This administration lurches from 1 crisis to the next, covering up one bad stench with a different one. Vote.

Trump doesn't strategize. They're trying to make out like his news conference was strategic. No. He needed to get in front of people and rant and he wanted everyone to hear it because that's who he is and what he does.

[danwood]

That was absolute nonesense he has clearly lost his mind. He's just a mess .

Was this presser a rerun?

Jake Tapper use these words to describe Trump -- "L I A R", "LYING" . dispense with sugar coated words like "falsehood"

I feel like this is the nail in the coffin for midterms. Republicans picking party over women will definitely cost them in the election, and cost them seats. #bluewave

Trump defending Kavanaugh makes Trump believe he is defending himself.

[farmerbill]

He watched Cosby's publicist on TV and thought " I can do that for Brett but as a stable genius "

Was trump on drugs or was he just crazy 😝 during this news conference

[none]

The more he talks, the less he should do more of these. I don't think ANY world leader thinks Trump is running ...anything. There's your big fat orange con job.

[EVOLMAI]

Exactly what I said...
He’s rambling and
Off topic....

[audreymuzingo]

Never mind fact-checking, how about understanding WHAT QUESTION he is being asked, and having a modicum of decorum toward the people asking them. I can't believe the analysis on any channel isn't about him telling a woman journalist "SIT DOWN!" when she tried a second time to ask a question he didn't let her finish the first time!

[glynisschepisi]

OMG America how did you get here, Russia is winning 🙄

[geekfreak]

He doesn't value his base as Jake says. He values nobody but himself. What he values is their money and their votes and slavish admiration.

[JustinMBailey]

Damn dude you looked aged 10 years just for having to listen to that conference....but then again we’re all looking extra gray these days.

Thank you to the media for trying to make sense of Trump's horrific presidency. He is insane and his voters are challenged mentally and emotionally in one way or another. Our country has decided to visit the underworld for a while. Media people? Just keep voicing your outrage so the rest of us can stay focused. Keep doing what you are doing. We appreciate it.

[normcaissie]

Are kidding me? He can't sympathize because he really doesn't care. Unless it's in the fact they are both guilty and know it.

[danyalkazmi]

That's exactly what he said when defending Ailes, O'Reilly, Rob Porter, etc. And of course he conveniently said only 4 women have accused him when it's actually close to 20.

Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, and Brett Kavanaugh.

I live in the UK. As a 'constitutional monarchy' (without a written constitution) the notion that the Prime Minister (or The Queen, our head of state) would hold a press conference and give their opinion as to who was a serial shagger or completely innocent before a trial would be anathema. (Apart from the build up to the Iraq War where Tony Blair lied to Parliament and has done ever since) Nevertheless, Trump can't resist giving an opinion on what should be a fair judicial process without his clearly partisan opinion. I recommend reading any of Chris Hedges books.
