As usual, the media didn’t give the full story on the Dingell quote. Here it is from Rush’s show:
Transcript of Trump Comments:
THE PRESIDENT: Debbie Dingell, thats a real beauty. I gave the A-plus treatment. She calls me up. Its the nicest thing thats ever happened, thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. Hes looking down, hed be so thrilled. Thank you so much, sir.
I said, Thats okay, dont worry about it. Maybe hes looking up, I dont know.
CROWD: (laughter)
THE PRESIDENT: I dont know. Maybe? Maybe? But lets assume hes looking down.
BACKGROUND Ignored by the media (From Rush Limbaugh Show)
Trump goes out of his way to give John Dingell an official farewell funeral. John Dingells wife, Debbie, calls him and thanks him profusely. He did something nice, he swept away all partisanship. He gave em the full state funeral.
And whatd they do? They used it to rip him. He engaged in an act of respect for her husband, John Dingell, who was not a nice guy. Trump goes out of his way to give Debbie Dingell what she wants, a nice funeral.
Trump loves doing nice things for people, and he doesnt want never ending appreciation, gratitude, and thanks, but its like hes always said, if you hit him, if you come back and attack him, hes not gonna sit there and take it. So privately she tells him how wonderful it was and how appreciative she is. Publicly she goes and joins chorus about what a reprobate he is and how he deserves to be impeached and how hes violating the Constitution and everything.
What people may know and have forgotten, Trump was on Fox News once with Bill OReilly. And during that appearance, Trump reiterated that he wouldnt want to be in a foxhole with McCain. So John Dingell tweeted, On behalf of so many of my fellow veterans, please take two running jumps and go to hell, Mr. Trump.
Reagan tells a story of how he just gets to DC and his Chief of Staff Howard Baker welcomes him and says he would be with him through thick.
Reagan asked him what about and thin?
Baker says, welcome to Washington.
Chris Wallace is a worthless POS!
