Twitter Is LOSING IT After Trump Gives Another Train Wreck Press Conference
President Trump just gave one of the wildest press conferences our nation has ever seen. Unhinged and incoherent on every level, highlights include him yelling “NOT GOOD” at a reporter, asking a black reporter to schedule a meeting between him and the Congressional Black Caucus (because all black people know each other?), shouting down a Haaretz reporter for asking about anti-Semitism, saying that the intelligence leaks were real but the news was fake, boasting about his electoral college victory, and ten minutes of ranting and raving about how dishonest the media is.
There are truly no words that can fully explain just what a trainwreck this press conference was. Here are the best takes from journalists and citizens on social media:
Fact checking this Trump press conference is going to take 20 newspaper pages…at least

If you are taking a shot every time Donald Trump says something insane in this press conference I will gladly speak at your imminent funeral

Trump is coming off as a paranoid loon in this press conference. Rambling self-contradictory statements. What an embarrassment to the US.

Trump is now doing TV reviews in the midst of his live press conference. "I watch it," he says, minutes after claiming he doesn't watch CNN.

Trump is literally critiquing the makeup of cable news talking head panels at this press conference. Can't make this stuff up, folks.

This Trump press conference reminds me of a conversation with an angry drunk guy at the bar.

All in all, it was a national humiliation on a level we haven’t seen for decades.
