Trump to reporters: "We should probably get rid of about another 75-80 percent of you."

TRUMP attacks reporters: "You're actually sitting too close. We should probably get rid of about another 75-80 percent of you. I'll have just two or three of you that I like in this room. I think that's a great way of doing it."

I can't imagine how they could sit there and take his blatant abuse. He was worse in this press conference than he previous ones. He did, however, have very nice things to say about himself and his administration.

He just can't help himself. He can only talk for so long before he has to insult and slander other people. Its in his nature. And even when he wasn't insulting people and covering his own ass, he was giving inaccurate information.
