These reporters breaking news to Donald Trump perfectly captures the state of the White House right now – 17 totally on-point responses
To the White House now – no, stick with us – where the leader of the free world Donald Trump has been getting his breaking news from reporters who have turned up to ask him questions.
And it you’re thinking – shouldn’t it be Trump breaking the news to everyone else? – then you’re not the only ones.
Q: “Vance said Russia was asking for too much to end the war.”
Trump: “When did he say that?”
Q: “Earlier this morning.”
Trump: “Well, it’s possible that’s right. He may know some things.” pic.twitter.com/K1Khf8Kfu5

It’s clear in this administration, Trump is the auto-pen. He hasn’t a clue what he’s signing or saying.

If it wasn’t for media questions, Trump wouldn’t know what the fuck was going on.
