President Trump on Friday claimed he doesn’t know the man he tapped as acting attorney general, continued to berate reporters, and complimented former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s “taste.”
And that’s not all. Here are the most noteworthy comments Trump made to White House reporters before departing for Paris for an event commemorating World War I.

What we have the privilege of witnessing here is a conman who fooled millions of people into thinking he was a competent and successful businessman and now has no idea WTF he is doing and is pathetically thrashing around like a fish on a dock.
I guess telling a woman reporter that her questions are stupid is only disqualifying if you run some organization other than a crime family.
It’s like one of those holiday sampler packs of Scotch they sell—ten different flavors of lying stupid.
Or the Magic 8 Ball.
