israel" isn't primed.
