Someone needs to explain to Trump what a press conference actually is. The idea is to take questions from journalists, not deliver a long, rambling self-aggrandizing monologue that sounds like a malignant narcissist free-associating to his therapist. But that's what constituted most of the proceedings, with Trump predictably touting his administration's accomplishments, both real and imagined , and complaining, darn it, that he's just not getting enough praise.
"I didn't do it, I didn't threaten anybody," he protested, sounding like a two-bit hoodlum who's just been arrested. He went on to quote a past CNN story about Democratic senators pressuring Ukraine to stop corruption, failing to appreciate the irony of whom he was citing. Apparently, it's only fake news when it suits him.
Oh, and he eventually got around to taking a few questions. Asked how he would feel if Barack Obama had asked a foreign government to dig up information about him, Trump brought up…his poll numbers. And his electoral college victory. "That's a much different race than the popular vote," the civics teacher-in-chief reminded us. And that the Democrats are "very dishonest people" and mostly "radical, far-left socialists, or worse.
