Media asked him so many times if he knew about pre election Russian contacts

I really, really think that they know there is more to come from the pre-election contact news...and they made damn sure that they ALL asked him the same question over and over so he couldn't say his misspoke, etc... to a single question.

I kept waiting for the post-presser breaking news to be drumf himself being caught red handed on the phone with Russia pre-election.

Have contacts there. They've been reporting that for months...just need to find evidence of collusion.

He's so egotistical, he makes every question about him. Weird.

They know/knew he would go off the rail and in the end it will be part of his undoing. Whoever sent him out there knows how badly it would go for him...but being the puppet that he is, he fell for it.

his own nut show. Aides were cringing, and I read that the congressional jaws were dropping. Donald got his freak on in full public view.

say "You're God damned right I ordered the code red" . Keep asking again and again until they lead him away in handcuffs.

This was before the election. How can he now deny it?

I know--he's living in his alternate reality.

it's helpful to keep going back to a critical question more than once. you try to phrase it in a different way but its the same issue. people will often elaborate and you learn more. unless they stick with yes or no responses. but trump likes to blather which is most helpful to an interviewer.

the truth about all this comes out. Everyone except the most inbred of the deplorables knows he's lying through his teeth and out his ass.
