by "latest report" they (supposedly) put out. A local reporter in Columbus, OH, managed to ask djt this question at some event (not a presser). Judd Legum with Think Progress (www.thinkprogress.org) covered it here (includes Legum's write-up & Ch. 6 abc affiliate video):

He seems to think he can eliminate problems by saying whatever vague b.s. and people just accepting it.

Ya' know, I've actually felt concerned about Fahrenthold, Eichenwald (sp?), and a couple other reporters.

Take care!

The most important quote in the piece. Trump has not responded substantively...to anything.

I might understand somewhat how people can value style of substance, it happens all the time. But Trump really has no "style." He's a facade. There is no there there.
