Trump presser: 15 of the most bizarre moments




Graham Slaughter, CTVNews.ca Writer @grahamslaughter

......... Asked about incidents of ant-Semitism across the U.S., Trump silenced the reporter and told him to ‘sit down’


“Okay, sit down, I understand the rest of your question. Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism – the least racist person. In fact, we did very well relative to other people running as a Republican.”

When the reporter shouted to try to finish their question, Trump again cut him off.

“Quiet, quiet, quiet. See – he lied, he was going to get up and ask a very straight, simple question. So, you know, welcome to the world of the media.”...................





........... He speculated on a ‘nuclear holocaust’

“If Russia and the United States actually got together and got along — and don’t forget, we’re a very powerful nuclear country and so are they. There’s no upside. We’re a very powerful nuclear country and so are they. I have been briefed. And I can tell you one thing about a briefing that we’re allowed to say because anybody that ever read the most basic book can say it, nuclear holocaust would be like no other.

They’re a very powerful nuclear country and so are we. If we have a good relationship with Russia, believe me, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing.”
