Fox on Trump: "[he] sounds insane"



Quick! Clean up!
Press conference clip:
00:23
Reporter: “Is Russia still targeting the US, Mr. President?”
Trump: “no.”
01:10
Trump: “There’s never been a President as tough on Russia as I have been.”

Fox gang:
01:18
Fox host 1: "All right, so the President there talking about, uh, his record with Russia—'as well as anybody has ever done with Russia'...."
. . .
Fox host 2: [Trump was asked:] “‘Are they [the Russians] still meddling?’… and [Trump] said ‘no,’ … all he said was ‘no,’ which sounds insane.”
Clean up the clean-up!
Fox host 3: “It does sound insane.”
Fox host 2: “It could be that he believes we’re stopping the meddling at this point….”
Fox host 3: “We’re working really hard to make this sound reasonable….”
Fox host 2: "No no no no, I’m not working hard to make it sound reasonable, because it doesn’t sound remotely reasonable; …it sounds insane….”

     NOT LONG AFTER, Trump's press secretary held a press conference in which she stated that Trump's "no" was a "no" to further questions, not to whether Russia is still meddling.
     Nobody's buying that one either.
