Scarier than Psycho: Twitter reacts to Trump Press Conference

In an impromptu 77-minute long White House news conference on Thursday, United States President Donald Trump sought to cast problems buffeting the White House as "the mess" he inherited from former Democratic President Barack Obama and boasted about the "fine-tuned administration" he is running.

Twitter, however, wasn't too sure that Trump was sure about what he said and here are some of the top tweets

Up until an hour ago, the scariest thing I'd ever watched was Psycho. #TrumpPresser

But the highlight of the evening was when President Trump began speaking about uranium. Accusing Hillary Clinton of giving Russia 20 per cent of uranium that was present in the United States, President Trump said, "You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things."

President Trump also addressed the drug problem the United States was facing and went on to say that 'drugs were as cheap as candy bars.' This statement evoked a lot of response on social media.

"Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars."

Remember when Martin Shkreli raised the price of Snickers from 99 cents to $5,000?

President Trump even taunted reporters and waved away their attempts to fact-check him in real time. Trump said, “The press – the public doesn’t believe you people anymore. Now, maybe I had something to do with that. I don’t know. But they don’t believe you. But you’ve got to be at least a little bit fair, and that’s why the public sees it. They see it. They see it’s not fair. You take a look at some of your shows and you see the bias and the hatred.”
