President Donald Trump on Friday spoke in front of a gaggle of reporters and made a series of unhinged and outright false claims about his political opponents, the still-anonymous whistleblower, and the news media.
Below are the highlights from the president’s latest crazed rant.
1.) Trump says that the whistleblower should be exposed as the whistleblower’s lawyer “sued for treason.”
2.) Trump says he might endorse Jeff Sessions after all because the former attorney general said “very nice things” about him in his campaign launch video.
3.) Trump says he doesn’t know the man whom he appointed to be America’s ambassador to the European Union.
4.) Trump melted down and kept yelling, “Quiet!” at a reporter.
5.) Trump stuns reporters by saying he might attend Russia’s May Day military parade.
“President Putin invited me to the — it’s a very big deal!” he said. “Celebrating the end of the war, etc., etc. A very big deal. So I appreciate the invitation… I would love to go if I could.”
