Trump held court during a news conference that lasted an hour and fifteen minutes, carving out a stunning moment in modern American political history. "The leaks are real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake," Trump said. While it was a marked contrast with the normal dynamics of a presidential news conference, the East Room show was vintage Trump. He touted his own poll numbers, victory over Hillary Clinton and discussed cable TV ratings and panel discussions.
