4:24Now PlayingDuring a press conference on Thursday, Trump forced his staff to stand in a line and tell reporters that he did NOT throw a temper tantrum during his meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. One by one they told reporters that he was exceptionally calm, and at one point Trump told reporters again that he was a “very stable genius.” Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Donald Trump is very angry right now and he's very angry about the fact that people think he's very angry. Now, I know that doesn't make too much sense, but believe me, nothing in Donald Trump's brain makes very much sense at all. But here's what happened. As we all know by now on Wednesday, Pelosi had this meeting with Donald Trump. They were supposed to talk about infrastructure. Chuck Schumer was there. Donald Trump came in, spent three minutes, got pissed off at Democrats because they won't drop the investigations and do a him and his family and everything else. It showed that he left. Well, it was categorized classified as a temper tantrum. That's what the media ran with. That's what Pelosi said. That's what we said, because that is exactly what it is. Donald Trump is pissed off about that. How dare you have the audacity to say that I got angry about something because you do.
But then yesterday, Thursday day after this, a temper tantrum happened. Donald Trump holds a press conference to announce that he's going to waste a 16 billion of our tax dollars to bail out the farmers that he's destroyed from his trade wars. But really, instead of talking about that plan, what he did, and you can find the clip in the link in the description of this video, he lined up his staffers. I mean quite literally, they're standing in a line around him and one by one he made those people tell the reporters in the front of the room how calm and gentle he was during that meeting with Pelosi, just so every one of them individually could debunk the talking point that he threw a temper tantrum and he himself was standing at the podium, made it clear he didn't ever raise his voice. He wasn't pounding his fist on the table.
He calmly said some things Democrats can't do two things at once. So I left the meeting and then immediately went right outside to a podium with a little placard made up, filled with lies about the Mueller report. This walkout, as I said yesterday, was 100% staged. There were reporters already waiting outside at a podium where he was supposed to be. He had no intention of staying in that meeting. None whatsoever, but nonetheless, this man's ego is so fragile. His skin is so thin that he had to have each one of his staff members stand up and say, yes, I can verify the fact that Donald Trump was not an angry person. In fact, he was a calm person at the meeting. Thank you, sir. This is psychotic folks. This is not normal behavior for any human being and we should expect more out of the president of the United States.
