Donald Trump must have been so sick of all that showing humanity to women he was forced to do last week as the very credible Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified last week.
Because he opened up with the blatant misogyny, insulting a female reporter’s intelligence during a press conference in the Rose Garden on Monday.

When he called on Cecilia Vega to ask the next question, she had to wait for the microphone to get passed to her. Trump apparently misunderstood the pause because he said of the ABC News reporter:
“She’s shocked that I picked her. She’s like in a state of shock.”
Vega got the mic and said:
“No, I’m not. Thank you, Mr. President.”
But before she could ask her question, Trump went for the bully move rather than admit his own mistake, saying:
“That’s OK. I know you’re not thinking. You never do.”
Wow.
Vega was visibly taken aback by the a-hole comment, saying:
“I’m sorry?”
Then Trump immediately apologized for his rudeness and… NAH we’re messing with you, our president doesn’t have manners or empathy LOL.
Just look at this jerk!

BTW, her question was about the Kavanaugh probe — and the disturbing reports the FBI is being hamstrung by the White House so it can’t do a proper investigation.
Trump refused to answer the question, saying he wanted more questions about his trade deal first.
Later…
