It was slow, bland, inarticulate, and uncomfortably moronic... " When I first got to Congress 120-years-ago... "
" I'm going to consult with our NATO-allies, who have NATO-allies... "
" We're going to implement what we're doing... "
" I don't want to put the Secret Service in-danger... " (his main reason for not going to the border)
" Obama wanted me to meet (then Chinese VP) Xi, because it wasn't proper for me to meet with President Hu, who was the President... " (That was part of his windy non-answer to the question of leaving Trump's tariffs in-place.)
The press-conference was full of that kind of crap. The idiot was reading from a binder for a lot of it.
The awkward silences from the press, when he tried to foist some overtly-disparaging insults about President Trump and was expecting laughter to float back... No humor about that was ever going to work with a press that was feeling intense pressure to behave 'professionally'.
