Raw StoryTrump fumbles his way through international press conferencerawstory.comPresident Donald Trump struggled with multiple questions Tuesday during a press conference in Turkey while meeting with the country's President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. When asked about the Trump administration's consideration of welcoming Turkey back into the F-35 fighter jet program, Trump appeared confused by questions regarding the S-400 Russian missile system. The reporter asked whether the missile system would be transferred to a "third party" to address concerns from Republicans and Israel , but Trump responded with confusion, "What does that mean?" Trump added, "Third... third party? What is the third... with respect to what?" When pressed about whether he had concerns about the Russian missile defense system, Trump declared he had "no concerns at all about anything." Trump also interrupted a question directed at Erdoğan, asking, "Is that for me? Are you asking me? Or are you asking the president?" before being told the question was for Erdoğan.
