I gotta say, the press conference wasn’t bad. Plenty of non-answers and stuff as usual, but that’s par for the course. The lawyer segment was a smart move, but we’ll see how much of that actually holds up later.
I haven’t seen any of it, but I guess you disagree with this article?

And yeah I know it’s on Jezebel.
No more or less messy than that article, haha. It reads like it was written by someone very young who didn’t take many writing courses and really hates Trump.
I don’t recall him being especially vicious to anybody (except BuzzFeed who really deserves it for being a pile of garbage). He cracked some jokes and did get into it with the CNN reporter, but I wouldn’t say vicious describes it. He did talk about the Nazi Germany thing a bit.
It certainly wasn’t as eloquent or well-spoken as Obama’s conferences, but I think he came across as more “Presidential” today than I’ve seen him before.
It’s funny because after the first speaker (I dunno who it was) was getting into his childish tirade, I was expecting the whole conference to follow that line. I was thinking , great, we’ve got four years of bullshit like this in press conferences. But Trump I thought was fairly reserved and controlled (except for the surprisingly-short outburst about CNN).
Now, that said, again he really just dodged all the questions and said nothing of note (Sherri Dillon did all that), and of course I certainly don’t know how any of that stuff will work or what kind of loopholes are built-into it or if any of it is true or ethical or legal in any way, but tonally he came across well. In my opinion.
And I don’t like him.
