Where'd you get that figure from, Mr. President? The manuals?

You could take almost any 30 second segment of this interview and release it as a campaign ad against Trump. It really was that bad. You won't convince that 38% or so of Trump's base. Ever. But you don't need to.
I would like to see these "manuals." Perhaps "Running America for Dummies." The fact that Trumpers can only say the video must be doctored shows they cannot defend what Trump said. There is just no way to spin it.

The problem with having a 38% base is Trump needs another 10% or so to have a chance of winning. And that will be tough. I have watched a couple of recent John Bolton interviews and how he describes Trump in the white house is exactly how Trump was in the HBO interview. Way out of his league and having zero concern with that fact.

His SCOTUS picks have not been nearly as lock step conservative as they were suppose to be. One or both have ruled several times with the liberal appointees. Neither is a Scalia. If someone wants Rowe v. Wade overturned not sure these two will deliver.

Indeed.

It appears the Heritage Foundation might have missed the mark on these two judges, eh?

I agree.

I was just looking at the mindset of supporters....which in some cases would include 'head buried in sand' re the two choices he has already made .

Until Trump really goes after his two scotus picks his devotees won't talk much and what can Trump say about it? He can't fire them and complaining too much shows he made bad picks. I think they are actually good choices because they are not just a rubber stamp for one side or another like the other ones are. But Trump was aiming for conservative rubber stamps.

You people just don't get it.

Trump is again playing the media like a fiddle, and his opponents, by not really doing anything.

All he has to do is win is continue being president and showing us he's out there. He's now taking questions on the way to the helicopter he could EASILY have avoided. He knows they're BS questions for the most part. Then we'll see another press conference this evening and he'll wade through more BS questions. Repeat tomorrow, and the next day. Biden will keep hiding.

About the HBO interview? I had to be reminded pretty heavily of BLM at the beginning, nauseating. Credibility goes out the window right then. If you all want to talk about an interview talk about the one with Chris Wallace. He grilled Trump and it was a very non-biased interview. CW is also from Fox News. Would CNN ever grill Biden or Obama like that? Uhhh no.
