Trump to press: 'I consider you a part of the Democrat Party'

Source: The Hill



BY MORGAN CHALFANT - 10/01/18 01:40 PM EDT

A combative President Trump initially deflected questions about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during a White House press conference on trade, and also accused reporters of working for the Democratic Party.

During an extended attack on Democrats for their handling of Kavanaugh, Trump accused the media of taking the party’s side. “I consider you a part of the Democrat Party,” Trump said.

Trump shot down questions three times from reporters on Kavanaugh following remarks in the Rose Garden, instead demanding they first ask questions about the newly negotiated version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

He signaled he would eventually take questions on Kavanaugh, but didn’t do so until almost an hour into the press conference.

There would be Dem majorities in Congress and statehouses, we'd be discussing latest news about President Clinton or President Sanders and Donald Trump would still be the host of a shitty reality show.

almost spitting it out in defiance. He's been purposely misnaming the Party, which IMO is his special manner of showing disrespect. Instead, he is merely highlighting his stupidity.

9. The Press and current Democrats have something in common: They try to tell the truth.

That makes both of them enemies of Trump and the Republicans.
