This one was my favorite:
Q: That was President Putin who annexed Crimea, sir.
Trump: That was President Obama’s regime. That was during President Obama, right? That was not during me.
Q: It was President Putin, sir, who did the annexation.
Trump: No, no. It was President Obama that allowed it to happen.
Although this one was pretty good too:
. It’s racist to ask about racism. A black reporter noted that at recent campaign rallies, Trump had declared himself a nationalist. “Some people saw that as emboldening white nationalists,” the reporter observed. Trump interrupted her: “I don’t know why you’d say that. That’s such a racist question.” The reporter tried to finish her question, but Trump shot her down. “That’s such a racist question,” he said. “That’s a racist question.”
Trump’s performance was nutty, incoherent, self-absorbed, and full of lies. In short, it was a lot like his other public appearances. But there was one difference: This time, he was speaking a day after voters attempted, through a massive purge of House Republicans, to send him and his party a message. Clearly, he’s not getting the message. The people and their representatives will have to speak louder.
