President Donald Trump blasted the critics of his recent “chosen one” comment, proclaiming that the reporters assembled “knew” that he was joking when he said it.
In a pair of tweets published Saturday morning, Trump went after the reporters at his recent press conference, claiming that they “knew” he was “kidding” and “being sarcastic” when he declared himself “the chosen one” to tackle rebalancing trade with China during a press conference on Wednesday.
