1. There is that approach.
When one is falsely accused, one can just inflate the accusations to a degree of unbelievable absurdity.

In many instances, it's really effective.

2. Gotta love it...
He points out their hypocrisy with cool wit. You've got to admire a man who, thwarted, vilified, and lied about at every turn, can remain the 'only adult in the room'.
A part of me wishes he'd blow up but, as he has said (paraphrasing), they can say inflammatory things and it's a news cycle, but when the president says such things, markets react, other countries react -- and what he says has consequences, so he must be careful. Just once though....

5. It is amazing
that the press has not given this more attention but then again it is a "back in your face" response to pretty boy and new media favorite, Paul Ryan.
