Donald Trump, who is still our president, gave a press conference at the UN today, and even by his significantly debased standards it was an absurd and incoherent spectacle. During the long, rambling event Trump dismissed claims of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh, called Democrats “con artists” for wanting those accusations to be investigated, claimed China had “total respect” for Trump’s “very, very large brain,” predicted that he’d be endorsed by almost every major news organization in the next presidential election, claimed that Democrats today would vote against George Washington (a slave-owner who’s been dead for almost 220 years), and called Kurdish journalist Rahim Rashidi “Mr. Kurd.” It almost felt like somebody dared him that he couldn’t do his most ridiculous press conference yet right before he walked up to the podium, and Trump did everything possible to prove he could. Of course it inspired a raft of great memes and tweets, and here are the funniest ones of the bunch.
A bad thing is that the headlines from this press conference will be “President Trump Questions Kavanaugh Accusers” when a more accurate description is “Incoherent President Rambles Like Crazy Shoeless Man in Public Park”
If anything Donald Trump said during this press conference made sense to you, then you probably shouldn’t be able to pass a mental health background check for an AR-15. #TrumpPressConference
Dear Mr. Trump: George Washington literally owned people as property. And yes, in 2018 the Democrats are the only party that would probably use that against him. #TrumpPressConference
I did not watch the #TrumpPressConference. You could have told me he did a racist freestyle rap, devolved into an orange and pink blob of flesh and hair, and devoured 14 reporters and I’d still be like “yeah no shit, what did you think would happen?”
