Exhibit Trump says he has no dealings with Russia, which has been disproven on multiple occasions.

Literally follows it up with "But Hillary!" and the victim complex that he would get the death penalty. I wonder where the cue comes from...

Exhibit E: A reporter thankfully picks up on his "I love Wikileaks" comment. Trump lies that the Clinton emails were not classified information, then plays the victim card over his meltdown in the debates.

Nobody follows up on it.

Verbal diarrhoea...

If I was that reporter I'd get up and walk out.

"Well get him." Trump is a maniac.

Worst possible thing to do. All that achieves is a press conference where the only people around to ask questions are the likes of Fox, Breitbart, etc.

He basically called the show and CNN as a network a disaster and pointed out the guy who asked the question.

Continuing to double down on the leaks being real, but anybody talking about them being a liar. You actually couldn't make this nonsense up. Just wall to wall nonsense, exactly as everybody knew it would be.

And if you step aside and let them continue it, you'll be lucky if it only continues for 8 more years, never even mind 4. The press are sitting there like meek children, they should be constantly challenging his endless lies out there en masse, it's a president when it should sound like the House of Commons in Westminster to be honest.

Itssoeasy

Trump was obviously looking up what uranium was and decided to let people know.

Itssoeasy

Not good!!!!!

Major garret of cbs news was silly to keep talking.

Itssoeasy

Jesus Christ you won the ****ing election donald. Stop bringing up Hillary Clinton.

He's just worked out he is a politician.

Exhibit F:

And this isn't including the lies he has repeated 3 or 4 times yet.

Itssoeasy

It is actually like he's in campaign mood again.

Exhibit A: Just saw a Tweet that Trump said he got more EC votes than anyone since Raegan (marking at least the 5th time in a week he has felt the insecure need to bring up that he won the election). He didn't... he actually had the lowest number of EC votes of anyone to win the election since 1972.

Exhibit B: He then said the 9th Circuit Court is overturned in record numbers. Also false.

Trump is obviously a Moran and lying with every word.

However I have to call this out. Surely gwb got less in 2000? Or did I miss something?

Billy86

Trump on Russia testing arms etc in recent days: we need to be their friends.

...then he goes on to say his presidency is going to be one of secrecy. And makes vague threats to BOTH Iran and North Korea.

Itssoeasy

"A very smooth roll out of the travel ban." Ah lads it's like a Punch and Judy show.

The BBC guy got shouted down.

Itssoeasy

The press seem to be working together to get an answer. Good luck on that.

Ah, you're right, messed up - Bush was 271 and 288 (I remembered him doing a good bit better in 2004 with the Iraq War in full swing)... http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781450.html

They have to try. He deflects like nobody's business and drifts back to winning the election every chance he gets, frequently when he doesn't get the chance as well.

Poor from him, but at least he forced Trump to shout him down - as every reporter not being directly answered (so pretty much every reporter) should be constantly doing.

Trump having a temper tantrum that someone who backed him during the campaign isn't throwing him softballs.

Itssoeasy

This is a utter mess. The reporters will be going to a bar after this and just going for rounds. Well I would.

Itssoeasy

This is sureal.

What the hell is going on here?

One of the most amazing things I have even seen. Couldn't turn it off.

Itssoeasy

Did I dream this or did president trump just try to get a black reporter to set up a meeting with the black caucus in the us congress ? He's the president FFS.

Frank Bullitt

...I don't know what just happened
