Trump MANIPULATES THE PRESS. He CONTROLS what they report on and THEY have been PROVEN to be the liars, distortion and omition of details in their "reporting", which is WHY they have had a LOWER APPROVAL rating of even Congress for DECADES for very GOOD reasons.
If Trump manipulates and controls the press then why is he constantly whining about "fake news"? Hell, now he's even complaining about Fox News (AKA Trump TV).
Shakespeare had Trump in mind when he wrote "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
Had never thought about that with respect to Trump but it is dead on. Reminds us that hucksters like DJT are nothing new, we've always had them with us. The only surprise is that enough deluded people came together to vote this fool into the Presidency of the United States.
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”
Unbelievable. Thanks for posting that, I hadn't read it before. How can anyone defend this as being "articulate" with a straight face? This is the mental floundering of someone who is high or deeply confused.
I get why someone might have voted for this guy. But now that we have witnessed his inability to perform the duties of a President? The only reasons for voting for him in 2020 are pure ignorance or stubbornness. Or maybe this sort of blathering makes some people feel that he can relate to the "common man". Grasping at straws, I just don't get it.
