HANOI, Vietnam—President Trump on Thursday said the House Oversight Committee did a “terrible thing” by scheduling a hearing with his former lawyer Michael Cohen to coincide with the timing of his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“Having it during this very important summit is sort of incredible,” Mr. Trump told reporters during a press conference in Hanoi after announcing that talks with Mr. Kim failed because of an impasse over sanctions relief.In a dramatic day of testimony, Michael Cohen detailed allegations of criminal behavior by President Trump both before and while he was in office. WSJ's Gerald F. Seib discusses whether that will translate into political or legal problems for Mr. Trump.
Trump you would be a great president...if you could. Keep your mouth shut...and pray more...i could show you how to change the course of the world...through prayer..
In case he didn't already know, democrats are experts at sabotage and subversion.
Use all the excuses you want to, Sir, you failed to negotiate a deal and I don't look up to men who fail. You deserve that comment for insulting American Servicemen who were prisoners of war...
It was a cheap political stunt, and in an earlier time would have been condemned by all as such.
I agree with Pres. Trump completely!! Nancy Pelosi & other Dems did this on purpose!! Sick politics!!
Next time time take your incompetent family and friends (if you have any) with you...🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one gives a Damn what you think. Stay in Korea, We don't want you back. It's amazing how much better this Country runs when your Gone.
It’s very important to grandstand a zero outcome photo op?
Important Summit? There was nothing important about that photo op
Impeachment is near. Push it.
Kinda like having a fake President who considers himself 'friends' with murderous dictators and believes what they say when they've tortured and murdered American citizens? moron resign DragHimOutOfOffice
We don't care what this lying, cheating racist thinks. This is how it works. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
the dems resort to such disgraceful stunts because they ran out of filthy ideas to attack the successful president.
It’s all Democrat propaganda!
Not any FakeNews hearing yesterday POTUS realDonaldTrump Trump, our great conman WhiteHouse.
Pinhead will never forgive Mr. Cohen for stealing his spotlight. That's all that matters and it's unforgivable!
The demorats putting on that display of ask the president’s attorney any questions we want garbage. What was that disaster yesterday that caused the Korean talks to fail. Shame on you demorats shame shame shame.
You are going down soon the court's will get you
Of course because in Putin’s regime Cohen would’ve been murdered.
The Cohen hearing was simply a stepping stone for the Dems to get at Trump's personal and business financial records. They seek to pin Trump down for the rest of his presidency by nickel and diming him over millions of business decisions which they can recast as questionable.
HouseDemocrats and Fake News embraces a convicted lier to undermine the President when he is trying to stabilize the Korea Peninsula is not a good thing. It is un-America, it’s treacherous .
Wah wah wah wah . . .
It was gonna be that way no matter wat
Said the fake President at the fake summit.🙄
Americans need to demand TODAY to end the Congressional Dog and Pony Show right now and start acting like adults who are getting paid to represent the American public instead of acting like pseudo-celebrities in a reality show. Everyone's behavior is despicable.
Fake Summit
Yes wouldn’t want to ruin your time with a brutal dictator who starves the mind, body and soul of his people.
They did! And I won't vote for any democrat.
So is pardoning a foreign dictator for the murder of an American so you can keep the door open for your own business opportunities there one day. Potato/Potahto Treasonous disgrace. Also, nice outcome of the summit realDonaldTrump What a loser.
I’ll say. Idiot.
Oh it was a real hearing. We all watched it. Trump is garbage, Trump is a criminal. If you still support him, you’re a traitor to this country.
Lol he can tell jokes in jail
Trump, Cohen lies except for no collusion with Russia. In other words the only truth is what I like, the rest are lies. What a wack job!
People actually think that international actors don’t notice these things. The hearing definitely undermined Trump in Hanoi! Why deal with Trump, we’ll just wait for the next POTUS!
Don't worry Donald, nobody is forgetting you. There will be a lot account for upon your return.
It wasn’t fake and the summit was just as big a joke as everything else he does
님 감사합니다!.미국 민주당 어쩌다 저런 집단최면에 걸려 죽음을 맞게되었을까요? 한국의 오대양? 종교단체..집단 죽음!사건 생각이 납니다. 미국 민주당의 매국행위를 꼭 미국국민들과 전세계인께 알려주세요. 전 세계인들은 글로벌리스트[공산주의]와 맞서서 싸워 나갑시다!
You didn’t get shit done at the summit...so why you complaining....
A fake summit on the day of a real hearing on crimes that trump has really committed...
Are the HouseDemocrats & SenateDems in collusion with NorthKorea?
Having a fake President and GOP is a terrible thing. Importance of having Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Priceless!
Someone’s feelings are hurt because they weren’t the recipient of the world’s attention. He’s the laughing stock of the world. Is that attention enough?
Not a great defense
Attacking Congress? He wants to end democracy. Maybe Cohen is tight: Trump will not transition powers
Is that what happened for this big trial thing is messed up to reach a deal has compromised your validity or relationship with?
How was that fake? I am pretty sure I recognized those congressmen and women. I am pretty sure that was Michael Cohen....and I recognized the room...what was fake?
'I think having this fake summit in the middle of this very important hearing is a terrible thing.' There you go, sir, fixed it for you.
Didn’t it distract from the dumpster fire that the summit became?
Get used to it! There will be many more hearings of substance to come, many, many more!
Of course they are executing to Hillary’s redudtvsll things Trump. Obstruction
If the Dems spent 1/100th of the energy on positive productive things as they do on witch hunts on the President the possibilities are endless on what could be accomplished WitchHuntsAreAWasteOfTimeAndResources GetOnBoard TrumpIsYourPresident DemocraticStuntsEnsureTrump2020
Nothing he'd do about it. Wouldn't happen under Repub led house
realDonaldTrump How was the televised hearing “fake?” Sure as heck looked real to me. Your comment only shows that you intentionally use the same lingo to for any situation you don’t like, and your rabid followers who you really consider “stupid” fall for it.
He asks us not to trust his long-time personal lawyer on the basis of his character while, same day, asking us to trust a murderer he's been with for less than 8 total hours that he knew nothing about Otto Warmbier, which the whole world knew about. Seriously?
We don’t care what you think.
DRUMPF & FAMILY ABOUT TO BE RICO’D!
dumb dumb Donny is just mad because the media focus wasn't on him. Plus everyone knows that reaching any deals with NK has been a problem for years. I guess he thinks hes the messiah. Please you're not. Go back to selling real estate and even that he can't do right. Lol..
“Anyone who can be trusted in little matters can also be trusted in important matters. But anyone who is dishonest in little matters will be dishonest in important matters.” Luke 16:10
Of course he would think that...he wants only his ‘news’ to take center stage...more fake smiles and fake promises.
realDonaldTrump well then your GOP buddies should have provided some oversight and demanded answers from your administration many many months ago
This is the moment when 'real' Republicans need to deeply soul search. Let the Trumptards finish the party off, or jump off the burning Trump train and salvage what you can? That's your choice now, Republicans. Make it while you still can.....
Oh shut up Trump
I’m sure you do. 😂🤪🤡🚀 Despite your denials, I suspect no one will look at you the same way again. Except Hannity of course.
Wasn’t the hearing scheduled before the Hanoi summit was scheduled?
Every American with more that 2 working brain cells see this as nothing but a distraction from the summit, and yes this was a staged show (fake hearing) just for that purpose and has nothing to do with being transparent as Cummings tried ,but failed miserably, to make Amer. think
Having a fake president is a terrible thing.
He doesn't know what the word 'fake' means
...said the “fake” president who admires dictators...
Great idea, since the Summit was a complete Failure.
Didn’t Cohen postpone the hearing twice Has he testified as previously scheduled, it wouldn’t have cast a shadow on the « failed » summit
Trump thinks they fell in love, but Kim will send Trump packing every time he goes over there.
He rushed this meeting specifically because of Cohen’s testimony. Now he will blame the Democrats because he couldn’t close a deal of denuclearization. Actually, NK had no intention to denuclearize in the first place. This photo op was a fail.
Cohen has no credibility but that's the best the Dems can do. Sad. Dems platform is this...pay freeloaders and kill babies...
Could have been easily avoided if the gop had shown some responsibility and not elected this clown.
RT : “I think having a fake hearing like that and having it in the middle of this ...
You chose when the summit would happen. I would argue that having a fake summit during an important hearing was a much worse thing. District, distract!
Politics is a long-term art
Wrong! It was a fake summit in the middle of a very important hearing!!
Vice versa. Fake summit during important hearing.
he is going to try so hard to make the Dems the problem but it isn't going to work except with his hard core supporters who don't care that he is breaking the law.
I blame the democrats for this failure.North Korea thought that the president was preoccupied with the hearing going on. The democrats could have had this hearing next week.
Hes right. Democrats keep hitting new lows.
“...having a hearing in the middle of my very fake summit...” Better.
Please Stop Con Artist Trump From Continuing Making Ridiculous Statements! The World Leaders Are Laughing & Everyone Knows Bully Trump is Stupid & Guilty!
I’d have to agree with him, he is trying to work things out with an adversary and the dems are doing their damndest to pull him down as President. Look folks, if he fails, America fails. It’s that simple.
Having a fake summit in the middle of a very important hearing is a bad thing.
Everybody does. ElijahCummings should be investigated for ethics violations. As should Pelosi allowing it, as well as SchiffForBrains.
I think he has it backwards. There was a very important hearing and a fake summit. But we can agree it was a terrible thing.
White House/Trump responds to Professor David Louis Whitehead's comments on Vietnam Summit.
What he means is, “ no one was paying attention to me!”.. & he was so busy with his bromance he couldn’t watch it all & tweet as much...Think the king’s clothes are falling off!
Still...😐
Having the fake summit in the middle of an important hearing is a terrible thing.
lol. There wouldn't be a hearing if Trump told the truth, didn't collude with the Russians, or released his tax returns, like a normal person.
Winning TRUMP2020 TrumpsBaseAintGoingNowhere YouLostAgain
No matter what side of the political spectrum you are on you should of been pulling for our President to succeed at this summit. For the Dems to pull a stunt like the did proves they put themselves before country and international safety.
Me President, thank you for calling out these actions by Dems. No need to just grin and bear it. Keep up good work in Vietnam.
its him who promoted the phenomenon 'fake news' other govs followed the suit, some in Africa. Now 'fake hearing' fake fake fake fake it until you make it Don Sr. 😂🙌😂😂😂
SUCH AN IMPORTANT BS MEETING AND NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED I WILL TAKE COHENS TESTIMONY
Well it's not like you got anything done over there except elevating a dictator..... Im sorry (not sorry at all) but of youre still team trump after all that went on yesterday you're a fool
WSJ and FOX News both exist because Trump's balls doesn't lick itself.
You should be happy the hearing hid yet another of your failures. Claim that your close to achieving denuclearization, then later talks break down completely. You are giving a vile dictator legitimacy on a world stage he was denied by your predecessor. Fawning as he gets stronger
Is our press learning how to correctly deal with tRUmp’s lies? No, they isn’t.
What has changed in the 'western frontier', one may ask the drumbarrels from the corners of the House and Senate!?
Did realDonaldTrump ask about North Korea’s Largest Concentration Camps
Uh, pardon us all, but the hearing was scheduled 1st! I believe it is YOU, Mr. Trump who tried to distract from the important business being conducted yesterday right here at home. Didn’t work! We were all sleeping while you were socializing w a murderous dictator.
WHICH ONE IS FAKE. THE TRUMP KOREA MEETING OR COHENS. I WOULD GUESS KOREA. NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED. NOTHING TO SHOW
Of course he said that. He's a moron. That's the kind of thing morons say when their lawyer is spilling the beans on them and their publicity stunt fell flat.
Summit of the worst tailors, Pt 2
More sneaky, low down dealing from Demoncrat hypocrites Mr President but you are still the winner to every American!!
When is there going to be a hearing about how many babies will be murdered thanks to the soulless bloodthirsty dems?/?
That's the truth. Democrats were deliberately sabotaging the president's denuclearization meeting with North Korea. The Democrats are launching an all-out coup attempt in the United States in the media is helping them. Treasonous bastards.
definitely sounds like a learned gentleman who knows many words and some of good words at that
Stop blaming the Dems Cohen scared the shit out of Trump and he left with no deal lmao
Just remember Karma is a bi*ch, it will get you one way or the other. Now everyone in this country knows who is lying 🤥and who is telling the truth.
Having a FAKE POTUS is even worse.
Scheduling a Trump presidency when we're trying to have a very important America is pretty rude.
And it was~ SO distasteful~ so imposing to POTUS & USA’s Agendas~ and detriment to possible World Peace! They’re THAT BAD this set of DEMS. I’ve said it repeatedly don’t trust them as there’s no low too low for them to go. It’s daily now. Horrific. BUT we have Divine Help❤️🙏🇺🇸
Except it was rescheduled because trump tweeted a threat at him and his family...
MatthewBevan i think it was just hurting his reality TV 'ratings'
Every mob boss has eventually been toppled by a trusted employee who lied before telling the truth. When the mob boss and his family and supporters attack the messenger, but have no proof he's lying now, the end is near. This testimony is what future generations will watch.
