Another press conference



From the latest Trump press conference, within the last hour....

Jon Sopel: Could I just ask you...thank you very much Mr. President...the travel...
Donald Trump: Where are you from?
Jon Sopel: BBC.
Donald Trump: Here's another beauty!
Jon Sopel: It's a good line. Impartial, free and fair. 
Donald Trump: Yeah, sure.
Jon Sopel: Mr. President...
Donald Trump: Just like CNN, right?
Jon SopelOn the travel ban...we could banter back and forth...On the travel ban, would you accept that that was a good example of the smooth running of government?...
Donald Trump: Yeah I do. Yeah I do.
Jon Sopel: Were there any mistakes in that?
Donald Trump: Let me tell you...Wait! Wait! Wait! I know who you are. Just wait!.....

A couple of minutes later (after answering Jon Sopel's question)....

Donald Trump: But we need help and we need help getting that executive order passed.
Jon Sopel: Just a brief follow-up. 
Donald Trump: Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [looking around the room]....
Jon Sopel: If it's so urgent, why not introduce....?
Donald Trump: Yes. Go ahead! [to a different reporter, who then asks a question]


P.S. And if that hasn't made you regret not watching it live, here's President Trump helpfully spelling out what uranium is:

Donald Trump: You know what uranium is, right? It's a thing called 'nuclear weapons', and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things.
