He is announcing the new labor secretary nomination, and he is just rambling on and on about how much of a "mess" he inherited, how he just won the biggest electoral college win since Regan, etc.
I'm home with the flu, or I would not be watching this live. I'm not sure what makes my head hurt more--the flu or his rambling, 5th-grade level (being generous there) speech.
UGH!!!!
Four years of this?

Just came out of a shower to hear that. I think I need to go back in.

I guess he's going to use that as his default answer to any question asked, since he also used that as his response to a question about the increasing anti-Semitic activity in the US asked yesterday in his press conference with Netanyahu.

The "good" news is he is again insulting the courts and anyone that has a different opinion than him. That always seems to come back and bite him in the butt.

Holy fuck, his absolute attack on the press was jaw dropping.

I can't listen to this asshole anymore. I'm completely disgusted by his snarky comments and the electoral votes... omg the fucking votes AGAIN! Ramble, ramble,ramble.
I'm home sick too. Now I really feel like crap.

I just cannot bring myself to listen to him talk. I always mute it, and watch the news reports after.

Alexander Acosta, who actually seems to be a really solid pick. Trump must be feeling some pressure to get his crap together. ETA: Then I went on to listen to him actually speak in this press conference and I retract what I said about getting his crap together But, Acosta seems like a remarkably sane, well-considered choice for him.

A lawyer named Accosta. Can't recall the first name. Taught at George Mason law school for a while.

I have a general policy to not listen to this idiot, but I'm so glad I tuned in, cause my resolve to oppose this asshole has been cemented. They obviously created his opening comments with his base in mind, but what they don't seem to comprehend, is he's creating an army just as strong opposed to him. And we won't sit down and shut up.

His Supreme Court will get in one way or another? Hopefully the old fashioned way, with votes

The news reports on him here in general are pretty withering, in a very polite way. The WH is generally recognised as being in chaos and I doubt this press conference will change that opinion.

All his talk, talk, talking about Russia right now....Wonderful, because I can feel the old adage being set, It's not the crime, it's the cover-up. I wasn't ever that concerned about his tax returns, but I'd give up my savings account, retirement account to anyone who could get their hands on them.

Yes! I was not always the biggest fan of President Obama. There were things he did and said at times that did not make me happy. This guy makes me cringe every single time he opens his mouth. He's such an damn liar with the biggest damn ego that I have ever seen. He needs to get over himself. He works for us!!! He needs to be reminded of that. Don't insult my intelligence Trump. I will believe any of that "Fake News" before the crap that comes out of his mouth. I figure it must be true since egomaniac gets all worked up over everything that is said or printed. Like foaming at the mouth worked up.

Do you think, in the end, those media sources that he claims "Fake" "Failing" and "losers" will use that as a badge of honor?

They already do and it's no coincidence that the more Trump bloviates about the media, the more subscriptions at the outlets he impugns rise. NYT, WaPo, etc. are all setting new records for paid subs.

Deny, deny, deny. CNN is so angry. It's everyone else's fault. Deny, deny, deny. Talk in circles. Spin it. BS.
It's exhausting to listen to.

I heard on CBS news last night that he had been quoted as bringing up his electoral college win 3 times in the last 3 days. That would probably include his meetings with Abe,Netanyahu and Trudeau. He is beginning to remind me of Idi Amin: "Idi Amin famously went by the title His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.".

Imagine if he lost - he'd still be squawking about the results. I won't listen - I'm torn between "I have to know what's going on because it's important to know what's going on" and "I will go crazy if I know any more"

He just said that the American public has no idea what is true of not when reported by the press because he's in the middle of it and KNOWS what's true. We should believe him. OMFG. Make it end.
