Now, I saw the interview. I'm struggling to think of exactly where Trump was "defensive" or for that matter, where F. Upchuck Todd even pushed him or asked a "difficult" question.
Honestly thought Trump did pretty well for the most part. A few rambling answers but I attribute that to not being a professional politician.
In the grand scheme of things, Trump did well in my book and frankly,I liked much of what he said.
Now, I've either completely disconnected from reality, or some Trump fans are just way too sensitive. Not sure which at this point......
How 'bout a 3rd explanation...........
the media distorts, manipulates, obfuscates and fabricates.
