Revealing moment from Trump's presser:

[kpete]

Trump says he trusts Kim. If he's wrong? "I may be wrong, I mean, I may stand before you in six months and say, 'Hey I was wrong,'" said Trump, adding, "I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse."

1. "Excuse" is either a scapegoat and/or lie

[Orsino]

2. Trump offers nothing but empty promises and excuses.

Oh, yeah--there are also his denials of failure and attempts to spin faceplants into successes.

[brush]

27. Yep, that quote is an unwitting reveal of trump through and through.

And he's so dense he doesn't even seem to know he told on himself in all his feckless, mendacious glory/non-glory.

Trump says Kim is a great guy he's honored to meet but our closest, long-time ally Trudeau is a a backstabber.

We are so screwed.

[Cha]

3. That's your whole goddamn life.. a Poor Excuse

for a human being.. MF.

You need to be fired and put out of your misery.

[brer cat]

6. lolol

[Cha]

33. ..

GOTV

[Freethinker65]

4. The buck doesn't stop with Trump, but he will continue to accept them

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. DUZY!

[brush]

28. Take a bow for that winner.

[AwakeAtLast]

30. Tweet that

Instant classic!

5. He was nervously gushing.

It was so embarrassing.

[Pepsidog]

7. My outrage is exhausted.

[bitterross]

8. That's the closest he's come to telling the truth.

He admitted he'll never say he's wrong.

[IronLionZion]

9. Asshole from the day he was born

it's how he's lived his whole life and his secret to success.

[LittleGirl]

10. I'm so thankful

I'm packing up my recently sold house and moving out right now so I don't have to watch this dog and pony show.

[Duppers]

11. Where are you moving?

[LittleGirl]

12. back to Europe

while we wait for my spouse to get a transfer back to the states. Or we make our life there. Who knows anymore.

The job security world wide is impossible to plan. We are just surviving. I moved back here in Mar '17 to get the house ready to sell. I waited all summer, winter and spring and said, enough waiting. My spouse and I have been married 11.5 yrs and this has been our longest separation. My friends that are from the UK will ask me about the POTUS and I will shrug my shoulders and say...I didn't vote for that hot mess. He's a disgrace.

[BlueJac]

13. His usual nonsense!

[vlyons]

14. more alarming to me

was his statement that Kim is a great guy. Very funny. He has a great personality.

Just perfect to co-star in Trump's reality show.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Yeah great guy

Lots of great guys kill family members with anti-aircraft guns. We wouldn't say that about anybody who did something here. I believe that Trump envies people like Kim, Duatarte, et. al because they have powers that he wish he had. I believe very strongly that Trump wants to be a dictator but is forced to operate in a system that (so far) has successfully resisted dictatorships.

[cynatnite]

15. In tRump's world it's a sign of weakness. n/t

[JI7]

16. And the media will just let it slide while asking why Clinton should apologize

For Lewinsky.

[iluvtennis]

25. Exactly.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. I know that anything could have happened potentially

but it seems like we were wrong to worry about Trump making some kind of historic breakthrough.

[SHRED]

20. I fixed it

21. Dump.

[Fritz Walter]

22. WRONG!!

In six months, he and his stooges will blame:
• Justin Trudeau
• Emmanuel Macron
• President Barack Obama
• Hillary Clinton
• Fake News
• Robert Mueller
• Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, the Turd

...all of the above.

[First Speaker]

23. Jesus. It's literally true--Rufus T Firefly is running the country...

...with apologies to DU's Rufus T Firefly. "I'll find some kind of excuse"...this, literally, is something Groucho would have said. "Whatever it is, I'm against it"...and I'll find an excuse...

[czarjak]

24. "I whine until I get my way"?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. Trump thinks Canada is a National Security threat & doesn't trust it. But Kim, Putin "honorable". nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

29. His occasional outbursts of truth telling are infrequent, yet memorable.

What advice would he give himself? "Don't run for president".

Telling Lester Holt "I said to myself, this Russia thing is a made up story".

And now this. "I may not admit (being wrong), but I'll find some kind of excuse".

Are they just uncontrolled urges? What purpose do they have?

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. He'll blame President Obama.

[CrispyQ]

32. A trait he has in common with his supporters - they don't admit when they are wrong.

In fact, they often double down.
