Other than a repeat of the same old words and expressions that he keeps using, when he laid into Norah O'Donnell, in his rant because she not only dared bring it up right in his face, but followed it up with a question, "Oh do you think he was talking about you?" which was brilliant, he betrayed himself. He jumped on that way too fast for it not to have had a devastating effect.
OK, so let's come to grips, America, with the fact that something is critically wrong with a democratic republic where the electorate chose to put this dysfunctional, disgusting wreck of a human being in the Presidency. It's on us to fix it.

Kaplan roundly rejected Trumps motion Tuesday, calling that argument entirely unpersuasive.
The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was raped within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump raped her as many people commonly understand the word rape, Kaplan wrote.
He added: Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.
Kaplan said New Yorks legal definition of rape is far narrower than the word is understood in common modern parlance.
