Q Did Donald Trump, Jr. did your son, Donald Trump, Jr., speak with Robert Mueller?
THE PRESIDENT: Did I what?
Q Did your son, Donald Trump, Jr., speak with Robert Mueller?
THE PRESIDENT: I dont know. I really dont know.
Q How do you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: I never I dont know.
Yeah, go ahead.
Q Mr. President, are you concerned about what was said
THE PRESIDENT: I mean, frankly, whether or not he did, it wouldnt matter to me
Q How would you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: because he did nothing wrong. He did nothing wrong.
Q But how would you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: Because its so unimportant. It was always a very unimportant meeting. It was only important to the fake news.
Go ahead.
Q Mueller said you could be charged once you leave office.
THE PRESIDENT: No, he didnt say that.
Q Yes, he did.
THE PRESIDENT: Again, youre fake news. And youre right at the top of the list, also.
Let me just tell you
Q That is what he said, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: go back to what its not what he said. Read his correction.
Q That was not his correction. His correction was about exonerating you.
THE PRESIDENT: Read his correction.
Q It was about exonerating you. That was not about if you could be charged after you leave office.
THE PRESIDENT: If you read his correction, youll find out. Thats why people dont deal with you because youre not an honest reporter.

I'm glad the reporter persisted.
Trump's going to a fundraiser with a coal mine owner today?
It's Thursday. A workday. The MORNING of a workday. This guy is such a no-count wastrel.

Trump lives in his own fragile reality. He can't handle anything that tilts his rose colored fantasy world.

I am so glad to see the questions. I hate these "press conferences" where Trump spouts off but you don't know what the question was.
