https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/08/politics/donald-trump-press-conference/index.htmlThis asshole is simply batshit crazy insane (and that is the nicest thing I could come up with)
(CNN)Donald Trump has had a week!
Transcripts of closed-door testimony from a series of witnesses in front of the House Intelligence Committee seem to affirm the idea that a quid pro quo was in place between the US and Ukraine. He was ordered by a judge in New York to pay $2 million as restitution for using his Trump Foundation charity as a slush fund for his political interests. Elections in Kentucky and Virginia suggested Democratic momentum in 2018 hasn't worn off. He lost an appeal to keep his taxes from being released. And on and on it goes.
And so it was a very frustrated President who greeted reporters Friday morning before jetting off to Atlanta. I went through the transcript of Trump's remarks -- they stretched for almost a half hour -- and took note of some of his more outlandish lines. They're below.
1. "I just told them I've got to come over and see the fake news. Let's go."
I feel like this suggests Trump reads my recaps of his press conferences and speeches. Speaking of which: And away we go!
2. "I'm not concerned about anything."
Same.

All of his speeches and press conferences are just like this.
It's nothing new - this is how he talks every time he opens his mouth. Stream of consciousness lying. That's how he's racked up 15k lies in three years.

No, really. I can't get through them all. At first it's amusing, but somewhere between 12 and 18 the nausea sets in.
