TRUMP’S PRESS CONFERENCE: “Most of this press conference is above politics, and his answer to this question is, ultimately, that we need to work together and be above politics, but Trump dives straight into politics at this point, and he’s blunt and, I think, very effective. He says Pelosi is ‘incompetent’ and ‘not thinking about the country.’ He points to the doctors on stage with him and says they are ‘the most talented people in the world’ and ‘they shouldn’t be demeaned.’ He says, Nancy Pelosi knows what she is saying is not true, ‘she’s trying to create a panic,’ and she’s ‘trying to get a political advantage’ when what is needed is for everyone to work together.”
