There was a press conference. It was interesting.

From the Guardian article: "The president was confidently unhinged..."

I wish I could laugh.

Checking in. Still reeling from the absolute horror show presser, good to see it's attracted a huge amount of media coverage... maybe people are waking up to how awful the whole situation is?

Indeed, M0stly.

Yay, a new thread.GOOD THING.

Holy shit, I just saw one of his people being interviewed by BBC. I say interviewed, but he mostly just ranted, denied, minimised and blamed. Now, I definitely think BBC is hardly unbiased, but this was ridiculous. Apparently you can now make a claim, and if challenged on it, you tell the viewers to google it instead of presenting a reasoned argument with research and facts.
And that press conference was just bizarre.

'URANIUM IS USED IN STUFF'

I wonder what Putin's reaction to the presser was?

Excellent!!!!

I didn't see that I fear, chartreuse? Which guy?

I have serious respect for Shep Smith after watching that video clip of him on Fox News.

Apparently Shep's always been a voice of reason on Fox, and there are already calls to fire him.

Latest 'trump draws' is fab - leak

Cussing Maybe CNN will take him.

Trump’s Labor Pick Has a History of Attacking Voting Rights

www.thenation.com/article/trumps-labor-pick-has-a-history-of-attacking-voting-rights/

What have I missed?Did watch some of the press but got seriously bored of the same drivel but fear I've missed something now.

"What we saw today was the old Donald Trump from the campaign trail and it was fabulous" - Trump advisor @SebGorka"

Mr Gorka - were we watching the same conference? Because I saw a rambling, incoherent, contradictory, vindictive, windy, boast-barf. Not fabulous. At all

Clnz

I posted a link upthread to an article on it. It was, possibly, a little biased - but not that much.

and there are already calls to fire him.

Because Shep's an actual journalist. He must feel like the Lone Ranger at Fox.

Both the telegraph and the guardian called the press conference extraordinary. Which could be taken many ways.

I read somewhere that sentiment analysis of social media (FB/Twitter) doesn't work on British feeds because it misses sarcasm and irony bigly and interprets stuff like "fantastic " as positive. It does work on US feeds, although I suspect it might struggle on Trump threads of late.

FWIW, Republicans on the Hill were panicked behind the scenes by Trump's performance today.

it's all thrillingly exciting!

Might I ask any US residents who are posting or reading, what they or their friends and family thought of the presser?
