Trump Brags About Election Win (Again) In Joint Press Conference With Trudeau

Source: Talking Points Memo



By ESME CRIBB Published FEBRUARY 13, 2017, 2:44 PM EDT

President Donald Trump congratulated himself on Monday during a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for winning the 2016 election on a platform of immigration enforcement and mass deportations.

"President Trump, you seemed to suggest that Syrian refugees are a Trojan horse for potential terrorism, while the prime minister hugs refugees and welcomes them with open arms," a reporter asked. "Are you confident the northern border is secure?"

"You can never be totally confident," Trump said.

Trump praised Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly for doing a "great job" of deporting "very, very hardened criminals" so far.

A family of grifters has taken over our once venerable WH. The con man-in-chief has to make sure that he's still making money for his business while in office. Neither Ivanka nor Kushner should be sitting at meetings with foreign leaders. Nepotism and cronyism will be two major characteristics of Trump's corrupt administration. We are being governed by a kakistocracy.

Trump has managed to combine aggressive stupidity with a non-existent vocabulary and a question-answer attention deficit that must be setting new world records.

How did this guy make it through a whole day even BEFORE he was president?

the boy-potus puppet is really just a front man for those two that epitomizes the culture of ameriKKKa that had remained hidden in plain sight for generations. Now the mean spirited nature of a country born on the genocide of hundreds of thousands of First-americans and the build up of this nation done by enslaving a whole race of people has come to fruition. And by the way donnie boy-potus puppet, Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos was NOT a hardened criminal but refer to prior statement for reasons of deportation of this mother of two........after being here 20 fucking years and reporting in every year to INS.

donnie boy puppet potus, I am not confident that my america will survive you and the two hidden in plain sight presidents...bannon and miller.

He sits in the oval office and he's still a loser. He talks like a loser. He acts like a loser. He has to constantly stroke himself like a loser will who feels unappreciated for their mediocre, at best, efforts.

Loser.

......Trump praised Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly for doing a "great job" of deporting "very, very hardened criminals" so far.

"That's what I said I would do. I'm just doing what I said I would do, and we won by a very, very large electoral college vote," Trump said.

Trump said that he "knew" he would win.

"I knew this is what people were wanting. That wasn't the only reason, that wasn't my only thing that we did so well on, but that was something that was very important," Trump said. "I think that in the end, everyone is going to be extremely happy. And I will tell you right now, a lot of people are very, very happy right now."
