Here is the transcript of the exchange:

Question: Mr. President, talking about the policy issues that you all were focusing on the last few days here at Camp David but this morning you were tweeting about your mental state. Why did you feel the need to tweet about that this morning?

Trump: Only because I went to the best colleges, or college. I went to — I had a situation where I was a very excellent student, came out and made billions and billions of dollars, became one of the top business people. Went to television and for ten years was a tremendous success, as you probably have heard. Ran for president one time and won. And then I hear this guy that does not know me, doesn’t know me at all, by the way, did not interview me — he said he interviewed me for three hours in the white house. It didn’t exist, okay. It’s in his imagination. And what I was heartened by, because I talk about fake news and the fake news media, was really was the fact that so many of the people that I talk about in terms of fake news actually came to the defense of this great administration and even myself because they know the author and they know he’s a fraud. And when I saw some of the people say, and you look at some of his past books, he did a book on Rupert Murdoch. It was a terrible expose, and it was false, so much of it was false. I consider it a work of fiction. And I think it’s a disgrace that somebody is able to have something, do something like that.

Trump has dodged holding a one on one press conference with the media in the White House for a year, but he felt compelled to hold this press gaggle and take questions because he had to defend his intelligence. Notice that nothing Trump said actually had anything to do with intelligence or mental stability. Trump said he went to the best colleges and was an excellent student, but he offered no proof that he was an excellent student.

An ex-professor of Trump’s at Wharton called him, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” Trump didn’t build a business empire. He was born rich, went bankrupt multiple times, and is under investigation for potential financial crimes related to Russia.

As far as being successful on reality television, the Real Housewives and the Kardashians have been successful on reality television, but nobody would want any of those people running the country.

The media has not been defending Trump. They have been doing their jobs and asking questions about the sourcing of the book. Most members of the mainstream media agree that the description of Trump in the book matches up with what people inside the White House have been telling them about the President.

Only a moron would hold a press conference to say that he is not a moron.

Trump is only making things worse and is on the fast track to being a one term or less president.
