27. Seems like the reporter AND Trump were confused

Looks like the reporter garbled and mixed up Comey's and Trump's names, and then Trump went all buckwild and tried to spin shit, and we wound up with double word salad! Almost seems like Trump thinks the reporter is asking him if he made Comey swear an oath to be loyal to him, but then got crossed up - Very odd exchange indeed.
