Did anyone see the Trump press conference from India this morning?

 
Once again, he refused to respond to whether he would welcome outside interference in our elections. Unfortunately, reporters only get one shot and the questions are swept away. Other reporters do not do the necessary "follow-ups" to get a reasonable response.

Also, he was asked about the firing of the firing of the DNI and the replacement of him with an ambassador with no intelligence experience. He said that the DNI was leaving March 11th anyway. He didn't say what our intelligence agencies were to do between time?

He also commented on the "inappropriate" comments by Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor. He thought the women Justices should recuse themselves from any cases related to Donald Trump.

At one moment, he accused the CNN reporter of lying and being dishonest. The CNN reporter responded that the network had a better record than he at being honest.

There may be an empty seat back from India?

Sounds like Trump decided that a "You're a pathetic idiot!" look was a better response to the "reporter"-troll than teeing off on him. Was it a CNN troll or a (MS)NBC troll?

kt lied, unsurprisingly:

Trump Snaps At Jim Acosta’s One-Liner On ‘Truth’ In India — ‘You Ought To Be Ashamed Of Yourself’

CNN’s Jim Acosta clashed with President Donald Trump during a Tuesday press conference in India, with the president attacking CNN over its own record for “truth.”

“Can you pledge to the American people that you will not accept any foreign assistance in the upcoming election?” Acosta asked, also questioning the qualifications of Trump’s new acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

“First of all, I want no help from any country,” Trump said.

“And I haven’t been given help from any country, and if you see what CNN, your wonderful network, said, I guess they apologized in a way for — didn’t they apologize for the fact that they said certain things that weren’t true? Tell me, what was their apology yesterday? What did they say?”

There is video embedded in the article that shows Trump's reply. So I was wrong in ASSuming kt told the truth, that Trump did not respond to a "reporter's" question; mea goofa. OTOH, I was correct in naming CNN as the first of the likely sources of the smart-ass troll-question. And DU's Ken Tucker LIED. Did any DU-member call out his lie?
