President Trump had a lot to say at his latest campaign rally, this one in Montana on Thursday night, but one thing he had trouble saying was the word "anonymous." He tried twice, and never quite got it right.

The garbled word was part of his attack on the "gutless coward" who kneecapped him in a New York Times op-ed on Wednesday. There's an active mole hunt going on in the White House, but "nobody knows who in the hell he is — or she," Trump said, "although they put 'he,' but probably that's a little disguise, that means it's 'she.'" You can also watch him criticize Senate Democrats for opposing Brett Kavanaugh in his Supreme Court confirmation hearing and tout his fine relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in the video above.
