President Donald Trump dismissed the “bullshit” of the effects of cancel culture as he negotiated with a senator to preserve the name of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee at military installations, according to a recording of a phone conversation given to The New York Times.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) put Trump on speakerphone at an Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., as the men talked politics Wednesday night. The conversation was overheard and recorded by “someone in the room,” the Times reported Thursday.

...according to a recording of a phone conversation given to The New York Times. Sen.

Nice job, Inhofe.
Partisan Media Shills update.
I all my few years, I’ve not seen one man so hated by so many.
In any field, any context.
I think, perhaps, putting the president on speaker phone when he hasn’t specifically requested it is the stupidest thing one could contemplate doing.
And then there’s Sensenbrenner....
Watched that old trainwreck at the Barr unhearing. And then there was that Roby woman.
“Who puts a call with POTUS on speakerphone.”
I agree. The whole thing was a setup so the call could be recorded. The senator is a snake.
Why would Inhoffe put POTUS on a speakerphone in the middle of a restaurant?
Tear down Eisenhower’s statue!/s
Never underestimate the cluelessness of politicians !
Even our conservative politicians !
You need at least one party’s permission, even in Texas. If Inhofe consented to Trump being recorded by a third party, then he’s a dirt bag. If the eavesdropper recorded without even Inhoffe’s permission, he’s a felon.
All the dunces in the world are in confederacy against him. Johnathan Swift identifies that as a sure sign of genius.
That was just embarrassing.
Someone who is trolling and knows the call will be recorded.
Good to see that Unnamed Sources is still alive
Trump should stay off phone.
That’s my last name. If a bird with that name is offensive what about people? Should I re-name myself?
Unlike the leftist South haters here who pretend to be Conservative, President Trump truly gets it. You cannot surrender one single inch of our history to the Maoists. It only feeds their appetite for more. Lee and other Confederates today, Washington and Jefferson and Madison tomorrow.
Yeah that was especially rich coming from Petraeus of all people.
All correct!
Donald J Trump joins another President—Dwight D Eisenhower—in recognizing the greatness of Robert E Lee.
Robert E Lee also saved Washington University in Virginia when he served as its President after the Civil War—its name was changed to Washington and Lee University after his death.
Now some of the faculty—following the misguided 2020 fashion of “cancel culture”—want to remove Lee’s name from the University. Of course, George Washington was much more involved in slavery than Lee, so now the university has a lot more consideration to do:

IMHO, they should leave well enough alone. Hopefully, after just a few years, “cancel culture” will die out, the pandemic will be gone, and Washington and Lee University can go back to being an excellent liberal arts-centered university.
Another illustration BTW of why Kellyanne Conway’s daughter having Tik Tok on her phone was a really BAD idea. Any conversation her mom had with POTUS could have been intercepted by the ChiComs.
Do you believe that [her daughter’s having Tik Tok] on her phone, was by accident or design? The Conway family with the exception of Kellyanne is not known for being Pro Trump.
