Actually, I could totally see him doing this. "Hello, is this Mrs. [name], mother of Corporal [name]? … Good, good, glad I caught you. This is President Trump. I just wanted to tell you your son’s dead – loser! >click< “I crack me up!”
Based on reporting, it would be more like “Hello, is this the mother of Corporal ummm, uhhhh…hang on…(muffled) Hey, what’s this loser’s name? How am I supposed to remember the name of every sucker who’s stupid enough to die for their country? That’s YOUR goddam job idiot!! (back on) Sorry, Mrs. SMITH. Anyway, your son’s dead. But he knew what he signed up for, amirite?”
I am reminded of Commander Vimes not allowing Nobby to deliver bad news: “We don’t want any of that ‘Bet you a dollar you’re the Widow Jackson’ nonsense.”
He’s like one of these killers you see on Crime TV or Dateline, who’s narcissistic enough to believe that if he just talks to the police and acts like he’s got nothing to hide he can somehow outsmart them and get them off his case.
I think Sarah just misspoke – she said “notification” calls, when they were really condolence calls.
She’s still a lying sack of shit and he’s still an asshole, though. Carry on.
I’d believe “notification” before I believe “condolence”.
I’d believe “solicitation for political donation” before either.
I’d believe “looting the Treasury” before “solicitation for political donation”.
Actually, I’d believe The Administration demanding payment of a “Notification Charge” before connecting the call.
In fairness, the Notification Charge does include a free copy of The Art of the Deal, written by Donal… err, with Donald’s Trump’s name on it.
For an extra $20, they won’t send the free copy.
Latest Woodward book excerpt from BusinessInsider.com:
Quote from the article:
“Do you believe that he did it?” Woodward asked.
“No, he says that he didn’t do it,” Trump replied.
“I know, but do you really believe —” Woodward began before Trump cut him off.
“He says very strongly that he didn’t do it. Bob, they spent $400 billion over a fairly short period of time,” the president said.
In other words, “Bob, I’ve got 400 billion reasons to believe MBS didn’t kill Kashoggi.”
What ever happened to the oleander extract for the cure for coronavirus?
Just wait two more weeks.
That’s when the much-ballyhooed vaccine is supposed to be announced? They’re going to shoot us all up with oleander extract?
Please try to keep up. The current medicine of the week is calcifediol.
Trump hasn’t tweeted about it yet, so maybe there’s actually something to this one.
More than likely he just has no financial stake in it. Not that I have become more cynical or anything.
Trump explaining that it’s all Bob Woodward’s fault:
If Bob Woodward thought that what I said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after I said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let them know
My bold.
Does trump realize that (alas) he IS “the authorities”?
That would make him responsible. And he takes no responsibility or blame, only credit.
