China will watch this. Russia will watch this. North Korea will watch this. ISIS will watch this. And they will all laugh and realize that Trump is in the process of tearing the USA apart at the seams.
Those countries will likely be surprised by the bored hyperactive child that is the modern day news cycle. Drop in the bucket sure, but I don't see it tipping just yet.

Have you watched it yet? Far and away the 2nd most insane and surreal political press conference I've ever seen. The 1st being Budd Dwyer of course
Weirder yet is that it was an impromptu Q&A session. That's weird as **** for a president.

Quote:
It's telling that David Duke immediately took to Twitter to gushingly thank Trump for what he said. Mark my word, this ****storm is not going away anytime soon and the fallout is going to be severe.
I give it a week. News stories don't last that long these days.

Did you see where Trump yesterday tweeted a cartoon of a train crashing into a person with a CNN bobble head? This just days after a neo-nazi crashed into a crowd and killed someone?
This is breaching new levels of my not caring. I bet he didn't even catch the connection tbh.

Have you seen it?

There's news stories, and then every now and then there's a NEWS story.

No matter what Trump has done in the past, he's had apologists. So far, hours after the fact, not a single GOP politician or member of Trump's staff are expressing anything but absolute shock.

Trump's going to go to bed tonight and pray that North Korea fires off a nuke. That's the only thing that could make this go away anytime soon.

Have you seen it?

Just saw a picture of the new Chief of Staff John Kelly standing behind Trump while he was ranting, and the guy looked like he wanted to bum rush Trump and pummel the guy.

Richard Spencer just tweeted: Thank you Mr. Trump for your honesty.
