Jesus. The first press briefing of the President-Elect is terrible.
I can’t help but contrast this rambling, stumbling idiot with President Obama’s oratory skills.

“BREAKING: Donald Trump is an imbecile.”
Every now and then you have to remind yourself that we elected Donald Fucking Trump president. This “press conference” is one of those times. He’s so far out of his league, he can’t even see it from here.

So he just said this in the briefing… and he DID get the debate questions beforehand, and bitched about them to Megyn Kelly.
On the optimism front, he just hinted he’s going to allow Medicare/Medicaid to negotiate drug prices.
Just imagine what the Inaugural Address will be like!
The President-Elect just lawyered up at his own press conference. You have to laugh.

It’s so nuts that Trump brings people to applaud and cheer him at his press conferences.
All those manila folders are dummy parperwork, right? Nobody believes that is actual legal documents signed by Trump and Co?
So, no divestment of the Trump Organisation holdings. It’s put in a “trust”, notably not a blind trust, with an ethics advisor that has to sign off on potentially dodgy deals/actions. No word yet on who the ethics advisor is, beyond a “recognised expert in the field of government experts [sic]”.
And then he just ran away.
Amazing.
The next four years will be like watching Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum. Except Zero Mostel’s character was clever.
Wait, Trump didn’t have a compliance lawyer before? That explains a lot.

Meanwhile, Marco Rubio is wrecking Tillerson at his hearing:

I thought the experts were the problem?

Only other people’s experts (ie ones that say things one doesn’t agree with or like).
Like scientists.
WTF is this reliving the glory days of his rallies shit?
