"That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. [View all]

He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal now." Aaron Rupar just wrote on bluesky.

Did anyone have the stomach to watch it? Is this the press conference that just happened where he wore his red hat in the Oval and looked exhausted?

It must have been something if Rupar thinks it was "one of the most batshit" conferences of trump's life. Think of the competition.
