OMG: Trump LETS IT SLIP During DISASTER Presser
Harry Sisson
0:00 Well, folks, this surprise press conference that Donald
0:02 Trump had inside the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C.
0:05 I'm not joking.
0:06 He was actually inside of the pool while speaking to reporters,
0:10 certainly did not go to plan for him.
0:12 He ranted about a variety of topics,
0:14 none of which instills confidence in the American people,
0:17 such as the Iran war, the hantavirus, and more.
0:19 He even accidentally let it slip and called a woman
0:23 reporter a b i t c h under his breath.
0:26 It was caught on camera, which we will talk about in this video as well.
0:30 show you the clip.
0:31 Not a good moment for Donald Trump.
0:34 Just more incoherence from him,
0:35 which I would once again argue is an example of his rapid decline.
0:40 But, let's just start here with the first clip.
0:42 So, first of all, I do want to show
0:44 you that it was inside the reflecting pool in D.C.
0:47 This is from Steven Cheung, one of Donald Trump's senior advisors.
0:50 He is one of the most difficult people to look at when you see him in person.
0:54 This is inside the reflecting pool.
0:55 You can see All the way in the background is Capitol Hill.
0:58 There's the Washington Monument.
0:59 Behind the camera is the Lincoln Memorial.
1:02 And the pool has been entirely drained because
1:04 for some reason Donald Trump is spending taxpayer dollars,
1:08 your taxpayer dollars, on repainting the reflecting pool because
1:11 that's the most important thing, right?
1:13 Not like people need health care or the economy sucks
1:15 or we're in the middle of a war or anything like that.
1:17 It's the reflecting pool that's the most important.
1:19 And so, the first question that Donald
1:21 Trump was asked is actually about the hantavirus,
1:24 which is very much in the news.
1:25 We talked about it on the show today.
1:27 And when I said that he wasn't instilling confidence in the American people,
1:31 this is what I was kind of referencing.
1:32 It kind of gives me flashbacks to 2020 with COVID.
1:36 So, just take a look at this back and forth with this reporter.
1:39 I'm Jonathan with ABC News.
1:40 Can I ask you about the hantavirus?
1:42 Have you been briefed on the virus at all?
1:45 Can you tell us what you've learned in these briefings?
1:47 Well, they're going to be told everything and you already have.
1:51 It's very much, we hope, under control.
1:54 There was the ship, and I think we're
1:56 going to make a full report about it tomorrow.
1:58 We have a lot of people a lot of great people who are studying it.
2:02 It should be fine.
2:03 We hope.
2:04 should Americans be concerned that it's going to spread?
2:06 And how are you going to get not.
2:07 I mean, I hope not.
2:08 We'll do the best we can.
2:09 Yeah.
2:09 And yet the Americans that are on the
2:12 Uh yeah, I'm not I'm not feeling good about that answer.
2:15 I mean, he says that they're putting together a report on the hantavirus.
2:19 Who?
2:20 RFK Jr.
2:21 and his goons?
2:23 Or who else in the CDC or the HHS
2:25 broadly is going to be putting this report together?
2:28 Donald Trump has fired all of them.
2:30 He's outed all of the scientists who care about actual science.
2:33 So, I'm just curious like who is actually behind this report?
2:37 And the fact that he was asked you like,
2:39 you know, should Americans be concerned about this?
2:41 You know, what's the what's the latest?
2:43 He says, "Well, I hope not." Well,
2:45 that doesn't that doesn't make me feel any better about it.
2:48 You know, he says, "I hope it's being contained."
2:50 What do you mean it you hope it's being contained?
2:52 You're the president of the United States.
2:53 Might this be something that you're informed about?
2:56 You know, on regularly the president would be,
2:59 but of course with this guy, he's only caring about his ballroom.
3:02 He only cares about the reflecting pool that he's redoing in Washington, D.C.
3:06 Not a great answer from Donald Trump if you're asking me.
3:09 Then on Iran, I want to show you a couple clips on that before
3:12 we get to the uh the really gross comment he made to that woman reporter.
3:17 On Iran, he was asked about today's strikes.
3:19 Yes, the United States States is back to striking Iran.
3:22 Donald Trump says that the war is over and that the ceasefire is lasting,
3:26 but we're simultaneously bombing Iran.
3:29 And this is what he had to say about the strikes today.
3:31 After the strike, is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
3:36 Yeah, it is.
3:36 It's They trifled with us today.
3:40 We blew them away.
3:41 They trifled.
3:42 They call that a trifle.
3:43 I'll let you know when there's no cease.
3:45 You won't have to know.
3:47 If there's no ceasefire, you're not going to have to know.
3:49 You're just going to have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran.
3:53 And they better sign their agreement fast.
3:56 Could you give us an update on what is the latest in those talks and second
3:59 going The talks are going very well,
4:01 but they have to understand if it doesn't get signed,
4:04 they're going to have a lot of pain.
4:06 They're going to have a lot of pain.
4:08 What was the to sign it.
4:09 I will tell you.
4:10 They want to sign it a lot more than I do.
4:12 What was their response?
4:14 I think that's what you want to hear, fellas, right?
4:16 Or do you want to hear a different tone?
4:19 That's the only thing they understand.
4:20 They don't understand it.
4:22 We had Okay.
4:24 And then immediately after he was asked,
4:26 "How close are you to a deal?" And this is what he said.
4:29 How close would you say that you are to a deal right now with Iran?
4:33 Could happen any day.
4:35 Could And it might not happen, but it could happen any day.
4:38 I believe they want the deal more than I do.
4:43 So, we've heard that exact same line from Donald
4:45 Trump how many times now that a deal is imminent,
4:48 that it's right around the corner, two weeks, and then it never happens.
4:52 And so, when he's saying, you know, a deal is is on the table,
4:55 we're getting there, I don't believe a word of it.
4:57 And if there actually is a deal that's being worked
5:00 on and Donald Trump is on the verge of agreeing to it,
5:02 Iran is on the verge of agreeing to it,
5:04 I have no faith that it's favorable for the United States.
5:07 I mean, he accepted Iran's 10-point plan as the basis of which to negotiate on.
5:12 That's conceding to them automatically.
5:15 So, I'm not exactly hopeful about what might be going on behind the scenes,
5:19 but I I find it remarkable that his argument is like, "Yeah,
5:23 we bombed Iran, but the ceasefire, which is meant to be us not bombing Iran,
5:28 is still on." That kind of seems a little contradictory to me.
5:31 That kind of seems like a big problem to me.
5:33 I don't know.
5:34 Maybe I'm just a crazy liberal, but I think if you're bombing somebody,
5:37 you're probably not in a ceasefire with whoever you're bombing.
5:40 I don't know.
5:41 May May I guess that's just uh the liberal in me, you know.
5:44 The Republicans, I'm sure, will say that.
5:46 Here's where Donald Trump snaps, letting it slip at this reporter.
5:50 I believe it's Rachel Scott from ABC.
5:52 You can correct me if I'm wrong in the comments if I got it incorrect.
5:55 Uh she asked, "Why focus on all of these projects
5:58 as gas prices are soaring?" A great question.
6:02 A question that I'm thinking about, I'm sure you're thinking about as well.
6:05 And Donald Trump did not like the question one bit,
6:07 calling it a stupid question.
6:09 And then he continued to to rant
6:11 at her and to just ramble incoherently with his answer.
6:13 Watch.
6:19 Mr.
6:19 President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran.
6:22 Why focus on all these projects right now with soaring gas prices?
6:26 to keep our country beautiful and safe.
6:29 Beautiful also.
6:31 This was a disgusting place.
6:34 It was Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial,
6:39 and we had a a terrible discuss I don't
6:42 you you probably don't see dirt, but I do.
6:45 And you walk down this this pond.
6:47 If you would have walked down they'll tell you better than anybody.
6:50 They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads
6:53 of garbage out of that lake out of that water.
6:55 It sat there for years like that.
6:58 And that's not what our country's about.
6:59 Our country's about beauty, cleanliness, safety,
7:03 great people, not a filthy capital.
7:06 What is the status Such a stupid question you asked.
7:09 You We're fixing up the reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial,
7:14 the Washington Monument, and you say, "Why are you fixing it up?" Because you
7:19 can understand dirt maybe better than I can, but I don't allow it.
7:23 This is one of the worst reporters She's with ABC fake news,
7:27 and she's a horror show.
7:29 She's saying, "Why would you bother fixing this up?
7:31 Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth out
7:35 of the water in front of the Lincoln
7:37 Monument?" That's what made our country great.
7:41 Beauty made our country People made our country great.
7:44 A question like that is a disgrace to our country.
7:47 Any other questions?
7:49 So I I wasn't kidding when I said that he snapped.
7:52 What the hell was that?
7:55 And you're the president of the United States and you are berating
7:59 a reporter for asking a question that by the way we're all thinking about.
8:03 And look, if this is Donald Trump's tactic for the midterms,
8:07 we're right around the corner.
8:08 Six-ish months away, maybe five.
8:10 If this is Donald Trump's tactic
8:12 for the midterms to insult people who are wondering
8:15 why you're focused on pet projects in DC
8:18 as opposed to making things more affordable,
8:21 I encourage Donald Trump to run with this tactic.
8:23 While Democrats are talking about the price of things,
8:26 the price of groceries, gas, housing, whatever it might be,
8:29 Donald Trump is talking about the reflecting pool in DC.
8:32 He's talking about the Washington Monument.
8:34 He's talking about beauty as something that makes
8:37 America great and that's so vital to people's lives.
8:40 Beauty of a reflecting pool in DC,
8:42 which if you've been to DC it's already very nice.
8:45 So I I I mean incoherence,
8:48 a terrible strategy for him and the Republicans going forward.
8:51 Incredibly rude and gross that he is picking on this one woman
8:55 reporter and just berating her like this in front of his administration,
8:59 in front of the entire country, might I add as well.
9:01 I mean this is on C-SPAN we're talking about here.
9:04 And then he goes on to call her a b i t c h.
9:08 Trump later called the same reporter,
9:09 Rachel Scott Scott of ABC A as you can see it right there.
9:12 And just look at look at it what he mouths here.
9:14 Look.
9:17 Just I'm going to I'm going to play this a couple of times for you.
9:24 He definitely said that.
9:27 He Let's let's I'm going to do one more zoom in.
9:35 He's really living up to who we believe him to be.
9:38 I mean, Donald Trump never disappoints in the sense
9:40 that he is always proving us right.
9:43 That he's a terrible man, a terrible president,
9:45 and just an awful person overall.
9:48 I mean, you're the president, you're behaving like this.
9:51 Disgraceful, disgusting, beneath the office of the president,
9:55 but not beneath someone like Donald Trump who behaves this way all the time.
9:59 I'm just grossed out.
10:00 And so, that was Donald Trump's presser.
10:03 There were other moments as well that he had where, for example, he was asked,
10:08 "You know, you've repeatedly said the taxpayers would not pay for the ballroom.
10:11 Why are taxpayers now paying a billion dollars for it?" He said, "They're not.
10:15 That's for many other projects." What
10:17 projects could he possibly be talking about?
10:19 The White House said it's for the ballroom.
10:21 And so, he just, you know, keeps rambling incoherently about that as well.
10:24 But, just a gross press conference overall.
10:26 You can let me know what you think about it in the comments if you
10:28 saw something I didn't in different clips
10:30 you might have seen from different media outlets.
