Thanks for the link. Seriously. I’m going to bookmark it.
Maybe later… after I get back from the pharmacy with a new supply of medication…
Looking further, here is a print transcript from the CBS News website.
I skimmed through the transcript. This is what I got.
A lot of people come to my rallies and love and adore me.
A lot of people didn’t vote for Republican candidates.
People love me, so it’s the fault of the candidates.
So, my dog loves and adores me. If you don’t like me, it’s not me, it’s something else. I’m lovable.
I’ve given up on pretty much everything that is on network TV. That includes the national “news” which has become just a series of sensationalist clips. I gave up on 60 Minutes long ago when it was evident that it was headed for the dustbin. It’s a damned shame that what was once a serious and well-regarded program has become another political tool.
I didn’t watch.
Thanks for the reports on it.
I was really hoping his head would explode right on TV. Alas…
There’s a decent chance his ass did, but even if it did, CBS wouldn’t have aired it.
Who was that referring to?
Natalie, I suppose. Trump doesn’t actually like dog dogs, i.e., the canine variety.
For the dog loves me thing, I was thinking comments like this from the transcript:
There was love. I mean, we had massive rallies.
I get lots of love from my dog, but that isn’t a good indicator of my popularity.
Trump is no dog person, he isn’t capable of affection. The closest he comes to liking dogs is when he uses the words “like” and “dog” in the same sentence in an attempt to insult someone. Like a dog
I watched it and it was pretty much soft balls. The interviewer did press him from time to time. Trump was bragging about the billions and billions we are getting from Venezuela. Seems like a pretty good time to ask “Where, exactly, is all that money?”, right? Nope.
In baseball I believe it is one word: softballs.
Of course, without further clarification this is only a possible correction.
Trump’s “law suit” plan is probably the one legitimately smart idea he’s ever had, or at least promoted, since it’s probably someone else’s idea. Get your supporters to sue the government, then order the lawyers to settle. Sue others for billions, but make it clear you’ll settle for millions while giving them access to the president. And it’s all technically legal.
It’s a news interview which is excluded from the equal time rule anyway.
But they’d air the studio.
