When this is the best we can do as a leader we have big problems. Doesn't matter what interviews he does the Trump kult will support anything. Even Russians ordering hits on our troops. Wow..

You people can pick at it all you want but the fact that he's doing these interviews knowing they are completely against him 100% shows he's not hiding like Biden is. It's a big **** *** to the media, that's why they hate him so much.
Jonathan Swan is a political reporter for Axios. HBO is where the interview was broadcast

As far as why Trump keeps doing these train-wreck interviews, who knows. It has to drive his campaign people crazy. When a President of the United States makes the comment "It is what it is" referring to the death of 1000+ fellow Americans every day, they must just put their heads in their hands and cry. Could you imagine George W Bush standing on the debris of the twin towers and saying the inspirational words "It is what it is"?

Trump just does not have it in his DNA to be a leader.

Have you explored David Duke's fiscal policy preferences?

Apparently Obama should have been working on a test for a virus that did not exist yet.



Not a good person to compare Trump to. So Sarah Palin sat through a 12 hour interview? That makes sense to you? Do you have a link to this 12 hour interview?
"Not a good person to compare Trump to."

Your dem BIAS is showing.

"Do you have a link to this 12 hour interview?"

The FACT that you DON'T KNOW how these things are done, says it all!


"Second in the broadcast network competition to talk to Sarah Palin: Katie Couric. The CBS anchor will spend two days on the road with the Republican vice presidential candidate
And WE are the UN-educated!

Trump is running for President and asking for votes, and those voters have a right to critique the person asking for the vote in any way they see fit.

By your logic above the only people who would have a right to critique Trump are people with an equal or higher net worth and IQ, and that is a ridiculous notion.
So, they people making claims who are NOT "smart" should be listened to and we should take everything THEY say as Gospel . Got it!

"and those voters have a right to critique the person asking for the vote in any way they see fit."

And I have no problem with that, EVERY body has the right to their OWN opinions. That doe NOT mean we have to ACCEPT their opinions.

If they are going to go public wit your opinions you have to ALLOW others to "critique" THEM.

To attempt to stop, smear, etc. people voicing disagreement with those opinions only shows me, you can't handle OTHER peoples opinions and want them silenced.

1. A bunch of attacking the messenger rather than the message because you can't adequately defend the words coming out of the mouth of your messiah.

2. B-b-b-b-ut Hillary. B-b-b-b-ut Biden. Bringing up Hillary and Biden is an irrelevant deflection because criticizing Trump doesn't make someone a Hillary supporter, nor a Biden supporter, nor a liberal, nor a Democrat. It doesn't make anyone anything other than someone who is criticizing Trump. Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'.
People like you ALWAYS attack people showing the hypocrisy of the left.


If you can't take it, DON'T dish it out.

What happened?

It’s almost as if you can’t trust the government, yet Democrats needs that trust in order to secure votes and maintain power over their “victimized” constituents.
Putin put a bounty on American soldiers and all you can do is deflect something on the Democrats? And all Trump cared about regarding the Putin bounty in the interview was that he wanted it known he was not told about it at the time.

What happened to defending America and supporting our troops? Where is the outrage to what Putin did?

Exactly. Trump is not a rags to riches story. And if you look at my net worth at the age Trump got his trust fund money from his father and how many times over I have grown my money compared to Trump I am doing much better than Trump. I can't control that Trump started the race close to the finish line and I actually had to run the race.

It reminded me of the kid in grade school, doing his homework last minute at the breakfast table, homework he put off for weeks. "Donnie, did you do the assignment?" "Yes, Miss Crabtree, it's right here."


"It's called science. And then all of the sudden something's better."


This will be my new motto.


That giant bar graph page is HILARIOUS. Like Hasbro's "My First Bar Graph"....

I imagine they tried to brief him on the graphs they printed out for him. But he was probably busy tweeting and did not pay attention to what they told him. All he could remember is the graphs prove America is doing better than the world.
