"Have a good life. We'll see you soon," Trump told America, after speaking for several minutes in off-the-cuff remarks CNN's Jake Tapper described as "puffery and lies." As Air Force One taxied for takeoff Tapper called it a "planeload of grievances and grudges."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer called Trump's speech "repulsive," and the event a "totally inappropriate campaign rally."
