Yes Trump pretended he was de-escalating to get the Senate Dems to back off, leave them alone. It's why we need to keep the pressure on people. Call your Senators today!

"Fico seemed to be 'traumatized' by his encounter with Trump, one of the European diplomats said. Fico characterized Trump as being 'out of his mind,' a diplomat said, using the words briefed to them by their leader, who was directly involved in the conversation."
Slovak PM Robert Fico was left shocked by Donald Trump’s state of mind after a recent meeting with him, he told his European counterparts at a summit last week, according to five diplomats briefed on the conversation.
