I never knew before today that the definition of a "press conference" is...

....when someone drones on endlessly for a half hour and then doesn't bother to take a single question from the press except for one as he literally walks out the door.

Who knew?

Is redefining everything. Everything. He will destroy the whole shebang before he leaves office.

Day after day I ask myself how no one does anything to stop this nightmare. Then I come to my senses and remember that the people who could do something are up to their eyeballs in crimes & scandals, too. They can’t expose him without revealing their own issues.
