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.

Why is his tongue firmly planted in his cheek?

President Trump said he’ll leave the White House peacefully if he loses this November’s presidential election, addressing concerns he would try to hold onto power after a defeat.

He doesn't think he will lose. 

Trump should shake hands with each and every one of his attendee's at his rally in Tulsa, and then they should all do the same with each other, maybe even yell Trumps name at each and of course do it without any masks on.

To even have to ask that question is, using Susan Collins favourite word, concerning.

It can be, if trump and his administration have any say about it.   They are clearly prepared to do what is necessary.

Atlanta police, responding to a call about someone sleeping in a car, shot and killed a Black man at a Wendy’s restaurant Friday.

Police said that Rayshard Brooks, 27, resisted arrest following a failed sobriety test. But video posted to social media shows Brooks running away from police before he is shot off-screen.

Police were called to the Wendy’s restaurant Friday night after receiving a report that a man was sleeping in his car, which was parked in the drive-thru.

Two officers found Brooks in the vehicle and gave him a field sobriety test, which they said he failed. While attempting to arrest Brooks, police said he resisted.

👁‍🗨 The President got a NOvation when he unsuccessfully tried to link his birthday with the 245th birthday of the US army. He expected some sort of cheer when he paused after announcing this at the speech to the West Point Academy. What he got was silence.
Oops..
 

 

Trump also sort of staggered down the ramp following his diatribe. That plus his difficulty drinking water with one hand, leads me to wonder if he is medicated before each public performance.

Secret Service: Actually, Yes, We Did Use Pepper Spray When Clearing Protesters From D.C. Park

Multiple federal agencies swore for weeks that they didn’t use any chemical irritants to clear peaceful protesters from a D.C. park on June 1 so President Trump could have a photo op. Now, the Secret Service says it actually did. “After further review, the U.S. Secret Service has determined that an agency employee used pepper spray... in response to an assaultive individual,” the agency said Saturday in a statement.
