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.

TRUMP FORGETS HIMSELF AND TELLS THE TRUTH FOR ONCE!

 

One of President Donald Trump’s surprising virtues is that, because of his lack of filter and his tendency for obliviousness, he is occasionally explicit about parts of Republican Party orthodoxy that more circumspect members avoid saying directly.

And on Monday morning in an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump let slip a truth that has long been known but frequently been denied about the GOP: They prefer for fewer people to vote so they can hold on to power.

He was responding to a question from a viewer who was concerned about “special interest projects” included in the coronavirus relief bills. Erroneously and mendaciously, Trump implied that only Democrats use big pieces of legislation to fund special interest items that they feel are important for their personal electoral chances.

But then he slammed the Democrats for the reforms and funding they pushed to make it easier for people to vote in the wake of the pandemic. They had hoped to get $2 billion to fund this effort, but they eventually settled for $400 million, which experts believe is insufficient.

“The things they had in their were crazy,” Trump said of provisions Democrats wanted in the legislation. “They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again. They had things in there about election days, and what you do…”

Good, he would be a terrible president... based on his past track record. Not a very progresive.

Another democratic rock star that will be out there for Biden assuming there’s is some semblance of normalcy during the campaign.

I would think that the next election will make the last one look tame by comparison. The GOP is busy setting up dummy websites and fake news outlets to spread their messages and also sources purporting to be Democratic which are spreading disinformation. The PCs here in Canada are starting to do the same.

Absolutely.  2016 showed them how to cheat to win.  But the most basic thing remains true.  If the left gets out to vote, they win.  This pandemic going on long term is actually to Trump's benefit.  If it largely goes way by summer, and allows the US to have a relatively normal campaign, he's in trouble.  Because his handling of it becomes a huge election issue.  Economy becomes a huge election issue.  Unemployment etc.

And if the Dems dont screw it up (and you can never discount that very real possibility) and come together, you have Biden with Obama, Warren, Clintons, Bernie and everyone else out campaigning and pulling everyone together for the common good.  It *should* be a landslide.

Trump will say "if was so close, you have to assume they cheated."  or "I was beat so badly you have to assume it's unrealistic so they must have cheated".

Easter Bunny just tweeted a rebuttal of President Trump's accusation, that he was single-handily holding back the potential economic recovery, and refused to take any responsibility, whatsoever

Trump Literally Laughed at How He Can Game the Press With His ‘New Tone’

 

LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT

The president is acutely aware that if he acts in a somber fashion, the media will quickly notice and praise him for it.

 

As evening fell on Tuesday, President Donald Trump did what he’s done virtually every day for the past few weeks: He went to the White House briefing room to talk to gathered reporters about the coronavirus. Only this time, things were atmospherically different. The president wasn’t dismissive of the pandemic. He wasn’t overly self-congratulatory. He didn’t talk about the country going back to work in a few weeks.

Instead, he was generally somber and even dour, acknowledging that under best-case scenarios the country would likely experience more than 100,000 coronavirus-related deaths. 

                                                

Afterward, the press noted the difference in “tone,” with several pundits and reporters speculating that the gravity of the moment was finally weighing on the man in the Oval Office. And Trump, three aides and allies tell The Daily Beast, almost assuredly noted the praise he received from them for his more “presidential” tune. That’s because, they say, there is no one who more voraciously consumes media coverage of himself. And over the past three years, the president has periodically remarked—sometimes with a self-aware chuckle or smirk—about how “easy” it is for him to trigger praise from a typically adversarial press simply by acting “nice” during a particularly weighty moment.

 

Just in case people try to say he knew how serious this pandemic was

 

People dying .............pffttt lets get to the important stuff
