As soon as the mic brushed his face, Trump reacted with raised eyebrows, a displeased expression, and a piercing stare. His irritated look spread across social media within minutes.

However, he quickly regained his composure. With a smirk, he quipped, “She made television tonight, she just became a big story tonight.” Then, shaking his head in disbelief, he asked, “Did you see that?”

Then, he added, “And what do you do to get rid of it? You convict Trump.” He went on to claim, “It’s totally illegal what they do. I just hope you can all watch for it, but it’s totally illegal.”
