Dear Lord, where did Trump get all those "facts" during the press conference?

Even the Italian interpreter was shocked and stopped translating.

He has gone from billion$ to trillion$ in the amount of money he has spent on the military/conflicts.

It isn't any of our business to get involved in the present conflict with Syria/Turkey. Not our fault. The Kurds will get along fine.

The best economy in our history.

On and on and on, ad nauseum.

The guy is totally off his pedestal.

It was pretty stomach turning. The Italian president looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

"Wasn't that the weirdest thing ever?"

"And he's so orange! How does anybody get to be so orange?"

"What the hell is wrong with that guy?"

imagining a similar conversation between Putin and some strongman friend.

"Can you believe this guy?" [shows genuine astonishment]

"I figured we might get some good stuff out of him, but little things. I mean, it's the United States. I thought they had layers."

"Apparently we thought wrong." [bemused]

"How much longer?"

"I dunno, but I plan to make hay..." [smirk]

But it's dark and stinky in there, which explains the quality of the so-called facts.
