DEBORAH RAMIREZ... WHO TOLD THE NEW YORKER... THE SUPREME COURT NOMINEE SEXUALLY ABUSED HER AT YALE UNIVERSITY.
President Donald Trump:
"The second accuser has nothing. The second accuser doesn't even know, she thinks maybe it could've been him, maybe not. She admits that she was drunk, she admits time lapses. There were time lapses."
THE PRESIDENT TOLD REPORTERS HE TOO WATCHED KAVANAUGH'S INTERVIEW ON FOX... OFFERING THE JUDGE HIS FULL SUPPORT.
President Donald Trump:
"You know when he said that really what he was focused on trying to be number one in his class at Yale, to me that was so believable // His wife is devastated, his children are devastated. I don't mean they're like: oh, gee, I'm a little unhappy. They're devastated."
MR. TRUMP'S COMMENTS SEEMED TO RUN COUNTER TO PRESS SECRETARY SARAH SANDERS' OPENNESS TO HEARING RAMIREZ TESTIFY NEXT TO KAVANAUGH'S FIRST ACCUSER... CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD... AT A HEARING SET FOR THURSDAY.
Sarah Sanders/White House Press Secretary:

THE WHITE HOUSE IS FIRMLY BEHIND KAVANAUGH... WHOSE PERSONAL LIFE HAS BEEN EXPOSED... IN FULL DETAIL.
Brett Kavanaugh/Supreme Court Nominee:
"I've never sexually assaulted anyone. I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter. And the girls from the schools I went to, and I, were friends--"
THE KAVANAUGH SAGA HAS TEMPORARILY OVERSHADOWED THE OTHER WHITE HOUSE MELODRAMA... WHETHER THE PRESIDENT WILL FIRE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN... AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY OFFERED TO SECRETLY RECORD MR. TRUMP.
President Donald Trump:
"I'm meeting with Rod Rosenstein on Thursday. Today, I'm doing other things, as you probably have heard."
AT THE U-N... THERE WAS A CLEAR SIGNAL OF HOW SOME PARTS OF THE WORLD VIEW THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.
AS THE PRESIDENT BRAGGED OF HIS ACCOMPLISHED... FOREIGN LEADERS... COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH.
President Donald Trump:
"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. America is -- so true (crowd laughs) I didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay."
IT WAS A REMINDER THERE IS A TRUMP TWEET FOR EVERYTHING.
WHEN BARACK OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT, MR. TRUMP TWEETED: "WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO ISN'T A LAUGHING STOCK TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. WE NEED A TRULY GREAT LEADER..."
DURING THE PRESIDENT'S U-N SPEECH... GERMAN OFFICIALS COULD BE SEEN CHUCKLING... WHEN MR. TRUMP ACCUSED THEM OF BEING DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN ENERGY.
President Donald Trump:
"Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course."
THE PRESIDENT LATER INSISTED HE DIDN'T MIND THE LAUGHTER.
President Donald Trump:
"Well that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great."
