Soo... Anyone watch the ABC Interview with Trump and George Stephanopoulos?


Literal gold mine with collusion, great polls, coughing fits, and the whole shebang.

reply

I saw some of it (the greatest shits, as it were). I especially liked the part in the limo where Trumpie claimed to have "read" the Mueller report and tried to strongarm George that it absolutely exonerated him of collusion and obstruction. I think Trump only agrees to interviews with Stephanopoulos because he thinks he gets away with being a blowhard and he's too stupid to realize how much he keeps putting his foot in his mouth.

reply

Trump doesn't know how to read. This video proves it.

reply

The best part was how he insisted he read the Mueller Report (even when everyone knows that's laughable since the man doesn't read) which means the claim could be used against him in the future if he ever wanted to argue that he didn’t know what the law was.

It would have been smart for him to concede he hadn’t read it so he could claim ignorance in the face of any FEC violation which requires the subject KNOWS they are violating the law.

But of course we already know Trump's not smart. He intimidates far more intelligent opponents into feckless silence (ahem Mueller, Pelosi, all Republicans in congress except Amash) with the raw savagery of his blunt tweets. They're all pathetic.

You're right, I should have made the exception that everyone except *you* knows this. It's been reported enough times that anyone even remotely clued into the facts is aware of this.

He even openly admits it to the press "I like bullets or I like as little as possible."

Please tell me that every other President and politician doesn't rely on the same briefing bullet item summaries?

Do you think Obozo read every word of every document in play?

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2013/11/barack_obama_low_information_president.html

Obama has never had the survivors of the Benghazi Consulate terrorist attack to the White House. He has not hosted the family members of the four Americans killed in the line of duty. He has not had the families of those killed by his Fast & Furious "gun walking" program.

Obama went to sleep while the ambassador he sent to Libya, Chris Stevens, was enduring gunfire and dying in Benghazi, Libya. Why couldn't anyone get a hold of him? Where was Obama -- really?

Obama tells us he didn't know anything about the National Security Agency spying on the leaders of countries we are friends with. He didn't know about NSA spying on Americans. He didn't know about the IRS persecuting conservatives, led by the staff of the IRS General Counsel he appointed.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2775047/Report-White-House-intelligence-gap-Obama-skipping-FOUR-seven-daily-briefings.html

Report from the Government Accountability Institute examined the president's public calendar every day since his first inauguration
He has skipped most of his briefings, attending just 42.1 per cent of them in person

reply

Actually your criticism of Obama only makes Trump look worse seeing as how much they had to simplify things for him compared to his predecessor:

When Donald Trump was elected president, it quickly became obvious that the traditional national-security briefing a person in his position receives daily would be well beyond his zone of proximal development. The briefings were slimmed down in length, chopped up into easy-to-digest bullet points, and decorated with lots of graphs and pictures. Alas, the Washington Post reports, even the kiddie version of the presidential brief has proven too challenging. Now, Trump gets his briefing verbally.

Trump, the Post reports, “has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues” because reading the brief — which every president has been able to do since its existence began — “is not Trump’s preferred ‘style of learning,’ according to a person with knowledge of the situation.”

Also, Trump does not receive his verbal briefing daily, but instead “about every two to three days on average in recent months, typically around 11 a.m.” That’s when “executive time” ends and Trump has to turn off Fox News to listen to officials for a while, before he gets more screen time later in the day.

Actually your cut and paste laundry list serves to undermine your point and confirm mine.

It's a well known fact that after Trump took office he granted his military commanders the autonomy to make their own decisions instead of micromanaging every decision like Obama did. That was to give himself less work and responsibilities while providing convenient scapegoats if anything went wrong.

"as the former CEO of a major development firm he KNOWS the value of delegating"

Oh, that former CEO that ran six businesses into bankruptcy? Was that because he knew the value of delegating to the "best people"? It's funny you think six bankruptcies proves he knows the value of anything except scamming banks to loan him money that he's not credit worthy of borrowing.

But the art of the con is a skill and he apparently has it. I assume it's why you remain impressed with a guy who reported 1.2 billion in losses over a decade.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/07/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html

But then again, coming from a guy who admitted you found property management complicated and too expensive to maintain, I can see why you'd be easily impressed. So you'll just have to trust me when I tell you that losing that kind of dough isn't impressive. What is impressive is his con artist skills.

reply

6 out of roughly 500 business ventures, oh well. Now let's just ask, what was the overall result of those bankruptcies, was it....a vibrant multi billion dollar development firm? Yes, yes it was.

As for total dollar losses, do cry us a fucking urn of crocodile tears for our national debt which is non-repayable in anyone's lifetimes here. Our bi-partisan SWAMP debt! To Yuro banksters!

What is impressive is his con artist skills.


Mexico and Canada are quite in agreement with you, because that's just what it took to shake the yoke of trade deals with them that were just KILLING this nation off.

Ever do any research into how we got in this pickle? Woodrow Wilson is a great place to start...

http://usa-the-republic.com/banks/Edward_Mandell_House_Predicts_Creation_Of_STRAWMAN.pdf

In a private meeting with Woodrow Wilson (US President 1913 - 1921) Colonel Edward Mandell House predicted the banksters' plans to enslave the American people.

"Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.

Without realizing it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America."
- Colonel Edward Mandell House.

"6 out of roughly 500 business ventures"

LMAO! You're still peddling this absurd canard? He had nothing to do with management of those "500 business ventures". His involvement was restricted to licensing deals where in exchange for the use of his name to brand the venture he was given a minority and non-controlling equity stake in the company.

Like I said, he's a master con artist. But the fact remains that every business he managed himself he ended up driving into insolvency. He was forced by the board of directors and creditors of those companies he bankrupted to give up his managing and controlling stake.

It takes a special kind of gross incompetence to bankrupt a casino. Just sayin.

https://www.thoughtco.com/donald-trump-business-bankruptcies-4152019

Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey's gambling facilities. He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to restructure or wipe away much of their debt to other companies, creditors, and shareholders while remaining in business but under the supervision of a bankruptcy court. Chapter 11 is often called "reorganization" because it allows the business to emerge from the process more efficient and on good terms with its creditors.

Yeah there are some core buildings he retained after restructuring from Chapter 11 that he built early in his career with daddy's money. But after the mass bankruptcies the buildings and development projects you'd see his name on were restricted to licensing deals he had no involvement in building himself. Look it up.

US banks wanted nothing to do with his money hemorrhaging management ineptitude. Look it up.

Donald Trump’s company turned a $1.97 million profit at its opulent Trump International Hotel so far in 2017, dramatically beating its expectations and giving the first hard numbers to critics who charge that Trump is profiting from his presidency.

The Trump Organization had projected that it would lose $2.1 million during the first four months of 2017 as it established a new hotel and convention business in the nation’s capital, according to newly released federal documents.

Instead the hotel, with its namesake in the White House down the street, is already turning a hefty profit and charging more for its rooms than most or all of the city’s other hotels.

The $4.1 million swing from projected losses to profitability represents a 192 percent improvement over what the Trump family planned to make when the company opened the hotel in the fall.

https://www.investors.com/news/president-trump-lockheed-martin-will-cut-f-35-cost-by-600-million/
President Donald Trump said Monday that Lockheed Martin (LMT) has done a "great job," agreeing to slash the F-35 fighter jet program's cost by $600 million.

"I appreciate Lockheed Martin for being so responsive," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The cost cuts will be for the next order of F-35 jets, Trump said, claiming that billions of dollars will be saved in contracts over time. Lockheed had already pledged to slash F-35 costs after years of delays and price overruns. It's unclear if Trump's touted savings are in line with Lockheed's pre-existing plans.

Trump had harshly criticized the cost of the Lockheed F-35 and the Boeing (BA) contract for new Air Force One jets in a series of tweets and public comments since he was elected.

21 Mar 2017
When President Donald Trump claimed at the end of January that his negotiations with Lockheed Martin executives were responsible for a $600 million savings in the most recent lot of 90 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, critics were quick to point out that officials with the program had predicted the cost drop more than a month before.

But in a brief with reporters Tuesday, Lockheed CEO Marillyn Hewson said Trump was justified in taking credit for accelerating the deal-making on the F-35 lot and emphasizing a lower price point.

"If you think about his focus and his long-term trend of increasing more spending in national security and on defense spending, the F-35 is the largest program that the Department of Defense has in its budget," Hewson said. "So for him to focus on the F-35 and to focus on how he can get the best price for the taxpayer going forward, I think, was perfectly appropriate."

Trump's involvement in discussions on low-rate initial production (LRIP) lot 10, she said, had "absolutely" made a difference in the timing and outcome of the agreement between Lockheed and the Department of Defense on the aircraft buy.

"He helped accelerate that along, and I think he put a sharper focus on price and how we drive the price down," she said. "He absolutely did contribute to us getting to closure on that."

END OF STORY!

Again:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), long a critic of the F-35's cost overruns and schedule delays, demanded in a January letter to Hewson details on "any new initiatives ... to reduce the F-35 program costs."

In his defense: Administration officials said Trump gets full intelligence briefings, and noted that past presidents have historically sought to get information in different ways.

Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats also said in a statement that “any notion that President Trump is not fully engaged in the PDB or does not read the briefing materials is pure fiction and is clearly not based on firsthand knowledge of the process.”

Amazing multitasking for man of his years, innit!

Wholly necessary too as that is his only venue to speak to the American people save for Fox.

And yet still he has accomplished ten times more in 2.5 years than Obozo did in 2 ful terms.

I hope it makes your tiny head explode with bitter irony, truly I do!

lmao! Yeah, watching Fox and Friends and tweeting at the same time. The multitasking manchurian president. Just think. Five hours a day tweeting and gabbing on the phone with Hannity, begging him for the latest gossip. All before his 11:30 presidential briefing where he demands large bullet points and big flowery pictures in order to understand what they mean.

I already shut you down last week on your same cut and paste of ICE stats. So I'll just cut and paste what I told you before.

Your stats just exhibits how Trump has been a colossal failure on his signature issue: immigration.

But now, as the effects of his immigration policies have become measurable, it is clear to us—three people who have worked on the issue in previous administrations—that Trump is the worst president for border security in the last 30 years.

The border is currently overwhelmed with increasing numbers of migrants, in particular Central American asylum seekers. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported that 66,450 persons were apprehended between the ports of entry in February, the highest monthly total in a decade. Projections for March are even worse—exceeding 100,000—with experts concerned that monthly totals could exceed 150,000 in the coming months. CBP is reassigning officers from the ports of entry, which are critically understaffed, to help Border Patrol with the crush. CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan has said the immigration system on the border is at “the breaking point.” In response, the president threatened to close the border altogether to legal crossings, a threat he walked back on Thursday and replaced with a “one-year warning” to Mexico.

Despite the administration’s attempts to shift blame for the chaos, make no mistake: It is Donald Trump himself who is responsible. Through misguided policies, political stunts and a failure of leadership, the president has created the conditions that allowed the asylum problem at the border to explode into a crisis.

Immigration: In August, illegal border crossing apprehensions were down 41 percent on the southern border compared to August 2016.

https://www.peoplespunditdaily.com/news/politics/2017/12/05/dhs-data-show-historic-immigration-enforcement-success-fy-2017/

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) From the start of the Trump Administration on January 20, 2017 through the end of the fiscal year, ERO made 110,568 arrests juxtaposed to 77,806 in FY 2016, also an increase of 40%.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jul/5/trump-immigration-policies-working/

President Donald Trump’s immigration policies - even those not yet fully in effect - are already a huge success. How do we know? Well, for one thing, The New York Times is crediting Mr. Trump’s policies with having had a swift and significant effect on curbing illegal immigration. And, although we don’t often have cause to say this, in this instance, The NYTimes is absolutely correct.
In a full-length piece in Monday’s print edition, reporter Kirk Semple makes the persuasive case that President Trump’s get-tough approach to immigration policy has played a significant role in the decrease of illegal immigration into the United States. From the article: “From February through May [of this year], the number of undocumented immigrants stopped or caught along the southwest border of the United States fell 60 percent from the same period last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection - evidence that far fewer migrants are heading north, officials on both sides of the border say.”

reply

LOOOL! You're citing old articles when more recent data debunks your claims.

"The number of migrants apprehended at the border surged in May to the highest level since 2006, with 132,887 detained - including 11,507 unaccompanied children. It was the first time that detentions had exceeded 100,000 since April 2007."

I especially liked the part in the limo where Trumpie claimed to have "read" the Mueller report and tried to strongarm George that it absolutely exonerated him of collusion and obstruction.


Indictments of the president are to be found where?

Uh huh...

reply

They'll be plenty in 2011 when Rump is a private citizen again and he can't hid behind his "stay out of jail free" card--the Presidency.

reply

Is this your concession that the Mueller report found NO collusion between him and the Russkies?

If so - good, it's about time.

reply

The Mueller Report found plenty of instances of collusion between Trump and the Russians. The conclusion was although there was plenty of collusion, there wasn't enough evidence to warrant making a case of criminal conspiracy. JUST BECAUSE CHARGES ARE NOT BROUGHT DOESN'T MEAN A CRIME HAS NOT OCCURRED. If you'd read the report you'd see the facts prove Trump colluded with Russia. But that's probably too much judicial ambivalence for you to wrap yer wittle Trumpian pea-brain around.

As for Obstruction of Justice by Trump, if he wasn't sitting in the Oval Office and was any other person, there is overwhelming evidence it occurred. Hundreds of federal prosecutors across America have signed a letter stating so. Again, it's probably too complex for you to interpret what Mueller said concerning this: "...if we had clear evidence the President did not commit a crime, we would have so." That is NOT an exoneration, Chuckles.

Very generous The President sat down with the head of the Clinton War Room. A group which cataloged their illegal campaign tactics in “The War Room” for all to see. Of course when demokkkrats spy and steal it’s just “good campaigning” and “oppo research”.

Wonder how George felt being the head of a campaign for a guy more concerned with bjs from 18yo linterns. A guy accused of rape by a half dozen women.

George seems like an intelligent, driven guy out for his own success. Just a regular old objective journalist concerned with providing the unbiased truth. He’s head of ABC news, anchor on This Week, hosts GMA, so obviously there’s no political agenda. It must have bothered him quite a bit to have to ride the coat rails of corrupt lying scumbags like the Clintons and James Carville. The architects of the modern demokkkrat party strategy of say anything, offer nothing, and encourage hate.

Fortunately the American people chose real leadership for the White House. And we have the strongest economy in half a century thanks to his leadership.

reply

Gd5150 thinks that "The War Room" documents illegal campaign tactics?

Such as?

And Bill Clinton did work while he got his bjs - he famously took PHONE calls during one. He was a known work & policy WONK who took vacations in places where he could attend seminars. He was INTERESTED in policies. And the women who brought rape charges to COURT also famously RECANTED their accusations when they were placed under oath.

Let's see if the 16 women - including someone who was 13 at the time t-Rump assaulted HER - will ever see their day in court.

As for Donald having "the strongest economy in half a century?" - Gd has been drinking the juice from old Toilet Plunger Lips's own mouth. He EXPLODED the deficit to levels that had you GOPRicks apoplectic when Obama spent government funds to stimulate the economy after the GOP/W's GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE. And Bill Clinton left a surplu$.

But Gd maligns George Steph and ABC as having a political agenda. LOLOLOL

*I* thought GS bent over backward to let t-Rump speak for himself.
