President Trump projected an air of calm on Wednesday after charges against his former campaign chief and a foreign policy aide roiled Washington, insisting to The New York Times that he was not “angry at anybody” and that investigations into his campaign’s links to Russia had not come near him personally.

“I’m not under investigation, as you know,” Mr. Trump said in a brief telephone call to The Times late Wednesday afternoon. Pointing to the indictment of his former campaign chief, Paul Manafort, the president said, “And even if you look at that, there’s not even a mention of Trump in there.”

“It has nothing to do with us,” Mr. Trump said.

He also pushed back against a report published Monday night by The Washington Post, which the president said described him as “angry at everybody.”

donald tRump claims to have a world-class memory, but it certainly wasn't on display during his deposition for a lawsuit over Trump University.

"I don't remember," tRump told lawyers 35 times during his December testimony, which was released on Wednesday. - NBC News

11. Im not under investigation, as you know,

I'm sure that Special Prosecutor Mueller hasn't divulged the avenues of his investigation to you let alone a reporter for the NYT. So Haberman should have said that "we don't know that". The pResident, aka Orange Menace, was just trying to create a false stipulation. Or as he likes to say "Fake News".

Resist!

12. He would occasionally interrupt the conversation to bite a stick.

13. I figured this was a Haberman piece before I opened the thread.

14. It has nothing to do with us, Mr. Trump said.

Really? The three people mentioned w/the criminal charges two of whom have been indicted
and one who has pled guilty all of them worked for the Trump campaign and all three are linked
to Russia and that vindicates Trump how?

17. LOL, he's obviously FREAKED OUT
