This press conference is pure, unmitigated psychopathy on display.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

This is a direct examination into a very seriously disturbed mind.

[gopiscrap]

1. No kidding

[olegramps]

32. I turned him off. I just can't stand to listen to him.

[elmac]

37. a short clip of the criminal thug coming unglued

Link to tweet

[AJT]

2. Sadly, 40% of the country disagrees.

[WiffenPoof]

49. Trump Isn't The Problem

It's those who support him and believe everything he says.

[Cha]

54. All of them.. there's no scenario

imv where trump isn't the problem.. along with his doormats.

[qazplm135]

51. And another 6-8 percent

Agree but go along for other reasons.

[madaboutharry]

3. He is mentally ill.

Those around him and near him know this and they work hard to cover it up.

Unfortunately for his enablers, they can't hide him in the attic.

[2naSalit]

4. The silver lining being...

that all of what he says can and will be used in court. This should get interesting really soon. Glad it's winter here now, I can snuggle up and watch the shitsweeper remove all that ooblek from our halls of governance.

[leanforward]

5. I had to leave the room.

He is disturbed. The whole "briefing" is nuts.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I just turned it on 5 min ago...is he NUTS?????

I usually change the channel ASAP when he speaks, bit I am mesmerized. He is acting insane. I can't turn it off now...How long has this been on TV? Has he sounded crazy the whole time??

[Funtatlaguy]

7. This reminds me of the Truman show. Everything is about one person.

Our malignant narcissistic leader.
And we can’t look away at how horrendous it is and how it gets worse.

[Vinca]

8. I'm afraid I scared the cat by laughing so loudly at this asshole.

"I think everybody likes me." Jeez . . . trying for a Sally Field moment.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. I actually cheered when that one reporter called him out on his African American approval numbers.

This is so surreal.

[nolabear]

15. Right? I am praying for a line by line fact check.

[maxsolomon]

10. I just might have to watch it after work

Schadenfreude is just Human Nature

[spanone]

11. I've lost so many IQ points just watching this fucker

excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,excuse me, excuse me,

[Tanuki]

12. Unbelievable how he repeatedly berated Yamiche Alcindor for asking "a racist question" when she

brought up his characterization of himself as a Nationalist!

[maxsolomon]

13. Gaslighting 101

He doesn't even have to think about it; it comes natural to a Sociopath

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. That and the Acosta/Alexander exchange were the two biggest jaw droppers. nt

[nolabear]

17. And his inability to understand any foreign accent.

He just vamped every time after having no idea what they’d asked.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. And his reference to the "Obama regime"

....which apparently was responsible for invading Crimea.

[nolabear]

21. To be fair regimes are all he understands.

If he could wear a uniform you know he would.

[lunatica]

26. With at least a dozen stars for the generalsimo!

[Tanuki]

23. He said in the past that Obama was the "founder of ISIS"

[musette_sf]

24. oh, he understands foreign accents

if they're talking about currency

[nolabear]

25. Or if they're Russian.

[geardaddy]

53. Or if they're a potential wife.

[IronLionZion]

38. That's why he marries foreign women

he has no idea what they're saying to him. They could be calling him out on his BS and he wouldn't understand it.

[unitedwethrive]

16. It will be on the film real of his historically corrupt presidency

Every time he does one of these, it is just more evidence. Always remember that history, and morality, are on our side.

[GusBob]

19. Philip Francis Queeg redux

pass the strawberries

[smirkymonkey]

20. I just saw it and couldn't believe my ears.

He is barking mad.

[TNLib]

22. What little I saw was an absolute shit show

Makes you wonder how any sane person can watch that and feel proud that they support him.

[malaise]

27. Media folks have to walk out

This is madness

[Mad-in-Mo]

28. That was what I said --- they need to all walk out.

And the TV coverage needs to stop.

[malaise]

29. But they're making money

[pangaia]

47. KACHING !!!!

[JohnnyLib2]

30. He's become a god in his own mind.

Winners and losers--all through his power. "I only have me."

Repent, you sinners!

[dameatball]

31. I try not to watch him. Maybe this time I should have.

[LittleGirl]

33. I refuse to watch him

Belittle and demand respect when he deserves none. That shit show that I have seen clips of was a disgrace to the office of the president. He needs to go.

[johnnyfins]

34. no, the press conference was deliberate.

This is what he does. Have long press conference, go after fakenews. Cause as much distraction as possible, and then tweet(right after the press conference)that sessions has been asked to resign.

Im starting to think that there was more to the rosenstein meeting than we thought. Good luck seeing anything more from Mueller.

[study war no more]

35. Grrrr

And to make sure the focus isn't on the House turning blue, Sessions 'resigns'. And the press eats it up.

[elmac]

36. he looks unglued in this vid, a criminal thug

Link to tweet

[karin_sj]

39. Who is this fucking idiot trying to grab the mic?

Good grief, are we living in a banana republic now where the press can only ask questions that the asshole-in-chief wants to answer? I can't even believe this.

[johnnyfins]

40. methinks we are

At one point, trumplethinskin backs off the mic. I LOVE that Jim Acosta(who is a vey good reporter, btw) doesn't get rattled and keeps going. TRUTH TO POWER.

[red dog 1]

43. Welcome to DU!

[Susan Calvin]

41. I am right now sitting next to

A Trumpster rude enough to talk on her phone in a doctor's waiting room who thinks the press was rude to him. She called them a mob.

[LuckyCharms]

42. Stare a hole into her while having an expressionless face.

[Susan Calvin]

44. I went with eyeroll.

Couldn't help it. It was a reflex.

[LuckyCharms]

46. That's good too lol

[saidsimplesimon]

45. I would not be surprised

to find out his FBI profile would mirror that of a psychopath.

[red dog 1]

48. "Trump says he would take a "warlike posture" if House Democrats investigate him"

(WaPo headline)

I say, "Bring it, asshole!"

[watoos]

50. He openly threatened the press,

threatened Republicans, and threatened Democrats because he knew he was about to fire Jeff Sessions and put in his crony in Rosenstein's place with the purpose of ending the Mueller investigation.

The time is now folks, no more civility, Trump is not above the law.

[dawg day]

52. Doing the cocaine sniff again--

Of course, we wouldn't be able to tell if he was high or not, because he's so unhinged all the time.
