well, truthfully, it all shocked me - but them, just call me old fashioned - expecting truth, hating lying and all that.
But - the sound of applause. At first I got really steamed - were the reporters actually applauding this fraudclown? Were people holding up signs to clap? Was this just part of a "reality" TV show skit?
Then I read on TPM just now that it was his staff that were clapping. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-press-conference-boasted-own-cheering-section
I always knew that wealth, greed, power led to a circle of ass kissing sycophants.
Little did I think he was going to bring them all along to lavish praise on his elephantine ego....
It only gets worse, doesn't it?

(14,400 posts)he brought along with him. That asshole goes nowhere without a posse of yes men/women just to keep him pacified.

(31,518 posts)Maybe not as explosive, but dangerous nonetheless.

(19,565 posts)But he's less likely to start a world war over a Twitter slight. So, there's that.

(43,182 posts)Because they should know that could be any one of them.
But yes, it was Trump's sycophants in the room who applauded, not the fellow journalists.

(41,986 posts)I listened to a much as I could, then told him "I can't listen anymore he's babbling" We got into one of those mild been-married-forever-arguments; my husband " I want to hear him make his point!" Me; "honey, he's never going to make his point"
Poor Honey was baffled at the incoherence--he's a solid Democrat but likes to listen to all sides--Anyway, we went to the gas station, he went in to pay and he apparently heard part of it on the TV in there--came out just cussing and at a loss for words. Me, not helping matters, "I told you!"

(7,768 posts)Since the brain-dead egomaniac has to have constant adulation, watch for him to call on his adoring, mouth-breathing Trumpsters to be in attendance at his next presser!
Really, it's something he would do. That way, he can hear them cheering, yelling his name and incite all of them to attack and boo the Media.
He's like a fucking crack addict with his need for praise.

(63,868 posts)not that I would watch it he's illegal and a pervert, kiss goodbye the state of the union.
Pomp and circumstance and everything intelligent is gone.
