Trump calls Senate Democrats’ behavior in Kavanaugh hearings ‘a disgrace’ during press conference
“I was surprised by how vocal he was about how much he liked beer,” Trump says of Kavanaugh.
Trump held a press conference Monday morning to discuss the newly minted NAFTA deal.
Once the conversation was opened to the press, questions were directed toward Kavanaugh and the new FBI investigation.
Trump was typical Trump.
As Tim Young summarized:
Classic Trump in the Rose Garden:
Called the Media Democrats.
Called Blumenthal out on stolen valor.
Called Booker out on admitting to groping.
Called Feinstein out on holding Prof Ford’s claims, then leaking them.
Called Senators out in general for being drunk and belligerent.— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) October 1, 2018
On drinking:
President Trump: “I’m not a drinker. I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life… I never had a glass of alcohol. I’ve never had alcohol… Can you imagine if I had? What a mess I’d be. I would be the world’s worst. I never drank, OK?” https://t.co/QxLhFXkboB pic.twitter.com/CZ3ndjSZsV

Despite reporting to the contrary, Trump indicated the White House has not directed the FBI to limit the scope of its latest investigation into Kavanaugh. He did clarify, saying the FBI was directed by the Senate, and that the scope of the investigation was defined so as not to start yet another witch hunt:

Loco Democrats:
“They’re loco” Trump says of Democrats. “I use that word because of the deal with Mexico.”
This thing is going off the rails

“Da Nang Richard”
Trump says he calls Sen. Blumenthal “Da Nang Richard” in honour of Blumenthal’s lies about serving in Vietnam. This is all pretty somethin’.

Trump’s press conferences are never not hilarious, not only in content but in how much he upsets the media by just being himself.

Comments
Someone tell Budweiser. If you like beer you must be a rapist by Democrat calculus.
I like the “I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking.”
“That’s OK. (pause) You never do.”
Then she doesn’t understand that she had just been insulted.

Trump making fun of Blumenthal is pretty funny.
