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.

If this is real news then good, because even they're smart enough to know that if they let him get his way then plenty of people will be forfeiting their jobs because of term expiration

Whaaaaat? the gop speaking out of both their mouths and assholes with contradictions to push their narrative? No way... not them...

And they’ll risk spreading it all along the way there and back.

👁‍🗨 Barf..

 

Trump’s talk of delaying an election opened up the “who will be President off January 21?” speculation. Here is an interesting breakdown of the possible scenarios.

And this is where Trump’s head is at..

 

 

Tax evasion maybe. It's worked in the past:

Everyday he gets dumber, one of these days some reporter will stand up and say" you sir are an imbecile" and walk out.

That’s a good question...

 

This might be why he doesn't wander too far from his fox news bubble...

He is so stupid that he actually thinks the phony assed charts his staff gives him to stop him from throwing a toddler temper tantrum are going to change the mind of a journalist who actually did some research and knows the real numbers and the correct metrics to look at. SAD!

 

What a clown. Even if you agree with every one of his policies how do you feel comfortable voting for such a horses ass?

👁‍🗨 This just gets stupider and stupider...

The Trump administration wants the next round to include 377 million dollars so they can redecorate the West Wing of the White House. - Farron Cousins (The Ring of Fire)

👁‍🗨 Think about that one..

Here is the full interview... it is worth the time. 

 

 

 

I hope the next interviews with trump follow this template of actually pushing back to the **** that dribbles out of his mouth.
