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.

And this is where Facebook, twitter etc fail us in letting spin doctors hide behind free speech and blatantly lie and work on their intellectual gymnastics. 

FB is trash but if Twitter actually held Trump to their TOS, he'd be suspended many times over.  One thing Democrats have to be ready for (and they probably arent) is not just an October surprise but a daily surprise.  It will be made up nonsense but it will spew forth. Especially with poll numbers as they are (though they will likely change a million times).

One thing to remember, Biden is polling almost identical to Hilary.  And Hilary was going to trounce Trump were it not the cheating and the Comey blunder.

It is still staggering to me that any sane American would still vote for Trump after all this. Hmmm.....I guess I just answered my own question.

Free speech not free to lie for all you hardcore 'you can't censor me, I lie you believe it now it's truth' people out there. 

 

Sounds familiar. 

Lots of people talking, few of them know.....

Trump on not having the coronavirus: (actual quote, not satire)

"And I tested very positively in another sense. So this morning. I tested positively toward negative, right? So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative. But that's a way of saying it. Positively toward the negative."

Americans should thank Trump, for clearing that up.
😵

Megalomania is the perfect word for him. After all, mania is well on its way to...maniac.
 

Trump laying the ground work for life after the presidency. His original plan was to lose to Hilary and start a trump network and entire alt right trump movement.  This is what he will do.

I see the hydroxychloroquine is taking effect.

The fact that the president thinks its the job of a news organization to "help" a political party get elected is a huge problem.

 

Trump is on the verge of repeating a historic disaster by pushing the Wuhan lab hoax

This time around, it’s the Trump administration’s reckless charge that Covid-19 — maybe manmade, maybe not, advocates of this conspiracy theory argue — was released perhaps deliberately, perhaps by accident from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, the city that was the epicenter of the outbreak late last year. It’s a story that has ricocheted around the echo chambers of the far right, from conspiracy-oriented Internet kooks like Infowars’ Alex Jones to semi-respectable media tribunes and radio talk-show hosts to the very highest reaches of the administration itself, including President Trump.

(It appears that Trump has chosen another plank for his re-election campaign )

‘He ain’t bright’: Trump brutally mocked for ‘nonsensically’ insisting there are ‘many per capitas’

President Donald J. Trump, joined by Vice President Mike Pence, participates in a roundtable discussion on the Governors’ Initiative on Regulatory Innovation Monday, Dec16, 2019, in the Cabinet Room of the White House. (Official White House Phois week, President Donald Trump defended his response to the coronavirus pandemic by asserting that that the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States isn’t so bad when analyzed on a per capita basis. But when Trump expanded on that line of thinking, his statement led to brutal mockery on social media.

 

“And you know, when you say ‘per capita,’ there’s many per capitas,” Trump asserted. “It’s like, per capita relative to what? But you can look at just about any category, and we’re really at the top, meaning positive, on a per capita basis too.”

You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Trump admits that he doesn't want to be photographed with a mask on, instead of doing the proper thing like every one else today he tries to act and look tough for his base, the rest of the world already knows he is not a tough guy or a smart person for that matter  but rather a person with rather limited intellect which is on full display now

Nothing wrong with practical... Right? Right?
