Whenever Donald Trump's outbursts or "exaggerations" are too much for people to stomach, he'll just say he meant something else - or that he's a "showman."
If his history doesn't match up with the persona he wants, he'll just blame it on being a businessman, or that it's a lie, or that someone is out to get him.
Last night on Greta's show:
Greta Van Susteren pointed out that Trump told her in 2012, “Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman ... I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard ... I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.”
Trump explained that at the time it was his obligation as a businessman to get along well with everybody.
“I’m not going to say bad things about major politicians in this country when I’m running a major company where I need things,” Trump said. “I have international trade, I have international businesses. I’m not going to go around saying bad things about people.”...
“Donald Trump didn’t mean any harm when he criticized fellow GOP 2016 presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s face. He says he was just being the showman he is.
“Many of those comments are made as an entertainer because I did The Apprentice and it was one of the top shows on television,” he told Greta Van Susteren on Thursday night. “Some comments are made as an entertainer and as everybody said, as an entertainer is a much different ball game.”
I really hope you get some sleep at some point.
Your Trump obsession seems almost unhealthy.
Meh, going too far HELPS him.
Godzilla LIKES being electrocuted.
Pull out all the stops!
I love it.
I don’t care about Carly’s face. John Fund is a Wall Street toady.
Ridiculous. It was clear from day one he was a stone cold America hating Marxist, motivated by a racist grudge against white people.
I sleep just fine.
My “obsession” is not having a liberal, narcissist running on the GOP ticket and putting Hillary in the White House to finish us off.
I’ll give you 2 reasons why I know Donald Trump finds it easy and appropriate to lie. (Current history - I’ll leave the long, documented list of his liberal ideological positions aside for this exercise, along with Trump’s long, documented list of his support for elected Democrat leaders.)
1. He publicly lied (more than once despite it having been proven a lie) that Wisconsin was doing poorly and that it was because of Scott Walker.
2. He publicly lied about a Walker supporter coming to him asking to take him on to his campaign because he wanted to leave Walker.
Trump made my mind up for me when he answered a question about faith by saying, “I’ve never felt the need to ask for God’s forgiveness. I forgive myself when I screw up”, or words very much to that effect. Arrogance that blatant has no place in a leadership role as crucial as the Presidency. We have that right now, and it’s not working.
I would think you could give your Trump Derangement Syndrome a rest on a day like today. But no.
Trump hand wringing bump.
“In the World of Trump: John McCain wasn’t a war hero because he was captured, but Donald Trump was “in the military in the true sense” because he went to the New York Military Academy.”
Did you divorce Cincinatus and marry NickCarraway?
None of that worked. How has it helped old bland Baldy?
Trump: “You know, it really doesn`t matter what (the media) write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of %ss.”
Here is a real lie about Walker. He is polling at 50%.
You see no red flags with Trump?
Are you confusing this with...this ?
Oof: Chairman of Rick Perry’s Iowa campaign quits — and joins Team Trump
Thanks for keeping the facts and record straight about this fraud. He is to conservatism what Obama is to patriotism.
Do you have any idea how many POWs there were from the Vietnam era? Care to tell us how many of them received the Silver Star just for being captured? Care to recall how John McCain insulted the families of MIA during his Vietnam healing phase? Care to recall how many time this maverick stabbed patriots in the back?
McCain was a POW nothing more, he survived, heros didn't.
Except that the S&P 500 index is not just some unmanaged natural phenomenon, it's the accumulated performance of top businessmen like Trump. The Donald just happens to be the one industry leader with high enough profile, charisma, and inclination to take on being POTUS; the others are largely capable of the job as well, they just don't want to.
It's amazing that John "I got my old girlfriend's daughter pregnant" Fund was able to write the phrase going too far without flinching.
