Claims to be a veteran of news conferences, but hasn't given one for six months because of alleged inaccurate reporting. Which he didn't see fit to correct by holding a presser.

Waah, waah, waah. I remember every slight, real or imagined. Won't name Buzzfeed or CNN, but he has great respect for freedom of the press "and all of that." Pats the rest of the media on the head, and starts patting himself on the back for a lot of stuff he didn't have anything to do with.

Did you get full information from the intelligence agencies, and do you accept their information?

Diversionary answer, back to complaining about fake news, lots of allegations, but no indication how he knows any of that. Concedes that Russia might have hacked something somewhere, but doesn't know squat-ah about any of it. Now he admits that computer experts can figure these things out.

Claims the DNC left itself open to be hacked, but doesn't explain how he knows that.

332. Ultimately, tariffs just raise prices for consumers
Wed Jan 11, 2017, 02:47 PM
Jan 2017

and the countries we impose tariffs on with impose them on us, which will hit American manufacturers who export goods, which will ultimately mean a loss of jobs and tax revenue from the employees and corporations.

Not to mention, saving US manufacturing jobs is great, but strictly temporary. Half of those jobs will be lost to automation in the next 20 years and there's really nothing to stop that.

Loading up on all of it. It's not unusual to see foreigners going back with piles and piles of stuff because we have cheaper prices. I think the average Trump voter is foremost a selfish grubby little creature and this would hit them where it matters most. Cool with me. Just hope the proceeds don't go to a stupid wall.

will buy right into the idea that the actual Press is fake news. They've been primed for this for years by Fox, Rush Limbaugh, the "liberal media" meme, the whole of the GOP, etc..

They'll eat up Alex Jones as gospel and mock science and facts as lies.

My thinking is he already knew they were and let slip something he knew and was supposed to keep quiet about. A habit of his. Which is why he can't be trusted with intel. He can't keep a secret, especially one that he thinks will boost his ego by thinking he knows something other people don't.

Mentally, he's a child....and not a particularly bright one either.
