The Trump Thread

Published

I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can.  My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.  

He's not going away.

Haberman's book is out based on interviews.  I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting.  Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with.  LOL

Quote

“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

A discussion of Trump's growing disinhibition and other disqualifying character flaws which render him unfit.  

LOL 

You seriously watch Trump more than 2 Republicans put together.

Editing for me, but not for thee

Are you talking about 60 minutes editing Harris interview and refusing to release transcripts?

Sure. 

Why not comment on the disinhibition and how dangerous that is in a president?

This reminds me of the propaganda surrounding Biden. When Biden is fullfilling a rigorous work schedule attending meetings and traveling he just 'exhausted" 

Trump exhaustion from campaining, doing interviews and almost getting killed twice, it is  "decline" . Did you not say something about double standards? 

No problem.  If Trump is unable to carry out his duties Vance will take over. Hence the job description of the VP.

I am saying Trump has no objection to editing his interviews but claims that edits for others must be a cover- up.

So I guess you don't want to talk about Trump in the Trump thread.  

Vance has been a senator less than 2 years.  He is not really qualified to be president other than by age and citizenship. He's just another example of a Trump's terrible judgment.  Vance will put P2025 into full swing though, there's that.

Probably because some people think it wasn't edited as per the usual process? It was used to make Harris look better.  

Too bad they don't release all the footage.

Oh stop it with the P2025 spook story. Do you really believe any POTUS or VP can just up and initiate P2025? LOL.

Frankly, I don't think most people care. This is old business that I doubt is going to sway anyone's vote. It make lose CBS a few viewers. Even if a transcript was released, if it didn't say what Trump wanted he would scream fraud. 

What do you think about Trump wanting the kind of generals Hitler had?

Do think the repeated and recycled BS like the Hitler comparison is swaying anyone's vote, especially considering we've all already lived through a Trump presidency?

Kinda reeks of desperation, doesn't it?

Most people don't care.  Trump apologists care because Trump looks and sounds so bad in public appearances now, they have to blame the editing.  They want us all to believe that it's selective editing that makes Harris look like the younger, sharper candidate rather than selective editing which makes Trump appear thoughtful or capable of answering a question that isn't about oil or tariffs.
