Don’t hijack the thread with your anti Trump diatribe.Trump abruptly ended his Monday press conference after a contentious exchange in which he asked an Asian-American journalist to "ask China" about her question and then refused to take a query from another White House reporter.
“We have met the moment and we have prevailed,” Trump said at one point. Questioned by a reporter about the remark, Trump admitted, “You never prevail when you have 90,000 people, 100,000 people, when you have 80,000 people [dead] as of today. That’s not prevailing.” He later said he was referring to the amount of tests that have been administered.
Even that he wrong. Trump claimed that any American who wants to get tested can get a test. Adm. Brett Giroir, who is supervising the testing on the federal level, corrected the President. He said any American who needs to get tested can get a test. Trump repeated his lie after Giroir finished.
Leaving the most absurd for last, Trump accused a former President of a serious crime. Referring to his tweet on Sunday accusing Obama of “the biggest political crime in American history, by far,” Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker asked Trump, “What crime exactly are you accusing President Obama of committing and do you believe the Justice Department should prosecute him?”
Trump replied, “Obamagate. it’s been going on for a long time. It’s a disgrace that it happened. And if you look at what’s gone on and if you look at now all of this information that’s being released, and from what I understand that’s only the beginning, some terrible things happened.”
Rucker asked to what specific crime he’s referencing, Trump said, “You know what the crime is, the crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.”
“You’ll be seeing what’s going on in the coming weeks,” he said. “I wish you’d write honestly about it.”
Imagine that, Trump is so stupid as to accuse a former President of a serious crime, but he can't define what it is.
No wonder his supporters avoid him. Now they should ask themselves a serious question. Why in the world am I supporting this idiot?
