Trump Answers Ukraine Question By Attacking Hillary Clinton For Not Visiting Wisconsin

Posted on Wed, Sep 25th, 2019 by Sean Colarossi

Donald Trump held his first press conference since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry, and he was unable to offer a credible defense for why he pressured a foreign leader to interfere in an American election.

Instead, Trump talked about his Electoral College victory and attacked Hillary Clinton for not visiting Wisconsin in 2016.

“Why should the American people, then, be comfortable with an American president asking a foreign leader for information about an American citizen?” one reporter asked Trump.

What came next from the president was a rambling dose of word salad in which he stumbled into a rant about the 2016 election.

Trump said:

Well, I think you can look at your senators and you can look at Biden and you can at all these other people. But what we’re looking for is corruption. An investigation started called the Russian witch hunt, affectionately, and it was a total phony scam. It was set up by people within the government to try and stop somebody from getting elected, and after that — after that person, namely me, won and convincingly won at 306 to 223 in the Electoral College. Which, by the way, when you run a race if you’re running electoral, you know, if you go by the college, electoral college, that’s a much different race than running popular vote. And it’s like the 100-yard dash or the mile. You train differently. And I can’t help it that my opponent didn’t go to Wisconsin and should have gone much more to Michigan and Pennsylvania and other places, but that’s the way it is. We won an election convincingly. Convincingly.

1. Was the follow up question. "Why won't you just answer the question asked?"

Because that should have been the only follow up question asked until he actually gave a relevant answer.

2. That would require an independent press.

15. Yes I know.

It was a rhetorical question. I am sure if Trump was in Europe, that question would have been asked by the press there.

3. Wait wait lol omg...

If hes blaming his current presidential problems on the fact that hillary isn't president just now because he cheated his ass off...


Well then I guess that's the first right thing hes said in about 2 and a half years hahaah..

Yes donald, if hillary were in fact president right now, you wouldn't have to be impeached and spend the rest of your worthless life in prison.
Glad were all on the same page with that!

Idiot.

4. Someone most likely told Trump to shut his stupid ass'd mouth before he gets everyone in trouble

6. That is exactly what he did

It was stunning to watch - he's stark raving mad and he's terrified.

8. Hillary made me wreck the world!

I didn't see but about 15 seconds of that thing. It was nuts. Reading that little piece was too much crazy, too.

9. The way Chump talks about the Electoral College,

he gives off the vibe that he actually believes there is a large brick campus somewhere named The Electoral College.

Which, by the way, when you run a race if you’re running electoral, you know, if you go by the college, electoral college, that’s a much different race than running popular vote. And it’s like the 100-yard dash or the mile. You train differently.

11. that would not surprise me

I never thought about it, but it would fit his warped view and arrested development.

Put a sign on a cell block, "The Electoral College", and it will make his arrest easier.

14. "That face you make"

He looks like a pouty brat! Of course, that's how he acts, too.

I'm glad Schiff got ahead of the GOPer spin on this one.
