Donald Trump has a "Melt Down" under pressure, acts crazy

Donald Trump Calls ABC Reporter 'A Sleaze' In Bizarre Press Conference


In a bizarre press conference this morning, Donald Trump finally released his findings on the money raised for veterans in his controversial fundraiser, held when he ditched the Fox News debate.

But instead of sticking to the facts about the fundraiser, he began by repeatedly attacking the press for being disingenuous to him and finally singled out an ABC News reporter by calling him "a sleaze" to his face.

Snip.......

(Donald Trump lies again)

Major Garrett asked him if he believed "he should be accountable for the people?"

Trump replied, "Oh, I'm totally accountable, but I didn't want to have credit for it."

Throughout the entire presser, Donald constantly said that he didn't want to take any credit for raising the money for the vets, which, of course is a complete lie.

You’re a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well.


Uh ... Donald. I don't think that came out the way you had hoped.

You're in grave danger of losing access to Donald Trump! How can you possibly cover the presidential campaign if Donald doesn't phone in to your shows and dictate coverage angles to your producers? You'll be lost, and the American people won't know anything about the election! Re-commit NOW to Operation Liplock and get back in Trump's good graces, if you know what's good for you.

You know a candidate is bad news when a schoolyard taunt fits the situation and does not sound childish.

Next up: "I know you are, but what am I?"

Where's PeeWee Herman when you need him?

Same game they have played for over a generation and will keep repeating until the last proton in the Universe decays.

All that awful stuff about Trump: Liberal media bias.

But lookie here: Even the "Librul Media" is questioning Hillary's honesty!
