He is off in his own twisted little world...

Here are just two questions he "answered" at the press conference...

From the first question- here is the extremely respectful and legitimate question from a Jewish reporter:

"Despite what some of my colleagues may have been reporting, I haven’t seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic. We understand that you have Jewish grandchildren. You are their zayde,” which is Yiddish for “grandfather” and often a word of great affection.

At that Mr. Trump nodded slightly, and said, “thank you.”

“However,” Mr. Turx continued, “what we are concerned about and what we haven’t really heard being addressed is an uptick in anti-Semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it. There’s been a report out that 48 bomb threats have been made against Jewish centers all across the country in the last couple of weeks. There are people committing anti-Semitic acts or threatening to——”

At that, Mr. Trump interrupted, saying it was “not a fair question.”

TRUMP:…he said he was gonna ask a very simple, easy question. And it’s not, its not, not — not a simple question, not a fair question. OK sit down, I understand the rest of your question.
So here’s the story, folks. Number one, I am the least anti- Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person. In fact, we did very well relative to other people running as a Republican — quiet, quiet, quiet.
See, he lied about — he was gonna get up and ask a very straight, simple question, so you know, welcome to the world of the media. But let me just tell you something, that I hate the charge, I find it repulsive.
I hate even the question because people that know me and you heard the prime minister, you heard Ben Netanyahu (ph) yesterday, did you hear him, Bibi? He said, I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time and then he said, forget it.
So you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that.


It is like Trump is giving an answer to a question that was heard only in his mind....
He is not in touch with reality... Whether you are republican or democrat that should scare the hell out of you...

The second question is addressing his lie earlier in the press conference when he claimed he got the most electoral votes since Reagan- something anyone with a smartphone could check...

That’s all I’m doing. I put it out before the American people, got 306 electoral college votes. I wasn’t supposed to get 222. They said there’s no way to get 222, 230’s impossible.
270 which you need, that was laughable. We got 306 because people came out and voted like they’ve never seen before so that’s the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan. In other words, the media’s trying to attack our administration because they know we are following through on pledges that we made and they’re not happy about it for whatever reason.

His claim was later challenged a NBC reporter Peter Alexander, who responded: “Very simply, you said today that you had the biggest electoral margin since Ronald Reagan, with 304, 306 electoral votes.

“The fact that President Obama got 365…”

Trump interrupted: “Well I’m talking about Republican.”
When the reporter points out George HW Bush won 426 electoral college votes in 1988, Trump responds: “Well, I don't know, I was given that information. I was given that. We had a very big margin.”

Asked why Americans should trust him, he responded: “Actually, I've seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory, do you agree with that?”
