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.

On Saturday, a White House spokesperson announced that President Trump would meet with local law enforcement and survey the damage from recent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. On Sunday, leaders in Wisconsin asked Trump to “reconsider” such a trip.

“I write today to respectively ask you to reconsider,” Governor Tony Evers penned in a letter to Trump, who was concerned that the president’s presence in Kenosha would “only hinder our healing.” Evers, a Democrat who won the governor’s seat over Scott Walker in the 2018 midterm, also warned that Trump’s visit would require the city and state to reallocate funds toward his trip, rather than toward “keeping the people of Kenosha safe”

Somebody must have told him to keep it close to his thinking parts...

 

 

 

This book is the next news cycle

Vile man. Who can believe this is real?

 

Thugs and dark shadows and a plane full of dark dressed people who are under investigation.

This train is off the rail..

 

The flamer...

 

I like the FD quick response...

 

 

Apparently according to Trump, any leader of any city or state that doesn't want his storm troopers are fools.

If only Strokehontas would trend.

Don’t bother with a resumé, just show me your police record...

 

Trump telling the world that he did not have a series of mini strokes and even though it looks like by some of his actions lately it's possible, who the hell asked him, the POTUS is flat out crazy and trying to get ahead of another thing that will make him look weak

One guy thinks he is a genius, the other just another stooge, both should end up in jail

 

I think he feels tricked, as in he wasn’t sure what a body camera is...so he passed the question forward. 
And I’m only half joking

You’ve read this:

TRUMP: "A person was on a plane, said there were about 6 people like that person, more or less, and what happened is the entire plane filled up with the looters, the anarchists, rioters, people looking for trouble. The person felt very uncomfortable on the plane." 
This is the first in a series of sentences that use all the words that cognitive guy did so well on.
Next up...female

He is a cesspool of stupidity, lie after lie, never gives any proof of what he says and Americans of the future will have volumes and volumes of material of how a terrible business man with many a bankruptcy, failed marriages, racist views conned them to become the dumbest President in their history.

Con artist. But only the stupid are conned.

It's like everyone in Trump's orbit doesn't think anyone will fact check, that's how stupid they are and how stupid Trump's base is.

Fox News aired the second part of President Donald Trump’s lengthy interview with Laura Ingraham on Tuesday and it was nearly as wild as the first one.

👁‍🗨 Also shows you what a suck-up Ingraham is...

In the sequel chat, Trump continued his attacks on Biden, but with a twist. In the past, he has repeatedly ― and without evidence ― claimed that Biden was “mentally shot.” Now, however, Trump claims Biden has a souped-up brain from some kind of drug.
And he wants drug tests before the debates as a result.

During the interview, Trump insisted he won the 2016 popular vote ― which he lost by nearly 3 million ballots ― because he should’ve received the votes of the libertarian candidate. He also made unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in California and New York:

At another point in the interview, Trump said Democratic governors controlled football and traffic signals. But he stopped mid-sentence to turn to the camera and address someone – exactly who, it was unclear ― and say he wants college football. 

 

 

Factoids: 
- Part two of Trump's never-ending interview with Laura Ingraham begins with Trump calling on Bill Barr to prosecute the likes of Obama and Biden - Aaron Ruper
- Trump ludicrously suggests that more people die from state economies being shut down than from Covid

- Mike Pence was never put on standby, & there were no mini-strokes. This is just more Fake News by @CNN, a phony story. The reason for the visit to Walter Reed, together with the full press pool, was to complete my yearly physical. Short visit, then returned (with press) to W.H... - Trump

- Katheryn Watson
Just to note that the visit wasn't that short — the president was inside Walter Reed for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. I was in the press pool and motorcade that day. The trip was not on his schedule, we were summoned pretty quickly, and weren't told where we were going.

- BREAKING: Pence says he “doesn’t recall” if he was told to take over when Trump made his emergency visit to Walter Reed. Which absolutely confirms the story. Trump is unwell and completely unfit for office. Scott Dwarkin

- Biden says he’d like a real-time fact-checking service broadcast during the debates due to the volume of Trump’s lies: “I’d love to have a crawler across the screen, a fact-checker.” - Marc Caputo

- Do you think when Donald Trump obsesses about mini strokes he’s thinking about his golf game? - Dan Rather

- Minnie Strokes is the name of one of the porn stars Cohen had to pay off. - Jay Black

- "Mini Strokes" also happens to be Stormy's nickname for Trump. - Alex Cole

- “A Minnesota biker who attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has died of covid-19 —- the first fatality from the virus traced to the 10-day event that drew more than 400,000 to South Dakota.” - John Harwood
