Over the course of roughly 15 minutes, Trump poured scorn on several groups of people including Democrats, the media, and undocumented immigrants. For the second-straight day, he also undercut the case hes trying to make that the situation at the border warrants a national emergency declaration.
The Democrats, which Ive been saying all along, they dont give a damn about crime, the president said. They dont care about gang members coming in and stabbing people and cutting people up.
Theyve been taken over by a group of young people, who frankly, in some cases, Ive been watching, I actually think theyre crazy, he said. They have been taken over by a group of people that dont care about gangs, they dont care about human trafficking and drugs they dont care about anything.
Asked by a reporter to specify at which point in history he thinks a crisis on the southern border began, Trump instead went on the attack against the press.
Look, you can all play cute, and Id say 80 percent of you are possibly in cooperation with the opposition party, Trump said. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.

Is there someone on the planet who is the true opposite? Like an anti-fuckface? Someone who's really easy on the eyes, speaks in pleasing tones, and conveys thoughts that inspire and bring joy to people? I'm generally not a big fan of cults of personality, but the world needs an antidote to this madness.

Theyve been taken over by a group of Russians people, who frankly, in some cases, Ive been watching, I actually think theyre crazy, he said. They have been taken over by a group of people like Epstein that dont care about gangs, they dont care about human trafficking and drugs they dont care about anything except the 1%ers.
And Dear Miles Archer, we all know this pos doesn't have ANY standards. He is a mean and nasty old man.
