I just want to comment on this snippet from the Daily Beast article:
Trump’s comments got even more unhinged when discussing a live interview Carroll once did with Anderson Cooper on CNN. He alleged that Cooper pushed Carroll to be more hostile toward him in a mid-interview commercial break—a claim that’s unsubstantiated.
Anderson Cooper had a very good response to that. He first of all said (I’m paraphrasing from memory) that most of Trump’s wild fabrications and childish insults aren’t worth responding to, but since this was aimed directly at him and questioned his journalistic integrity, he was going to respond to that one.
Trump is not only a serial liar, but apparently also an idiot who doesn’t understand how broadcast television usually works. As Cooper pointed out, the interview wasn’t live, it was previously recorded. They didn’t just sit there while the commercials ran, with Cooper conspiring with Carroll to incriminate Trump. Cooper ran the raw footage to show exactly what happened behind the scenes. On the tape, Cooper says “we’re going to take a commercial break now”, then does a quick sound check with the control room, then says “OK, we’re back, talking with E. Jean Carroll”).
Trump could lie more effectively if he wasn’t so fucking stupid.
So apparently someone on some committee said, “We need to increase Trump’s appeal among Latin Americans”. Guess which language they translated their sign into.
The ABC debate is in Philadelphia? Right across the river from where weed is legal? Maybe some of ShitGibbon’s aides will trying getting him stoned to calm him down for the debate. Though, the digressions, it could be nightmarish.
I know it’s too much to hope for, but I wish one of the moderators would pull a Billy Madison movie quote on him.
For the very few people who don’t know this one, it is as follows:
Mr. (Trump), what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
See, they vape him with hybrid right before the debate, so that he is mellow, but they load his burgers up with straight Indica so that when it hits, an hour or two after the “debate”, he goes into solid couchlock and they can ferry him harmlessly around in a wheelbarrow.
There is nothing Trump-specific to it. While Trump’s efforts do lend themselves to dumpster fires, unfortunately those are neither unique to him nor in short supply.
