CNN folks are gobsmacked

Definining moment for Drumpf's presidency. He can't walk this back. We saw the real Trump today.


Imagine if you were a Jewish person in Germany and had to attend Adolph Hitler High? Don Lemon is pissed!

Chuck Todd is almost speechless. About time these guys got a clue, but at least they're finally getting it.

3. Yes, CNN and MSNBC - this guy, the guy you gave a platform to for 16 months....

the reality star that you couldn't get enough of, and the ugly people who attended his rallies whom you had on TV every fricking night. You're Dr. Frankenstein, and he's the monster, systematically killing off everything you love.

I wish they'd all admit it.

5. It looks like Trump is close to the end. As the web tightens he becomes more unhinged.

I hope we don't have some type of terrorist activity in the country which will allow him to declare martial law and suspend the rights of citizens indefinitely. I'm sure the right wing extremists are hoping they get the opportunity to help maintain law and order.

His take is so divorced from reality that the only explanation is that he got his info from the KKK.

Insane!

Seems like Hurd's appearance was pre-planned for some reason....

Hurd hadn't seen Trump's press conference.

Don Lemon is very pissed.

He didn't hear it until Wolf played excerpts. He did a pretty damn good job of reacting.

14. CNN's going to have to work real hard to make this look normal

I don't envy them their task.

Of course, they could always decide to start saying that President Trump has come unglued and isn't fit for the office. But will that mean they don't get invited to the swell cocktail parties? Decisions, decisions.
