Baiting him to say something bad. lol.
Ahh - analpundit playing to his shrinking base about how he’s all above the fray and petty politics (until he happily ban hammered anyone who disagreed with him)
The loud mouth, wild-eyed, crazy, communist.
She’s Occasionally-Cogent.....................
Good answer. She’s just trying to get attention and more fawning media coverage but Trump’s not going for it.
Best to ignore her, she’s irrelevant.
At first he did say “Who?” He realizes she’s just a gnat.
Or like we say in Texas, about OU...
O WHO
Works for Ocasio, too
Perfect that the standard bearer of the Socialist ‘RAT party is a 29 y/o ignoramus.
Ignoring someone is perhaps the worst insult.
This is why President Trump supported Pelosi as speaker of the House. While she is a radical and extremist, she is also rational. The new rank and file are like rabid dogs. You can not reason with them. They will attack even if it kills them. They will produce nothing but violence and chaos.
He basically did say that.
Reporter, amidst crowd and helicopter noise: "XX called you a racist." Trump: "Who did?" When told it was AOC, Trump then said, with a dismissive wave: "Who cares?"
The link doesn’t own the twitter posts, you know. You can post it here, and not as clickbait.

9 p.m. ET: Trump to make the case for the wall but won’t declare a national emergency. Yet.
“I really believe that they don’t care about crime,” Trump said. “I really believe this. The Democrats don’t care about crime.”
“They’ve been taken over by a group of young people who, frankly, in some cases, I’ve been watching, I actually think are crazy,” Trump said Thursday. “But they’ve been taken over by a group that is so far left, I really don’t think they care about crime. Sadly, they are viewing this as the beginning of the 2020 race and that’s okay with me. But they have been taken over by a group of people who don’t care about gangs, human trafficking or drugs. They don’t care about anything. I tell you why, they have gone crazy.”
That was 36 hours after she appeared on MSNBC to wonder why we’re funding ICE. Part of her social-media strategy is to seize on slights from the right and promote them to her audience, responding either as whiny victim to rally her fans to her defense or as a happy warrior eager to brawl with ideological enemies on their behalf. Trump’s “who cares?” dig was too mild for door number one so today we get door number two:
I bartended for *years* in New York City. I understand guys like this like the back of my hand.
We got under his skin

Asked just now about @AOC, Trump says “Who cares?” and gestures dismissively.
Trump doesn’t drink but she’s going for a “loudmouth at the end of the bar” thing there. POTUS’s own Twitter strategy is similar to hers although not identical. He also alternates between victim and brawler — maybe that’s the secret ingredient to building a modern political personality cult — but he rarely comes off as a particularly “happy” warrior. (At his rallies, perhaps.) And he uses social-media for score-settling. There’s no Ocasio-Cortez version of the “embarrassing random potshots at people whom I have a grudge against” genre. Yet.
They’re perfect foils for each other, politically and demographically. I think he’s holding off on engaging with her on Twitter until something really big happens that requires a major distraction. Maybe the Mueller report will do it.
Ping.
They wanted Trump to get in a Twitter war with AOC and he refused.
It really is amazing that such and unremarkable, unaccomplished person was elected to the House of Representatives.
Judging by her quick reply saying she got under his skin, I think it is quite the opposite!! Presient Trump’s casual dismissal of her has bruised her growing ego.
Thanks a lot - you got me to click on hot-air to see the rest of the quote. Now I feel like I need to take a shower - I thought FReepers were my friends.
Next time can you please just provide the entire quote or give a barf alert?
