Well he certainly hits his talking points on NATO though bragging about getting no actual commitment 😉
Would be nice for Bob to get a pair 😉
Well he’s got his witch hunt now as they are going to have to find the op-ed to keep him happy.
Phone call with Woodward just shows Trump for what he is.
Convo ststarts that no one told Trump that Woodward wanted to talk to him and goes on about not being told then trump actually mentions at the end that he oh x did mention that.
Doesnt care about lying and being caught.

Or he can't comprehend he is lying. It's just a stream of semi conscious thoughts leaking out. Some of that stuff should have been the internal thoughts for most people or scribbled on the notepad rather than.read out loud.
Seems entirely plausible that somebody would coment that trump on the record to muller would end up with the orange jump suit - I wonder if they will match the skin tone.
It's it me, or does it feel like the trolling, calling out and general keeping pressure up may actually encourage the orange boaby to have the world's finest flounce soon?
#please
Poetic justice would be if he got time in a federal prison in New Mexico. I gather he does not like Mexico...
Or he can’t comprehend he is lying.
This. He is like a desperate salesman just saying what the people directly in front of him want. Trouble is now it is being recorded and other people are listening.
i really think he doesn’t understand the job or that it will impact him, his family and business forever... I foresee bitterness and wild anger before too long.
Will be pretty rough for the 2 secret service agents assigned to him after the presidency if he’s in prison eh?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45435813 - The BBC looked at the linguistic style of the NYT piece...and pretty much concludes its Pence!!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Without being funny, I did think it might be Pence. Too many "It wasn't me Guv, honest" noises, and off course he can tell folks that might want to know (apart from Trump, obvs)

It can't be him, whatever the linguistic tics involved. Say Trump stands down, and Pence assumes the presidency and fights in 2020, the NYT can simply end him by revealing him as someone who not only undermined the previous incumbent, but then barefaced lied about it through his denial.
Far too risky for a cowardly worm like Pence. Will be some deputy-something or other. The only senior figure I had in mind was Dan Coats, but even he's denied it.

There is the mention of adults so I reckon it is TeamHurtmore.
I would assume whoever wrote it would try and do it in a nonstandard way even if the paper didnt add some stuff on top. If it was me I would also be trying to fake someone I dont like style.
it can only be a matter of time until someone at the NYT gets pissed and leaks it to everyone in a bar...
It took 31 years to find out who Deep Throat was...
The thing is that this would be wonderful, being able to take the piss out of the Merkins for electing a racist, sexist cretin in a big racist tantrum/protest vote gone wrong.
But the yanks, stupid as they are, at least had the sense to make the result of their racist tantrum reversible after four years....
Slim Shady?
I've just started watching Blazing Saddles for the first time in ages and every time Mel Brook's governor speaks I think it could be Donald Trump...
The Obama speech today was quite something!
Obama didn’t even try and veil his contempt for trump in the speech, I wonder how the orange bawbag will respond. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the whitehouse at the moment
'Nuff respec to Obama for going "screw convention, this shizzle needs speaking about". Could really do with more of this.
I wonder how the orange bawbag will respond.
He made a joke about sleeping through it. Quote of the day apparently.
He wasn’t sleeping, more likely the White House aids are drugging him so he can’t do anything apart from move his thumbs
Afternoon power naps.
I do like Obama’s speech thou saying that’s not how the checks and balances in their democracy works.
Apperently Mueller agreed to a written deposition but Giuliani is now saying that Trump will not answer any questions on obstruction.
Oddly enough I vaguely remember a certain person on a plane really keen to sit down and talk to mueller a while ago.
Plaid shirt mans kinda intreasting thou removed as he wasn’t cheering enough then held by secret security for 10 mins.
As an aside was watching episode 5 of that Vietnam documentary and Mcain was on it in video that showed him being interviewed in a hospital bed by a French reporter when he was held prisoner after being shot down.
I just can’t get how Trump has got away with his jibes against him and the nonsense .
When Trumps dad was paying off the doctor this bloke was bleeding for his country.
I’ve no doubt The Lump wasn’t lying when he said he found the speech “boring” and that he “went to sleep”.
He does, after all, have the attention span of a chihuahua...
Leader of the Free World, asleep on the job at one in the afternoon. Shouldn't he be doing something productive like working on his swing?
To be fair, most of us slept better when Obama was in charge.
That obama speech is an hour long, and its an hour well spent
He does, after all, have the attention span of a chihuahua…
A spokesman for the global chihuahua community demand an apology for that slur, sir!
Leaders of the Free World, just little boys throwing stones...
He's coming up with more fascinating stats. He tweeted
"The GDP rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years".
This was debunked in a response by Fox News (his allies?):
"Since 1948 there have been 63 quarters with a GDP growth rate higher than avg quarterly unemployment rate".
My thought on both these was "what is the value on comparing those two figures"?
I'm no Trump lover but I that's a fairly reasonable comparison the man in the street can grasp I would have thought.
You want the GDP fig has high as you can and the UR low.
Whether real life Economists puts much weight in comparing the two I couldn't say.... But I know some will.
Just another example of a blatant lie that his base will happily swallow without question, dismissing any actual fact checking by the media as "fake news".
If Trump (and dare I say Brexit) has taught us anything it is that lies stick best when they are shouted from the rooftops.
People will call him on it, but that still means people are talking about it, so the underlying message still gets out even though it is fundamentally untrue.

This, my dad was telling me just the other month how Trump had repealed obamacare, thus was 'getting things done'
It's the same trick pulled during Brexit: It didn't matter that the figure on the bus was a demonstrable lie because even those that were disproving it were still talking about sending large amounts of money to Europe, so the message itself was still very effective.
Thinking about it, this means we may have reached the point where telling a blatant lie is actually a more effective way to get your message out than just telling the truth.
If you tell the truth then your opponents won't mention it.
Yes they will. /montypython
Post-truth politics in overdrive as politicians now just openly lie and let social media and the tabloids make them perceived reality.
Same as any other previous means used to control the masses but seems more blatant to those who are 'woke'.
Gets votes and that's all that matters.
Another dignified day for the President remembering those lost on this day 17 years ago...
As we all remember the day he went on a tv phone in to brag how he now had the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.
Utter ******
It's the looks on the faces of the people around that speak volumes (including his wife)
