Reporter Jim Acosta: Mr. Trump, what is 4+4?

President Trump: That’s a GREAT question, Jim...so many people are asking that question, it is honestly a beautiful question, one of the best in the world. Well, to answer that… first, you have four, what an amazing number four is. Did you know 2+2 equals…FOUR! I just learned that yesterday. Four is a really good looking number, nice and straight. It is probably one of the best numbers in the world! Better than seven or ten, I mean, honestly, what is the point of ten?! It looks so weird, just like me. You know, if I had to be a number, I would want to be a four, Hillary can be the ten. Four is how big my IQ is, did you know that? I’m so proud of myself for having an IQ of four, it’s the biggest & bestest of all IQs, better even than Einstein’s! I’m just so smart with my IQ of four honestly, why hate me with such a high level of smarts? Speaking about hate, who can hate me?! I am Donald J Trump, the most honest, caring guy out there, duh. So, to answer your question, 4+4 equals = I am the best, obviously.

It's not that it's about Trump...or maybe it just went over my head, I dunno...I just didn't think it was funny. I think I'll try to rewrite it.

Here it is rewritten. I think I captured his speech style, what do you think?

Acosta...Mr. President, can you tell us what 2+2 equals?
Trump...Well, Jim, that's actually a good question. Quite a difference for such a fake news agency. Is that a trick question? So, what is 4 + 4? Let me say this...
Acosta...Sir, we just want to hear your answe....
Trump...excuse me...excuse me...I wasn't finished. 4+4 equals...you know, they made fun of my hands being small but they're not...my hands are just fine...fantastic...I've got fantastic hands...nice hands...very nice...but back to your question...what does 4 + 4 equal? You know we only have 8 fingers on our hands...that's true...we have 2 thumbs which are NOT fingers. Democrats think we have 10 fingers...You won't hear fake news CNN talk about that, Jim...
Acosta...Sir, can we drop the fake news thin...
Trump...Jim.....Jim....don't interrupt me...be nice. So, the answer is 8...an unbelievable number 8...8 is one of the best...I surround myself with the best numbers. You didn't think I knew that one about the 8 fingers ad 2 thumbs did you? But I did...we got 10 toes but not 10 fingers...if you want to get technical...I can be technical...I'm great at being technical. Everybody loves me...why? because I'm a technical kind of guy. Who's next?
