Trump's latest press gaggle was remarkably nasty, even by his standards
Trump’s latest press gaggle was remarkably nasty, even by his standards
https://www.vox.com/2019/1/10/18176939/trump-border-press-gaggle
Over the course of roughly 15 minutes, Trump poured scorn on several groups of people — including Democrats, the media, and undocumented immigrants. For the second-straight day, he also undercut the case he’s trying to make that the situation at the border warrants a national emergency declaration.
“The Democrats, which I’ve been saying all along, they don’t give a damn about crime,” the president said. “They don’t care about gang members coming in and stabbing people and cutting people up.”
“They’ve been taken over by a group of young people, who frankly, in some cases, I’ve been watching, I actually think they’re crazy,” he said. “They have been taken over by a group of people that don’t care about gangs, they don’t care about human trafficking and drugs — they don’t care about anything.”
Asked by a reporter to specify at which point in history he thinks a crisis on the southern border began, Trump instead went on the attack against the press.
“Look, you can all play cute, and I’d say 80 percent of you are possibly in cooperation with the opposition party,” Trump said. “I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.”

But, only in the hypothetical South of the Border case.
When it was the Saudis actually cutting someone up... Crickets. Amazing. 
Yawn...
