Donald Trump’s press conference today was a flaming dumpster fire of racist psychotic lunacy
Donald Trump’s press conference today was difficult to even categorize. At one point he accused an Asian-looking reporter of “working for China.” At another point he attacked Senator Chuck Schumer for no apparent reason. He also seemed surprised to learn that HHS has an Inspector General. But if you’re looking for one moment that sums up just how clueless Trump is, look no further than his interaction with Jon Karl.
After Jon Karl asked a question that Donald Trump didn’t like, Trump called him a “third rate reporter” and a “disgrace.” Trump then insisted that Karl “will never make it” as a White House correspondent. Wait, does Trump think Karl is some kind of rookie?
Jon Karl has been with ABC News for seventeen years. He’s been a White House correspondent for as long as Donald Trump has been in office. In fact Karl is the current President of the White House Correspondents’ Association. It seems pretty clear that Karl “made it.” What stands out here is that Trump appeared to think Karl was some brand new reporter he’d never seen before. Just how far gone are Trump’s cognitive abilities?
