Matt Lauer to Trump: Could You Be Exaggerating America's Problems To Get Elected? (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | October 26, 2015 | RealClearPolitics

MATT LAUER, "TODAY" SHOW: I went back and read from your book, The Art of The Deal. You wrote this: 'I play to people's fantasies. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration and a very effective form of promotion.' Would it be fair to say that that describes your campaign to date?

What a sleazy guy Matt Lauer is. Master propagandist.

Trump will not solve every problem, but Matt Lauer just makes everything worse.

He asked this because no politician has ever used the same tactic, right?

I actually had a Lib (former) friend say that Stephanopoulos was unbiased and would be a good journalist. Even after I pointed out his Clinton ties......she didn’t look perplexed until I asked if Karl Rove would be considered an unbiased journalist, if hired at one of the alphabet networks. Of course not! Why would anyone think a REPUBLICAN could be unbiased? (the last two sentences were not actually said, but I could see the little cog wheels turning in her brain)

When did he ask Barack Obama that question?

Its a good one if applied equally and fairly to all political parties and candidates.

Yes. There's also "good nekkid" and "bad nekkid".

This is very bad nekkid.

When the MSM admits Barack Obama with Hillary Clinton covered up the Benghazi terrorist attack, that killed a US Ambassador and 3 other US citizens, with their video lie for pure political reasons, 6 weeks before the 2012 Presidential Election, then I’ll re-evaluate my low opinion of them.

One cannot exaggerate the problems our country faces. They’re worse.

More States now have “shall issue” or “constitutional” concealed carry laws than in 2008. More people own guns now than did in 2008. More people are now trained in shooting than were in 2008.
Food for thought ...

I love good news!
Hilariously, I don't think Obungo is about to "trump" that as one of his historic accomplishments.

The good news, such as it is, is that we have been able to advance the cause of liberty in some of the several States. Fedzilla has been an unmitigated disaster. And that's why your tagline is appropriate.

He also asked him if he’s good for kids to hear, because they are being taught not to bully and you use words like stupid... and you refer to people’s characteristics in a negative way... are you good for kids Mr. Trump? No quotes, I’m going from memory...

Trump diffused the question and hit him with facts and what the real issues are-— rather impressive turning the gotchya question to what is really going on in the nation.

Like Obama wasn’t appealing to peoples fantasies? Heck the lieberals even had children singing “Obama’s gonna change the world”.... mission accomplished you deluded lieberals.
At least Trump is a man of accomplishments unlike the smooth talking charlatan one.

When Trump started laying out specific details in response you could see the fear in lauer’s eyes

Did you notice the applause increased throughout segment. Also, people were smiling!
