Trump inquires about Schiff’s mug: ‘It looks like he got hit with a baseball bat or something’

President Donald Trump’s brutally honest way of speaking was once again on display as he took questions in North Carolina.

In the first few days of his second term, Trump is making clear that the main priority of his administration is the American people. On Friday, he traveled to disaster sites in Los Angeles and North Carolina, where people have been displaced and some still have seen no relief.

When asked how he felt about Sen. Adam Schiff joining him on the trip, Trump just had to point out the elephant in the room.

“Senator Schiff was joining you on this trip and he was too busy. Are you disappointed?” the reporter asked.

“I don’t know. I was told that Schiff was going to travel with us to California. I wasn’t thrilled, to be honest with you. And I saw him last night on television. It looks like he got hit with a baseball bat or something,” Trump said bluntly. “What happened to him? Something happened to him. It was well, it looked like he had a hit– it looked like he got beat around.”

“But I’ll ask [White House Press Secretary] Karoline [Leavitt] to find out what happened. You know, if he wanted to come out, I would have done that. But I don’t know, I- Somebody said that he wanted to come on the plane, but I think he’s staying back for the votes. There’s some pretty good votes going on,” the president added.

Indeed, Schiff has had a noticeable mark of some kind right above his eye. In a video on Trump’s executive orders, the lawmaker briefly touched on his appearance by saying, “Banged my head, really dumb, clumsy.”
