Trump TIME interview

[HomerJS]

Trump gives no fucks about consultants' that's what people like about him.
Honestly I haven't read the article and I'm confident its full of crap I won't like but I'll agree one of the refreshing points of Trump is him not relying on consultants and advisors', so far it seems like a bad plan but it's still something different.

Is stating the Q&A article is "full of crap" your way of denying reality?

That's hilarious, it's an interview. You know questions (some brief ones) and then Trump's incoherent answers. So what exactly is full of crap about it?

Nope its just saying that nearly everyone who voted for him like that aspect of him. This is an interesting topic but something our more conservative members or Trump supporters give no fucks about. We (Democrats) need to stick to whats important. Trump giving a boastful and silly interview is not important.

I'm torn. Much like a kid that acts out for any and all attention I have one part of me that says deny him of any and all attention. Do not reward him with screen time, air time, interviews ect. That's the only way to strike at his ego and deflate him. Make him insignificant.

But on the flip side, interviews like this that he comes off as a raging moron could continue to erode away support and reinforce why many of us never voted for him in the first place. But that's a fools errand. He's been like this since the start. It's not like it's new behavior and we should expect some real presidential pivot.

At this point this stuff is just nothing more than public shaming of the US to the rest of the world.

Well said, I agree.

Quite frankly, we deserve it. Ignoring it normalizes it. Do you just let your kid have temper tantrums of do you put your foot down. This country will have to sink very low for Trump voters to realize they fucked up.

A problem can't be fixed until there is a realization there is one.

There's nothing, not one single thing refreshing about drumpf and his actions as president. There are advisers for a reason, just like you put highly experienced people in as dept heads, not just people to 'shake things up'

Recall how Ray-gun was a mindless, walking fleshbag for at least 3 years of his presidency. What would he have accomplished were it not for close advisers implementing "his" policy, while closely guarding the reality of his health situation from the American public? Advisors are important and are often necessary to actually do the required work of POTUS.

lol, sound familiar?:

Even more chilling, Cannon told Mayer and McManus, was the portrait that White House aides drew of Reagan: "They told stories about how inattentive and inept the president was. He was lazy; he wasn't interested in the job. They said he wouldn't read the papers they gave him -- even short position papers and documents. They said he wouldn't come over to work -- all he wanted to do was to watch movies and television at the residence."

Cannon told the Los Angeles Times that he interviewed 15 to 20 White House officials, including senior aides, and "the overwhelming majority" painted that portrait of Reagan.

The portrait was so deeply disturbing to Cannon, who had served as an aide to Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller and as domestic policy adviser to President Gerald R. Ford, that he began his memo to the incoming chief of staff with this startling recommendation:

"1. Consider the possibility that section four of the 25th Amendment might be applied." The amendment, added to the Constitution in 1967, provides that the president may be removed if the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet declare him "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

Of course, that was fake news then, and fake news especially now, because conservatives have so thoroughly swallowed the smoke and lies of the post-Reagan re-education campaign designed to paint this guy as everything but the treasonous, wealth-stealing, gays-killing, mentally-incompetent boob that he was. But hey--He talked real good!

Oh, also: Trump sucks.

That was the networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc), DNC and well, the RNC strategy to defeat him during the primaries and the general. It only served to give him free air time. Trump gambled on and was right about one important thing: Much of this country is truly as stupid as we've all assumed.

 

[Homerboy]

no. He literally can not tell the truth. Trump's entire business and brand is based on lying. It is simply how he operates. Lie, treat people like shit, force them to sue you and challenge you to honor your contracts. If they don't, you win. Fuck everyone.

Roy Cohn

There's no denying this. He literally (ghost) wrote about it in his "Art of the Deal" book.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I am increasingly convinced that in addition to being a sociopath and pathological liar, President Trump is in the early phases of senile dementia. I defy anyone to read this interview transcript and conclude that this is a man in his right mind. Try to imagine any other American President (even Reagan, who may well have been suffering from senile dementia in his second term) so incapable of tracking a conversation and responding coherently to questions. It's just chilling to think that this person controls the most devastating arsenal ever assembled in human history, and that he could, on a whim, effect the destruction of our planet. May God help us all . . .

 

[Ns1]

this would all be so hilarious if it weren't so sad.

 

[interchange]

It's really too bad that so much of the Republican party who is fundamentally opposed to Trump rides a thin supportive line out of fear of the consequences. If everyone who was anti-Trump were aligned in behavior, the man would have no power.

Yeah, this would be great in a scripted TV show.

 

[K1052]

Yeah, this would be great in a scripted TV show.

We are at the point where a vote for Frank Underwood would be the responsible and moral choice.

 

[ivwshane]

We brought this on ourselves guys. It was a self fulfilling prophecy started with the daily show and the Colbert report. They created a character so awful and so sad that people fell in love with him and trump simply stepped in and filled the void. The character they created to highlight the rights absurdity has become real and his name is trump.

I think we need to come up with a new person to make fun of who is super logical, reasonable, firmly planted in reality and inspirational. That way, when that person comes along in real life, we will have already fallen in love with them.

The next season of HOC should just be Kevin Spacey out of character just doing Monologues to Trump rallies and speeches. Basically throw in the towel and admit that truth is stranger than fiction.

 

[zinfamous]

I'm kinda stoked for the new season of Veep. They briefly towed with the Trump reality in a non-serious way last season with the baseball manager-turned candidate. But now this is real.

 

[UNCjigga]

JEEZUS, our POTUS is a Libertaryan, Conservatard, PUTINesca Sauce wet dream all wrapped up in one!

This is how he can single-handedly bring down America...He's somehow convinced half the country that all of their fears about Big Government are justified, every kooky right wing nut conspiracy theory is true. But the maddening thing is that Trump isn't exposing some big fraud in the "swamp", he is BECOMING the fraud! He is Chief Crocodile, and exclaiming "See!!? You just can't trust Government or the Media, because they LED you to me!"

If Claire ever replaced Frank as the candidate, they could've had a great storyline with billionaire Tusk running against her, bankrolled in secret by Petrov (who hates Claire more than Putin hates Hillary?) and the Chinese...

Maybe they could have a subplot where Claire is funneling sex slaves from one of the south american countries her non-profit company was doing clean water business in through the basement of Freddie's BBQ that is now back up and running.

 

[Homerboy]

Yeah, this would be great in a scripted TV show.

Veep (a great show on HBO) is actually "struggling" with keeping their satire and not becoming a "Trump Show"
It's like their show has come to life (though Louis-Dreyfus is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier on the eyes than Mr. Trump)

[Victorian Gray]

The American Conservative is sick to his core. He has been bombarded by so much propaganda he does not know which way is up anymore. To make matters worse, he is convinced that only the American Conservative is healthy and everyone else is sick, so even when you manage to expose one layer of his sickness to the point he cannot deny it anymore, he just falls back on "well everyone else is more sicker than I am so fuck you."

Are there any real American conservatives left? All I seem to ever see any more are plain old reactionaries and their subsets of culture warriors and alt fascists.
