Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Congratulations to @jdickerson of Face the Nation on his highest ratings in 15 years. 4.6 million people watched my interview! Thank you!
2:10 PM - 11 Jan 2016

Trump’s Jan. 3 “Face the Nation” interview actually drew 4.6 million viewers, according to TVNewser, a figure the POTUS tweeted out a week later. The site notes it was the show’s biggest audience since Sept. 16, 2001.

Taking politics and opinions out of it, ^^^ this is basically what happened. And it's disgusting.

Again, If Barack had said this, conservatives on City-Data would already have a 20+ page thread about how outraged they are.

It is very similar to when post-Inaugural he stood in front of the CIA's memorial to agents/officers who gave their lives in the line of duty, and castigated the news media for truthfully reporting on the small size of his Inauguration crowd.

He has no moral compass. None.

Coming from a man who in the past has likened his 'struggles' to avoid getting the clap with service in Vietnam I guess this should come as no surprise.

What does this have to do with anything? You were still wrong in your original post on this thread.

So he's been a complete and utter pig on this issue twice.

Is that the point you're trying to make?

It's his way of countering the biased media assault on him.
You have it bad for Trump!

Meh... not a Trump defender, but after 6 months of haters posting endless threads about every single thing he does and says which ultimately send them into feigned outrage... it's simply getting old.

When his 10 year old son became fodder for attack and few haters said "that was too far" you all lost credibility entirely.

The fact that some Trumpers are actually trying to defend/spin this is kinda of depressing me.
