What happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?

Jennifer Welch 0:05
All right, there was a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner over the weekend, and Trump appeared on 60 Minutes last night to discuss it. And it's just incredible how you can have somebody, an ally, in Donald Trump as Larry Ellison, who has now bought and consolidated all of the media. And Donald Trump still treats the press with disdain. This is an incredible exchange right here. Play the clip.
Unknown 0:36
called Manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this. I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're you're you're horrible people, horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist.

How did Trump respond to the shooting incident?

Unknown 1:07
I didn't rape anybody. I'm not a pedophile.
Jennifer Welch 1:10
Do you think he was referring to you?
Unknown 1:11
Excuse me.
Jennifer Welch 1:13
That is just so stunning to me. The way he says that, I am not a rapist. And then she so cleverly says, oh, you thought he was talking about you? Well, of course. But this, it just cannot be. impressed upon you, and if this is a president of the United States sitting there saying, I'm not a rapist, I'm not a pedophile, because the elephant in the room is that he is, pumps.
Unknown 1:35
Well, I mean, I hate to tell him, you have been adjudicated in a court of law in the Southern District of New York as a rapist. You are a rapist. and what i found interesting was the turnaround and to your point about larry ellison i mean he was on and being interviewed within 24 hours to make sure everybody knew how he you know it took me back to the strong man like he has to go and show us how great he is when really he just made a huge ass of himself in my opinion
Jennifer Welch 2:09
Yeah, and I just think it's important that he lives in this bubble and all of these people in his White House live in this bubble. I think it was somebody in his administration after the shooting tried to do the whole USA chant and it just was crickets. in the ballroom because this president's approval rating is only at the cult level. That's it. So he gets out on 60 Minutes, he gets in front of the White House press corps and all of the shit that they tell themselves that they're so popular and they're so powerful, it all starts to completely unravel. And I thought this was really interesting. I mean, this is a guy who I think he's not smart about a lot of things, but I do think he's smart about PR.
Jennifer Welch 2:55
I do think he has really good instincts about propaganda.

What controversial statements did Trump make during the interview?

Jennifer Welch 3:00
And so it was fascinating to me that this image got put out last night. Pop this up. there he is sitting there and i mean you can see the cankles the shoes you can see you know his suits are always look like they're not tailored very well and here he is just popping out this new body so not only is this administration reeling from you know not being able to pitch and sell this illegal war to the United States public, inflation out the wazoo, his dementia, but then he rolls out this. But here in this interview, Trump also goes on to lie and say that he didn't fall down when he was evacuating the White House Correspondents' Dinner. And what's so important about this, in my opinion, is of course he fell down.
Jennifer Welch 3:49
Of course he fell down, but he just, he cannot, he's so thin skinned. Play the clip.
Unknown 3:55
people, and I probably made them act a little bit more slowly. I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, let me see, wait a minute. So, you know, I'm telling guys. Just at that moment where it looks like you go sort of down with the service, you were telling them to wait. Well, I know what happened is then I started walking with him. I turned, I started walking, and they said, please go down, please go down on the floor. So I went down, and First Lady went down also, but we were asked to go down by the agents as I was walking.
Jennifer Welch 4:27
Okay, so now let's watch the video and we can decide for ourselves. Play the clip. They get little Smokey out.
