President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

There's no such thing as accidental collusion.

 

Government contract?

#FakeNews.

 

I’m going to channel Sarah Palin and say “Um, all of them.”

 

Sorry, campaign funds or whatever. I was defending your Trumps there. Lighten up.

 

Also not campaign funds.

Try one more time.

 

Whatever the fuck it was, I don’t care.

But nice vigor on your part.

 

Spot on.

Are the Democrats and the media helping the Russians to achieve their goals by accident, or on purpose?

 

LOL. Who cares about the facts, right?

 

Certainly not Donald Trump.

Accuracy and a command of the facts may not be the angle to take when trying to defend him.

The most vigorous disinformation campaign being run against Donald Trump is being run by Donald Trump.

 

No, I don’t care that this woman got X dollars from Y account controlled by the Trumps.

Also, ironic a Trumpist is lecturing about facts. You should give the Donald a few condescending LOLs while you’re at it, given how he doesn’t care about the facts.

 

I'm not sure sessions like this are super productive for the press.

As he's done for years with Page 6 or the National Enquirer, he presents an obsessive series of colorful non sequiturs in service of promoting his brand. Great for Howard Stern. But any actual information gleaned is nearly incidental.

I think press conferences are a much better mechanism for getting at a politician's command of the issues and holding him or her to what they've said and done in the past.

They are by nature more adversarial.

 

A reminder from history: The existence of Nixon's tapes didn't become public until 13 months after the break-in and more than two years after the system was first employed.
