ME, mommy ME!


Donald Trump held a press conference to talk about his favorite subject: HIMSELF.



Asked about whether he believed the women who had made accusations of inappropriate conduct against Brett Kavanaugh, Trump responded: "I've been accused ... by four or five women, who got paid a lot of money to make up stories about me who made a lot of money."



(Fact check: More than a dozen women have accused Trump of a variety of charges relating to sexual behavior. He has threatened to sue those women after the conclusion of the 2016 campaign. He hasn't filed a single lawsuit.)



Comparing his accusers to Kavanaugh’s made Senate Republicans groan.



Trump turns questions at press conferences into soliloquies about his greatness.



When asked about Kim Jong Un, Trump said that if he had not been elected president, the United States and North Korea would be at war.



When asked about his planned meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Trump said that Rosenstein had been "very nice" to him.



When asked about Kavanaugh's accusers, Trump noted that he had won 52% of the female vote in 2016. (Fact check 3: He actually won 41% of the women's vote.



When asked about the impact of his tariffs on farmers, he noted that farmers love him.



When he called on a reporter for The New York Times, he said the reporter should thank him for the profits the company was making.



Trump often turns the conversation to himself. Today was another hour-long “look at me mommy-a-thon.”
