Here are some of the major highlights from Trump’s amazing press conference that went over an hour long. I will be posting the entire press conference for anyone who wants to watch it, but for now you can watch these highlights posted during the presser. Hopefully they are all unique and don’t overlap.
UPDATE: Here’s the full press conference. I’ve got it cued up to the beginning at 1:00:48
