President Trump reacted with fresh outrage Wednesday to Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, tweeting, “The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT.” Trump then lashed out at his enemies from the Oval Office, saying that Congressmember Schiff couldn’t carry Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s “blank strap” — a reference to a jockstrap. Trump also repeated his claim that he’s a “very stable genius.” Later in the day, Trump appeared with Finland’s president at a joint press conference, where he refused to answer questions from Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason about his July phone call with the Ukrainian president. 

President Donald Trump: “Look, Biden and his son are stone-cold crooked. And you know it. His son walks out with millions of dollars. The kid knows nothing. You know it. And so do we. Go ahead, ask a question now.”

Jeff Mason: “The question, sir, was: What did you want President Zelensky to do about Vice President Biden and his son Hunter?”

President Donald Trump: “Are you talking to me?”

Jeff Mason: “Yeah, it was just a follow-up of what I just asked you, sir.” 

President Donald Trump: “Listen, you ready? We have the president of Finland. Ask him a question.”
