"No, I was talking about appreciating the team, blah blah. Not me!"

He's so transparent.

PIGPOOP!

I wonder which of his handlers managed to persuade him to say that? Anyone with a few active brain cells knows Trump doesn't give a crap about anyone else unless it/they will make him look good or it/they make him look bad.

Even those that support him will say he's very much self centered

see him as self-assured and confident, but seriously, they all must know he's really a self centered asshole. Maybe that's what they like about him and perhaps they wish they could be jerks and get away with it as well.

to the reporters there for not just bursting out and laughing in his face at such outrageous nonsense. I'm normally fairly good at keeping a straight face about the craziest stuff but I don't think I could if I were them.

I'm also amazed that someone hasn't gotten up and walked out on him yet. That's an amazing amount of self control.

The next time he's a nasty rude jerk to a reporter who's just calling him on his bull.
