at ~5:15, reporter clearly suggesting irresponsible to hold a packed rally in Tulsa in June

moron Trump doesn't notice & instead inflates the crowd size numbers & defends why even more weren't there (w/ bullshit about protesters blocking people)... reporter didn't even mention a thing about crowd size being less than expected

~16:40 is the part where Trump responds identically to how a Russian gov't official would... exactly... there would be no difference...

(plus lying that the issue didn't get to his desk... it was in writing, so he didn't see it)

Impressive how the interviewer keeps Trump on message.


AT 10:00 Trump says something really retarded and reporter calls him on it.

One thing that I would like to point out:

The clown is making a point that the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is lower than other countries.

The clown also says that other countries only test when people are hospitalized.

The points above are directly related. The true underlying mortality rate is going to differ when conditional on non-hospitalized vs hospitalized cases. In other words, the capturing of non-symptomatic non-hospitalized cases is going to bring the CFR down compared to another metric that is highly skewed towards the CFR on hospitalized cases.

yeah, i should've noted that 10:00 part... 'people say, manuals say, books say'... 'what people, what manuals, what books?'

of course he has no answer to any of it

i wish other reporters kept on him this hard (& harder, as he's still slipping thru w/ bullshit)

...my opinion of him has not improved


(& yeah, that's another good point on the CFR... which the moron would never understand)

Just finished.

You can't sell something to someone that doesn't want to buy what you're selling.

If you position yourself to only be talking to people that want to buy what you are selling, that's the best approach.

Trump knows how to sell. We know that. Probably better than Obama, certainly better than Bush Jr. But he's been horrible at it since he stepped into office. I wonder what disconnect happened.

I posted this in the wrong Trump thread.

I know these things are Trump's own creation, this painful thing I am watching, but I still feel bad for him. So, I sit there forgetting who he is and I just want him to do well in the interview and ace all the questions.

"I wonder what disconnect happened."

Probably because politics a way way different than all the other things that Trump has been selling. As soon as you step in to politics some number of people hate you, some of them are overly skeptical etc. co-centric circles of bad faith towards you. There is little rhyme and reason sometimes. Additionally the problems of society and politics are also far more complex and complicated.

Trump has at every step on the way exacerbated the former by not dealing with the latter properly. Underestimating the complexity and overestimating his ability to sell sell sell. It works for a while, but eventually the house of card comes down.

cratering Republican numbers is the reason for these insane interviews that trump is doing lately. You hear about president wishing Epstein's sex trafficer sideckick well, and you think who the fuck thought that letting Donald talk is a good idea? But campaign people probably feel they need to do something when faced with these polls. I can only imagine the shit Donald is going to say in the fall.

Anyway, we all know that Trump's inability to deliver consistent messaging and not say stupid shit off the cuff or on Twitter hurts him. He's his own worst enemy with his litany of unforced errors.

That being said, the fact that so many people would currently rather side with a Democrstic Party that's been hijacked by socialist and Marxist extremists is a major warning sign that theres something fundamentally wrong with what Americans are hearing on the news.

If there are 3 months and 4 years remaining of the Trump Presidency the constant vitriol from the past 3 years and 7 months will be no comparison to the epic display of the squeaky wheel levels to come.

I'm totally amazed that the Democratic Party chose a candidate that is 77 years old and a three time loser. His VP pick will be the milk on toast.

To some degree CR has a point, a very depressing point. Trump has shown the limits of the POTUS, you can basically elect someone that says all kinda of crazy things and civilization survives.

Ultimately though, every crazy person like that corrodes the resiliance and cohension of that society...

people would rather side w/ the Democrat party as Trump is incompetent & mentally unfit for office

He clearly has no understanding of the pandemic & is spreading constant false info & doing NOTHING to help slow its spread (in fact denying the spread... still talking about 'we're putting out embers')

& he has no understanding of anything else... there have been constant reports of him being difficult to brief as he won't pay attention, plus it's obvious from everything he says on every topic that he has no understanding & does no preparation


see the Lincoln Project or other R's against Trump groups that are supporting Biden... you really think it's just 'fake news' that turned them against Trump?

you need no news to spot the completely obvious problems w/ Trump... just listen to anything he ever says (off prompter)

I'm believing, at the moment, it's best you psychoanalyze your own fears and worries rather than what you believe mine to be. Expressing an opinion does not constitute worry or fear.

Well, I didn't interpret as fear. Amused more like it. Some of the topics here are kinda heavy and serious, but I always manage to be amazed and amused, even during what I believe are disaster. Even when I imagine the end of the world I manage to think, what an interesting concept, the end of the world. Well, at least it will be interesting!

"Expressing an opinion does not constitute worry or fear."

this is correct, I should have said amazement instead, you were not fearing or worrying. You were in total amazement that an utterly senile person can be chosen by a party and then perhaps elected to govern the US. I said your amazement is misplaced, nothing to be amazed about here, it has been done before

In fact, should Joe Biden guarantee basic income of $3k a month to the entire fucking country and say that mexico will be paying for it, call melania a fucking prostitute and then defecate on the podium, the defecation will be the only really novel part, and I would advise democrats to not panic at all.

"That being said, the fact that so many people would currently rather side with a Democrstic Party that's been hijacked by socialist and Marxist extremists is a major warning sign that theres something fundamentally wrong with what Americans are hearing on the news."

Biden won the Dem nomination, not Sanders.

I'll probably vote for him. He sucks less.

I view the Republican party as far more likely to pivot to Libertarians than the Democratic party.

If that were to happen, like if Jo Joregensen or Rand Paul had any shot at winning, I'd very seriously give thought to voting (R) for president.

I vote (R) on state/local stuff all the time, since a SF Bay Area (R) is mostly just a moderate (D), and I know they will not be stupid on the social issues, while being fiscally conservative on the spending stuff.

Sanders did win. Biden has moved significantly to the left in order to appease Bernie's progressive base.

Biden is incredibly disingenuous. He speaks in public as little as possible so that people arent turned off from his newfound support of far-left policies, and at the same time he continues riding on his reputation as a moderate even though he no longer is one.

I think biden speaks as little as possible because all he does is put his foot in his mouth. Speaking can only famage his.lead in the polls while saying nothing hamds Trump the rope to hang himself.
