Rather than having a go at them on Twitter and describing them as second rate actresses. Hmm

Otherwise some people might just think you're a bit sensitive.

If that's how he's going to react when people call him out on things, he's going to have a very long 4 years in the White House

He could run the country and the Trump business at the same time......

LouiseBrooks · 11/01/2017 16:38

Oh he is VERY touchy about the tax issue!

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 16:38

He's a bit rattled by a lady!

squishysquirmy · 11/01/2017 16:38

Freudian slip there, he said company at one point when he meant country...

amispartacus · 11/01/2017 16:39

Has he just finished?

Oh, tax returns...

He insists that his sons will run the company! Wow! The Senate is going to accept this?

Suzysuz · 11/01/2017 16:39

has had enough when turns to tax so just walks off stage Smile

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 16:40

So he could run the company and the free world at the same time? Bollocks he can. He can't even control his own hair.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 16:40

He's brought some stooge on to talk about his conflict of interests and his businesses. He's not talking himself about this. He wanders off ... body language says he is bristling to me. Didn't like being asked about his tax returns.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 16:41

He says the public doesn't care that he hasn't released his tax returns because...
"I won".

Could he be more wrong

squishysquirmy · 11/01/2017 16:41

So he's smart enough to know there are cameras everywhere, yet can be caught out with a live microphone on a bus.

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 16:42

Did they actually ask about his tax returns! Ha! I suspect he will be asked about that a lot!

Suzysuz · 11/01/2017 16:42

Oh he's still there stood at the side Grin

Roussette · 11/01/2017 16:44

"“Over the weekend, I was offered $2bn to do a deal in Dubai” with “a friend of mine.” “Great guy.”

“I turned it down. I didn’t have to turn it down, because as you know, I have a no-conflict situation because I’m president... Pence also has it. I don’t think he’ll need it... I have a no conflict of interest provision as president... I could actually run my business and run government at the same time. I don’t like the way that looks but I would be able to do that if I wanted to.”

Is this true?

I was given to understand there IS a conflict of interests. He makes out he can do what he wants cos he's POTUS

Lweji · 11/01/2017 16:44

So, no loans, he says. It would be interesting to check that. Say, through his tax returns.

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 16:44

And he said 'gee I've never heard that before,' (like my Ds would)

And 'no one cares about it, just you reporters...I won' or something like that.

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 16:44

I just caught a snatch of alex salmond saying that it was 'chaotic'. And he would know.

squoosh · 11/01/2017 16:45

I thought maybe he had copies of his tax returns in those manilla folders.

Lweji · 11/01/2017 16:47

I like that pile of paperwork. I wonder what's in there.

Also, I think almost 3 million more voters care about his tax returns than those who don't. Grin

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 16:47

Are they 'beootifool'? Are the numbers bigly? Oh I heard they are building 'a wall '! Not with Mexico bit with his business.

Bullshit.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 16:49

Those folders are all the papers he's signed to hand over.

Apparently.

squoosh · 11/01/2017 16:50

'The only people that care about my tax returns is the reporters ... I won. I became president. I think you care. First of all you learn very little from tax returns.'

Does he really think people are going to shut up about the tax returns?

Lweji · 11/01/2017 16:53

So, he's spoken and answered questions for less than 20 min.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 16:53

I think every single hand in the room is up to ask a question

amispartacus · 11/01/2017 16:54

Great
Brilliant

He's great at avoiding questions.
