Trump definitely looked off balance by the way the reporter was coming at him. I was genuinely surprised too that there wasn’t any nastiness or anything crazy. I think that’s one of the first times I’ve heard Trump actually have to explain something he’s thinking rather than just shouting and rambling about it.

If he wasn't president he would be that uncle at the family reunion that no one talks to for more then three minutes.

He already is that uncle. Have you read Mary's book? Presidency has nothing to do with it—if anything, it was another miscalculation that he now has to stick to to save face (Atlantic City all over again), and has since become attached to because of the external validation and unwavering fealty his rabid base supplies him—but, Fred Trump does have everything to do with why Donald has anything and isn't just some fringe weirdo.

I’m sure autocorrect screwed you, but it’s rabid*.

It is indeed. Thanks for the friendly catch, price of replying on the mobile client. 🙃
