Trump schooled a CNN reporter today who asked if Trump would condemn ‘his supporters’ shooting paintballs in Portland over the weekend:

Trump responded like a boss:
Well I understand they had large numbers of people that were supporters but that was a peaceful protest. And paint is a defensive mechanism. Paint is not bullets. Your supporters, and they are YOUR supporters indeed, shot a young gentleman and killed him, not with paint, but with a bullet and I think it’s disgraceful.
“Paint is not bullets.” BOOM! That is how you deal with the media. It’s really amazing too when you think about it. Antifa targeted a Trump supporter and killed him, and she’s asking about paintballs? This is how much they hate Trump. And then as Trump was walking of the room after ending the press conferences, she’s shouting like her CNN buddy Jimbo that Trump didn’t let her finish her question. What a brat!
There’s more to Trump’s answer, so be sure and watch the clip above for more.
