This was the one we all knew was coming, when Trump, like a drug addict insisting on that final hit, would insist on this last press conference before he became an official loser. No matter how ridiculous or shameful the display, he could convince himself that he had yet again pleased his voters and that they'd return him to office for four more years of safety not only from criminal prosecution, but also from being treated as a common man, an ordinary citizen - and especially, as a loser.īut after years of bullying, pouting and lying from the podium, this was Donald Trump’s most historic press conference.
