Donald Trump will tell anyone who will listen that the midterm elections were a great success for the Republican party, and thus himself, but they were not.

We won’t go into it, but here’s a decent Twitter thread that explains why Donnie was in a foul mood when he faced the media at yesterday’s press conference.

Every time he is left to face the media, he ends up looking like a doddering old man who is in dire need of a diaper change, and yesterday was right up there with his worst showing yet.

It’s also that he grew up filthy, stinkin’ rich, and has had servants wiping his arse with golden toilet paper all of his life, so he cannot handle being challenged.

Admittedly, CNN’s Jim Acosta was goading him, refusing to give up the microphone and firing off question after question. Anybody who watched the press conference, though, will tell you that Trump hardly let a single journalist finish a question before he chimed in.

By chimed in, I mean rambled in completely nonsensical half-sentences and hyperboles, all the while completely ignoring the question that was actually asked to him.

So yeah, here’s Jim and Donald involved in a showdown. Something to look out for – the moment the White House intern tries to take the microphone away from Acosta:

This whole ‘acting presidential’ thing has been trotted out far too often, but how about acting like an adult?

Also getting in on the action was Sarah ‘Lies for a Living’ Sanders, the White House Press Secretary, who announced with glee that they had revoked Jim Acosta’s press credentials.

He found out when he arrived at the White House for a later broadcast, and then Sanders took to Twitter:

OK, but you’ll stand up and lie for a man who admitted to grabbing women by the pussy. Got it.

Also, Sarah, there is video footage of what happened. In that video above, from 10 seconds – watch it again.

Jim had a fair response:

It is, and it’s what Sarah, and the administration she covers for, does.

Let’s see him talking about allegations that he has made racist references in the past:

Reporter: Michael Cohen recently said you called black voters stupid.
Trump: That’s false.

R: Omarosa has accused you of using the N-word.
T: That’s false.

R: The rapper Lil Jon has said you called him ‘Uncle Tom.”
T: I don’t know who Little John is. I really don’t. pic.twitter.com/LD6CpDTAjq

Stunning.

How about being a hot country?

Hot.

Trump saying howdy to his friend, Shinzo:

“Say hello to Shinzo,” Pres. Trump tells Japanese reporter, referring to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “I’m sure he’s happy about tariffs on his cars.” https://t.co/QF15MHrJt2 pic.twitter.com/aLjJkjZjfw

Yup.

Let’s finish with prime Trump – here he is saying a black journalist is asking a “racist question”, before talking about how much he loves the world:

WATCH: @PBS @NewsHour White House correspondent @Yamiche Alcindor today at a WH news conference asked @realdonaldtrump whether calling himself a nationalist on the campaign trail has been emboldening white nationalists. President Trump replied, “That’s such a racist question.” pic.twitter.com/dzrTG9Yoxn

Transcribe that word vomit at your peril.

America, y’all need to hit that reset button.
