When asked if he intends to include the CBC in his project to "fix the inner city", Trump said he wants to and they have been invited repeatedly but have never returned their phone calls.....then asks the Black reporter if she would set up meetings between Trump's team and the CBC........Very odd thing to ask a reporter...She has tweeted since then that the CBC has not been contacted by Trump's people about this and have not been invited to participate.

Trump bragged that he got more Electoral College votes than any other President since Reagan. A BBC reporter challenged him, quoting the numbers that gave Obama a much bigger number and Trump said " I meant Republican Presidents." The reporter then gave Bush's numbers, which were also much higher than Trump's. Trump said " I was given that information.....and repeated that many times. The reporter then asked how Trump could accuse media of not being truthful when he, himself kept giving them fake information.......Trump's response....so typical, was to try and make his lies a truth, said "well, I had a phenomenal win, ya gotta admit that" and the reported said "You're the President" and sat down.....having made his point......and so it goes Trumping along in Trumpland.....hey ho, hey ho, tra la la......

Hello Skariff - I hope you don't mind the inclusion of selected parts of Shane Snow's article 'Donald Trump and The Definition of Insanity' - think it worth consideration. Thanks.

'Nearly 60,000 mental health professionals have diagnosed President Donald Trump with a type of insanity that is often compared to an alcoholic’s lack of honesty and impulse control. Psychologists say that Trump’s condition is a combination of mental disorders that cause one to distort reality and make violent, impulsive decisions. These disorders form, according to the doctor who coined the term 'Malignant Narcissism' in the 1960s, 'the most severe pathology and the root of the most vicious destructiveness.' This is the first time in history that so many mental health professionals have collectively diagnosed a living individual. Their conclusion, based on the hundreds of hours of Trump’s on-camera dialogue and off-the-cuff public speaking, is alarming because it says that our current president is too mentally disturbed to fulfill his office.

We need President Trump to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. If he refuses to do so, that’s bad news. Refusal itself could be validation of his personality disorder. And if Trump can be persuaded to sit down for an objective psychiatric evaluation—not from a doctor under his employ—there’s a high probability that he will be diagnosed with the mental illnesses we’ve discussed. Which will mean that he is not healthy enough to be president. The 25th Amendment of the Constitution says that the vice president and a majority of the president’s cabinet can vote to remove the president for being 'unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.' This was put into place after Kennedy was shot, in case a president becomes too ill, injured, or mentally unwell to perform. Removing Trump would be tough because his cabinet is made of people who he’s chosen himself. There’s no restraining hand to stop him. However, if the cabinet did decide to listen to the psychiatric community and remove Trump, someone with Malignant Narcissism like him would likely not go quietly. With his back to the wall, there’s no way to predict what a sadistic, antisocial, paranoid narcissist in command of special forces, a Twitter army, and nuclear codes will do. But the danger of not removing him is very clear. “We’ve had presidents with psychological disorders,” Gartner points out. Lincoln had depression, after all. “But this is unique. We’re not just talking about mental illness, we’re talking about the worst possible mental illness.”

Trump is in a powerful position in charge of the entire U.S. military and the nuclear arsenal. He is so incredibly arrogant that he believes he can just do or say whatever he wants. It is so clear that he is not mentally or emotionally stable and seems to be getting worse by the day. There is an impeachment petition you can sign in Shane Snow's amazing article about Trump's mental health. That press conference was terrifying.

Some of the "high-lights" from Trump's rambling news conference. He doesn't sound like a man who graduated at the top of his class from Wharton, does he? Then again that is in doubt as no one can remember him, and his name doesn't appear on any Dean's list on or about the year he claims he graduated.

"The leaks are absolutely real but the news is fake because so much of the news is fake." (try to figure out how that can be.)

"You know what uranium is, right? This thing called nuclear weapons like lots of things are done with uranium including some bad things." (there's that Wharton education again.)

"I mean they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people that our representatives are representing." (doesn't our President represent every citizen?)

“I’ve been briefed and I can tell you one thing about a briefing that we’re allowed to say because anybody that ever read the most basic book can say it—nuclear holocaust would be like no other.”

'When a reporter called out Trump on his frequently repeated false claim that his electoral college victory was the biggest since Ronald Reagan’s, the president said: “I was given that information… I’ve seen that information around… I don’t know.” (and people still believe him over the media, the media who strives for facts and recants when wrong.)

I agree with Seek when she says she is capable of watching and making her own determination, no need for the media to interpret.
