Trump celebrates victory at any cost, even winning by whining
msn ^ | 4/5/2016 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 04/05/2016 8:55:53 PM PDT by Hoodat

"I can only say this: My whole life has been about winning. My whole life," Donald Trump told The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in a free-ranging interview over the weekend. "My life has been about victories. I've won a lot. I win a lot. I win - when I do something, I win. And even in sports, I always won. I was always a good athlete. And I always won. In golf, I've won many club championships. Many, many club championships. And I have people that can play golf great, but they can't win under pressure. So I've always won."

Let's put aside Trump’s myriad failures in life: Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump casinos, a Trump magazine, Trump airlines, etc. It's no surprise Trump talked a lot about winning because he has never stopped talking about winning. On the stump, he says things such as, "We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning. Believe me." He even defends his constant whining as a kind of brilliant strategy for winning: "I keep whining and whining until I win."

That bit is funny, given that his other favorite concept is strength, which is not normally associated with whining. As far as I can tell, he talks about the need for strength a hundred times more than he ever talks about, say, liberty or the Constitution (in the roughly 18,000-word transcript of his Post interview, these phrases appear exactly zero times).

And what's wrong with the interview? Why would it be repulsive to quote from an interview done by Trump?

It is against the rules to bring up anything Donald Trump has said.

I’ve known several people that received a nice start in life that ended up losing it. I believe most of us are aware of Trump’s business success.

Goldberg got his start off his mother’s somewhat sleazy career. Jonah started out well because he was able to take stage because of his mother and Linda Tripp’s relationship. He has pretty much been irrelevant ever since.

Fifteen frikkin “I” s in a span of one simple paragraph. I don’t know about you but I don’t take well to being governed by someone who is clinically convinced he is God’s gift to the world.

Trumpkins are idiotic, you don’t have to reaffirm this publicly.

You are so screwed up. She did that GQ before she met trump. You are a dick!!!!!!
********************************************

That is completely false. The photo shoot was set up by Trump on his plane to promote himself when he was deciding to run as president. He pimped his then girlfriend so he could get a GQ interview for himself. It shows that he thinks of her as a piece of meat, and she let herself be used like one too.

Read the whole disgusting interview for yourself.

Goldberg creeps me out. And he will never be the success that Trump is.

I will certainly not vote for Goldberg come primary time in my state.

I haven't liked it for the last eight years and certainly won't like it for another four.

Because the interview is five days old. Trump has changed since then. He told us so.

The interview was five days ago.

That's 4-1/2 days past the expiration date.

Trump started dating Melania in 1998.

He divorced Marla in 1999.
