Now: Trump touts trade deals and talks with world leaders at UN. Says his tariffs haven’t had any impact at all on the economy. He’s says he’s not happy about the Fed raising interest rates but it’s b/c “we’re doing much better than anybody ever thought possible.” 
Trump: “It wouldn’t have mattered if FBI came back with clean record, Democrats wouldn’t vote for Kavanaugh. But the FBI really doesn’t do that (investigate). Democrats are con artists. These are false accusations.”
Trump: This is a big fat con job. I’d love to be in the room to see Schumer laughing with the Democrats. 36 years no charge. Then all of a sudden this. Then Avenatti another con artist adds more. Kavanaugh is a great man. He’ll be a great Justice. The way they’ve hurt his family.
When called on in presser, Jim @Acosta suggests to Trump that he call on woman reporter next. Then Jim asks: You always seem to side with the accused (in sexual assault cases). Is it because you were accused yourself?
Trump: No, those were false accusations.
Trump: No, those were false accusations.
Trump: Women who accused me were paid. People do that for fame & money. Mainstream media refused to report but FoxNews did. I’m a famous person. The @NyTimes is fake news & published a fake story. A lot of the news is fake. The woman on the plane said that when my book was no 1.
Trump: I’d prefer not to fire Rosenstein. He said he did not say that. I believe him. I may delay meeting with him tomorrow. I want to focus on Kavanaugh/Supreme Court. I want to let the investigation finish. There is no collusion, no obstruction. (Now rambling on “terrible” FBI)
Right after a question about the 25the Amendment, Trump’s asked about North Korea and he gives an answer about Iran. Says he’s given nothing to NK—“not like Obama did and give them 1.8 billion. I gave them nothing.” “We were a country going to war” until me.
Trump: Democrats are doing the same con job with Kavanaugh nomination that they did with Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia! Kavanaugh was so thrilled when I called. I don’t want ppl to turn me down b/c of this con job. The people who complain the most are women, y’know...
Trump: We have no deal with Canada. Canada’s bad. The Kurds are great. 10s of 1000s died for us, and they died for themselves. They died for themselves.
Trump is talking non-stop, like he’s manic, jumping from topic to topic. Reminds me of the last WH presser he gave, Feb 2017

Trump: @Nytimes report that UN leaders laughed at me is fake news. I heard a little rustle. It was fun. They weren’t laughing at me, it was WITH me. They had a good time with me. They respect what I’ve done. US wasn’t respected before me.
Trump’s bragging about “biggest most beautiful conference ever” in Saudi Arabia with the biggest leaders, I mean the biggest. About 12 of them said, peace won’t happen. But it will happen. Either 2state or 1. Whatever they want. I’m a facilitator. I want peace. “I’m not bragging”
Asked what message he sends to young men about this cultural moment, Trump: Good question. It is a big moment & it’s very dangerous. It’s a con job. These are false accusations. But we’ll never know the truth. What happened to innocent until proven guilty, that beautiful phrase?
I feel like I just got off a roller coaster that was stuck off the rails and upside down for 80 some odd minutes. My stomach is still not settled. Trump’s nonstop jibberish masks a guy not in touch with reality, or where the majority of Americans are on really every key issue. 🤯
This @ddale8 THREAD covers all the boasting, exaggerations, confusion, errors, falsehoods, and straight-up inventions & lies from today’s press conference. Trump definitely has the gift of gab, a dangerous thing b/c he uses it to drown out reality w/ lies.
The Trump Cult gaslight take: “This press conference is exactly why we fought so hard to elect @realDonaldTrump Strong, decisive, clear, confident, with an American first vision. He should do this many times a week. He is his own best advocate”

All the bizarre stuff Trump said about women at his news conference. From not calling on women reporters, to telling one to sit down (she didn't), to calling women "angry," the whole thing went really well 😳😬😱 buzzfeednews.com/article/briann… via @BuzzFeedNews
Transcript of Trump’s bizarro press conference today on Kavanaugh, women, UN laughter, Rosenstein, mixing up Iran & North Korea, and unfortunately, so much more. (Bookmark for your dissertation, should we survive this insanity) via @voxdotcom vox.com/2018/9/26/1790…
