Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

The man with three Marine sons who was beaten by ICE thugs apparently is focused on finishing a job he had been working on for a client.
Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan want to kick him out of the country. But doesn't he sound like the kind of person who is the very backbone of America?
