President Trump was in rare form today…

At today’s White House press conference, Trump issued one savage reply after another at our fumbling media.

The first media smackdown took place when a reporter told the president they were just “checking in” on oil, which Trump quickly cut off and point-blank asked the reporter if he knew the current oil prices.

The reporter struggled to answer, to which Trump immediately cut him off and went onto the next question.

You almost felt bad for this pathetic reporter…

Oh, but it didn’t stop there…

Trump then issued his best zinger of all in this video:

On Friday, President Trump’s approval rating hit 45.8 percent — the highest since January 25, 2017, according to FiveThirtyEight’s presidential approval tracker. The timing suggests that the increase in his popularity is related to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which most Americans think he is managing well. [FiveThirtyEight]
