Trump thinks he's talking to a random citizen, asks them if they are "Trump or Hillary?"

I'm sorry if this has been talked about on here already, but I just saw the story how a reporter randomly got to talk to the President, who thought he was a random citizen. Everything you need to know about the narcissism of Donald Trump is summed up in this story. So Dan Balz of the Washington Post was recounting how he got to randomly talk to Trump after another person from CNBC came up and asked if he wanted to talk to the President. Apparently that other person heard them talking about Trump and said to him he was in Paris and there were 2 people there talking about him. Obviously this peaked Trump's attention who said he wanted to talk to them. Balz said he was trying to get something out of him and was getting nowhere until finally Trump asks him if he is "Trump or Hillary?" At that point he reveals that he is Dan Balz from the Washington Post and the phone goes silent for awhile.

He literally wanted to just chat w/ random citizen...good for him, but I know its only out of a need for adulation not that he really cares about Joe Citizen. And 2....IT'S NOT 2016 YOU MORON! We are Americans not "Trump" or "Hillary".
