Fuming and Nasty Trump Just Stormed Off From Briefing After Refusing to Answer CNN Reporter’s Question

By

During a press conference in the Rose Garden today at the White House, the longer Donald Trump went, the more contentious and nasty he got.

He may have wanted the message to be testing, and yet again, Trump got in his own way.

Trump was asked what his projection as to what the death toll would look like and Trump said he didn’t want to even think about it, he said that they blocked people early – the one and only thing he’s done, and he is sure to tell us that he was “by himself on that one” and thus Trump saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

He is just so damned proud of himself:

We reached the point in the press conference where Trump was just speaking to hear himself talk:

Asked if he was considering separating himself from Mike Pence as a precautionary measure, Trump said that Pence tested “negative” and that during this “quarantine” period it’s something that they’ll consider. (So Pence is quarantining, unlike what we heard earlier in the day).

Trump was asked what crime Obama should be accused of – Trump speaks in generalities, challenged to say what the crime would be that he would charge Obama with, Trump says “You know exactly what crime if you read the papers except yours.”

Trump doesn’t know what he’d charge Obama with, he’s talking out of his ass, and this will be the story going forward, as MAGA-heads all over the country just orgasmed, and the rest of us won’t eat for a week.

Yes, it’s so obvious he can’t tell us what it might be.

We really don’t know whether Trump is just playing a MAGA head game or a very dangerous game here, but to accuse a former president of a crime is at a level beyond which we’d have ever contemplated. He is moving into very dangerous territory:

Even generalizing about it is dangerous.

And people act like this is nothing. Of course, Trump is the one that accused Obama of being born in Kenya, too.

Trump then broke down when Trump went after an Asian reporter why he asked her to go ask China (she was Asian): Trump said don’t ask me, go ask China. The reporter asked him why he told her to go ask China (she was Asian) and he said he is telling everyone.

Trump then refused to take a question from CNN – and as the CNN reporter began to ask her question, Trump called an end to the press conference. It was the least presidential moment in his presidency. He looked like a little baby, and then pulled a Kayleigh McEnany – when he didn’t like what was happening, he ended the press conference.

This is what it is, right here:

Just watch this, pure nastiness:

****

Peace, y’all
