Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

Much like his money Trump's business success is over blown, just ask John Barron 

Acts like he's the best businessman in the world, yet doesn't even have an MBA. I know not all CEOs have MBAs, but most have some kind of master's degree. He really could have benefited from further education, but who needs that when you're swimming in cash?

Controlled the White House and both sides of Congress for two years and couldn’t get anything done. Lost badly to Nancy Pelosi over the wall. 

Was made to look foolish by North Korea. 

Is there anything trump is actually good at?

In fairness, he is excellent at branding himself, and has played the media at most turns. 

Trump successfully created a loyal following, who will listen to anything he says. That is one thing he has done, though it really isn't positive. Though I suspect that following is starting to dwindle a little with the shutdown (maybe? Or they just think it's the Democrats' fault).

At least there is some entertaining diversion, lately.......

Memo to Fox News:  
After sitting around for 2.5 years, cheer leading and waving pom poms - while Trump smeared many news organizations, bellowed about fake news, and called the media, "enemy of the people.......just shut up and take the damn medicine.  The moment anyone -  even in the Trump Administration Propaganda Wing, dared to criticize him.....you should of known what was coming.

Tweet Attack! Hell hath no fury!

Newt Gingrich claims I'm in "fantasyland" for criticizing the president for breaking his central campaign promise. It has now come to my attention that Trump HAS built the full border wall & it's working BEAUTIFULLY. That is why Trump is sailing to re-election!

Newt’s right — I’m just selling books. But at least I don’t have to kiss Trump’s ass to do so.

RIDDLE OF THE DAY: How do you break Newt Gingrich’s nose? (ANSWER: Kick Donald Trump in the ass.)

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

Poor Newt. At least Rudy got a job.

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

 

To those who would attack Newt, please remember that just as collusion is not a crime, kissing the emperor’s ass violates no federal law.

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

Newt seems to believe that you have to run for office to comment on public affairs. The constitution doesn’t just give free speech to disgraced politicians. It also affords speech rights to another category called “citizens.”

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

The great thing about Newt is, you can always count on him to tell truth to power.

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

Trump voters have fallen into 2 factions: The Tell the Truth faction and the Kiss the Emperor’s Ass camp. Newt and I have picked different camps.

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019

 

LITTLE-KNOWN LITERARY FACT: "The Emperor’s New Clothes" had to be edited for space. Lost was the scene where court haberdasher Newt Gingrich said, “Sir, you look splendid!"

When Trump talks about fake news, witch hunts, fake media , and enemies of the people......those descriptions simply fit anyone who criticizes him in any way, or challenges his serial lying.   Fox actually thought they would be immune from this?

Taking a screenshot of this before it gets edited. What the actual hell is "Global Waming?"

It takes a brave man to loudly proclaim his ignorance of the topic of weather vs. climate. It's morons like that are the reason they stopped calling it global warming in the first place and went with climate change. Try and avoid over taxing small minds.

POTUS knows nothing about anything and has pulled the biggest con job on the people of the U.S. it's taking time but they are starting to put the pieces together

This is probably nitpicking, but I bet Trump has no idea that windchill isn't actually temperature, only what the air feels like when the wind is gusting. At least use proper measures of temperature! Using windchill is pure exaggeration.

I totally agree.  The Cheeto-in-chief knows nothing about wind chill.
