This afternoon, President Trump spoke with the press after a cabinet meeting to discuss the latest impeachment developments, and it went about as well as you’d expect.
The President viciously trashed both the media and the Democratic Party, smearing them as “sick, sick” people working with a “dangerous” and “corrupt” press.
Even though we’ve heard him say the same words so many times before, it’s still just as chilling to hear the president of the United States complain about how we don’t have the “freedom of the press” when it’s that very press freedom that’s making sure America knows exactly what this criminal and his cronies are up to.
TRUMP offers these uplifting words about Democrats: “These people are sick. They’re sick. And the press really in this country is dangerous. We don’t have freedom of the press in this country. We have the opposite. We have a very corrupt media.” pic.twitter.com/ukt4AGZevc

The president went on to swear that he has no idea who Lt. Col. Vindman was, specifically mispronounced his name, and appeared to poke fun at him for wearing his uniform to his deposition today.

And when it was all over, a White House aide literally screamed at the assembled reporters to get out while the president made strange facial expressions.
