President Trump in a wild press conference Wednesday repeatedly refused to answer a question about his Ukraine call, berating a reporter for following up on it.
Trump spoke alongside Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and railed against Democrats, continued to defend his call with Ukraine's president as perfectly fine, and declared himself a "very stable genius." At one point, Reuters' Jeff Mason asked Trump to clarify what it is he wanted from Ukraine's president in regards to former Vice President Joe Biden, who he asked for an investigation into on the call.

"Are you talking to me?" Trump asked. "...Listen, we have the president of Finland. Ask him a question."
Given another opportunity to address the question directly, Trump again did not do so, instead angrily attacking the media as "corrupt" and again demanding a question for Niinistö. But when Mason finally asked one of Niinistö, Trump kept talking anyway, with Niinistö informing him, "I think the question is for me." Brendan Morrow
