Yesterday, at a press conference, Trump was asked whether he could be more civil in his dealings as President, and his response… well, was just pure Trumpian:
It was your standard press conference answer: talk about what college you went to and then claim you’re really smart:
I went to an Ivy League college. I was a nice student. I did very well. I’m a very intelligent person… I think the press creates a different image of Donald Trump than the real person.
Such a distilled moment of hubris was always going to be jumped on by commentators, and overnight everyone went in:
1. It’s hardly a subtle approach to being elitist
Whoops!

2. For a brief moment, Trump became Fredo from The Godfather

11. This was the reaction, probably, in Democrat HQ
