Mr. Emperor - "Do you regret all of the lying that you have done to the American people?"

We.
Need.
More.
Of.
THIS !!!

Perhaps this is our "have you no sense of human dignity" moment ?

Reporter: Do you regret all of the lying that you have done to the American people?

President Trump: What?

Reporter: Do you regret all of the lying that you have done to the American people?

*silence*

Then, President Trump doesn't answer and moves on to the next reporter.

I want to follow him. I played it 5 times. Downloaded it.

It was a thing of beauty, only part that kind of missed the mark was the followup, these reporters need to have each others back.

He had to ask the reporter twice to repeat himself. Old age will do that to a person.

tends to go whenever someone asks him a question he doesn't want to answer. How convenient.

He did look a bit doddering there though.

... and unable to focus when the Secret Service came to pull him from that press conference the other day. Totally bewildered.

Reminded me of a befuddled and disoriented old man. Every time I've seen him this week, he looked and sounded lethargic and spacey, his speaking pattern very robotic as if he didn't have a clue what he was even saying. His tweets, however, have been rather lively I suppose, though very angry and reactive.

I'm thinking he might not bounce back this time, as this funk is lasting longer than previously.

at least they will threaten it. If they did it to Acosta over something trivial, this will have him seething.
