Laugh for the night .... The 40 wildest lines from Donald Trump's impromptu Friday press conference

... snip ...

5. "And all that matters is one thing: the transcript. And the transcript is perfect."

(Narrator voice) It isn't.

6. "Well, they shouldn't be having public hearings. This is a hoax. This is just like the Russian witch hunt. This is just a continuation."

Trump never elaborates on why he believes the House shouldn't have public hearings on impeachment. (Those hearings are slated to start next week.) But, if he truly believes they are a "hoax" and a "witch hunt" wouldn't he want that to be exposed by public hearings?

7. "I saw he said very nice things about me last night. But we'll have to see. I'll have to see."

Trump, asked about Jeff Sessions' just-announced Senate bid, proves -- yet again -- that all he does is watch cable TV news.

8. "I had a very good call with the President of Ukraine. I assume that's what you're talking about. The call was perfect."

I know I have been over this ground before but ... what, exactly, constitutes a "perfect" phone call? Is it about the contents of the call? The execution? The connection clarity?

... snip...

22. "Let -- let me just tell you, I -- I hardly know the gentleman."

Ha, ha, ha...oh wait, he isn't joking. Trump is talking here about Gordon Sondland. Yes, the same Sondland who donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee and was rewarded with an posting as the US ambassador to the European Union. Never heard of him!

private hearings. Now Trump doesn't want public hearings?

How do you defend this guy? He keeps blowing up his own defense

The call didn't happen

Oh wait , it did, but it was perfect

No quid pro quo. yes quid pro quo

He was joking when he asked for investigation. No I wasn't joking.
