Donald J. Trump is often seen at rallies or on reality television or across from a journalist. But on Friday, a Washington judge made public video showing Mr. Trump in a far more subdued setting: the deposition room.
The video shows Mr. Trump, in a black suit and blue tie, sitting in an nondescript law office in June answering questions in his suit against Geoffrey Zakarian, a celebrity chef who backed out of Mr. Trump’s new hotel development at the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington. Mr. Trump is also suing another chef, José Andrés, who backed out of another restaurant.
The chefs pulled out after Mr. Trump made incendiary comments last year about Mexican immigrants as he announced his presidential campaign. Mr. Trump said Mexico was sending people with “problems” — “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
He is suing the companies associated with Mr. Zakarian and Mr. Andrés for breach of contract.
In the deposition, Mr. Trump sat for about 100 minutes, often with his arms folded and sometimes swaying in his chair. He answered questions about the contracts with the chefs and about his remarks on Mexicans, telling Mr. Zakarian’s lawyer, Deborah Baum, that he had been misinterpreted by the news media, which he called “very dishonest.”
“All I’m doing is bringing up a situation which is very real, about illegal immigration,” he said during the deposition. “And I think, you know, most people think I’m right.”

TRUMP/Pence - 2016
Consider this in your voting decision-making process

Donald Trump is being ripped apart in the news, the mainstream media, and the liberal left nonstop for being a private American citizen like most of us. Yet Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the criminals occupying our government are not.
The mainstream media is the Democratic Party. Stop listening to them and allowing them to influence your thinking with their Goebbels-Stalinist-Alinskyite propaganda. Stop being brainwashed, and start thinking for yourself, as an individual, as a private citizen, as a concerned American – about the Constitution, your country, your and your family’s and your children’s future, about America.

What about her crimes? What about her bribes for uranuium sales to Russia and thousands more. How did she amass $170 million in 7 years. Why is she a serial liar. Why did she lie about Benghazi? Why was Stevens in Bengahzi. So many questions for jounalism — But they smear this great man? How exposed are they as lacking any credibility.
When a lib hears the term “illegal immigrant” its brain registers only the word “immigrant” and its tongue reacts spasmodically.
Why is a judge making a deposition in a private case public?
It should only be released after the decision.
Where is the civil deposition of Mills, Jake Sullivan and Humma Weiner— I want those deposition!! This deposition says nothing at all. Bring the depositions about the SERVER! abnf the criminal emails!!
And NeverTrumpers insist that Trump couldn’t be more wrong on everything he stands for.
Screw you, NeverTrumpers!

Trump was the only candidate running who was squarely on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
He did win the nomination because of that.
The citizens have been denied the opportunity to elect anyone as President who would enforce the laws and borders.
There has been a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws for 30 years.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
C’mon all you techies out there! Is there any one of you with the chops to hack the NYT? C’mon, show your stuff and hack these Crony-Capitalist shills who work for Wall Street and the Multi-National Banks!
Yet Hillary’s ‘interview” with the FBI wasn’t taped.
Who is the largest shareholder/pimp of the Old Gray Whore?
Carlos Slim.
Your days are numbered amigo. We’re taking our country back.
Here’s the kind of piece you could post that’s NOT a barf:
“In Hacked Fundraiser Recording, Hillary Mocks Bernie Supporters “Living In Their Parents’ Basement”
“It is important to recognize what’s going on in this election. Everybody who’s ever been in an election that I’m aware of is quite bewildered because there is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates. And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel. So as a friend of mine said the other day, I am occupying from the center-left to the center-right. And I don’t have much company there. Because it is difficult when you’re running to be president, and you understand how hard the job is — I don’t want to overpromise. I don’t want to tell people things that I know we cannot do.”

Where Hillary plays liberals and progressives for fools:

Well said, Gramps. We all must seek out alternate news sources and get the actual news from as close to the source as possible. FreeRepublic is a Godsend.
Zakarian is such a fag! He eats contestants’ food as if he’s being poisoned. Trump is well rid of him.
“Well said, Gramps. We all must seek out alternate news sources and get the actual news from as close to the source as possible. FreeRepublic is a Godsend.”
Amen! Which is why all of us who care about America and our families should be monthly donors to FR.
I don’t watch Faux News or ABCNNBCBS nor read any so called Newspapers or news magazines.
We have stopped watching our local tv stations for news due to their 24/7 shots at Trump since labor day.
I do go to one of the local tv news websites for news at local levels and sometimes to Faux’s website which sometimes still has some real non anti Trump news.
Articles posted on FR, often are interesting enough to go to those websites for more data.
I thought Trump seemed very professional during the deposition (which is up in full on YouTube). I think it will help him with people worried about his temperament. Some of the bozos on CNN were talking about this “controversial” footage, but they couldn’t find anything real to hit him with. The “controversy” was his statement about “rapists” from last year. They must be desperate.
