Donnie did an interview with the New York Times this morning – the failing New York Times as he genially calls it. I wonder why he bothers giving interviews to failing newspapers. I think I would stick to nonfailing newspapers if I were prezeedent.
The interview is as stupid as you’d expect, and stupider. I wonder what it’s like being Maggie Haberman or Glenn Thrush and trying to ask him questions as if he were a reasonable adult.
President Trump said on Wednesday that he thought that the former national security adviser Susan E. Rice may have committed a crime by seeking the identities of Trump associates who were mentioned on intercepted communications and that other Obama administration officials may also have been involved.
See what I mean? He just casually says that stupid shit as if it were normal.
“I think it’s going to be the biggest story,” Mr. Trump said in an interview in the Oval Office, declining repeated requests for evidence for his allegations or the names of other Obama administration officials. “It’s such an important story for our country and the world. It is one of the big stories of our time.”
It’s as if they’d interviewed a toddler. They solemnly quote his ridiculous babbling, because they have to.
Mr. Trump criticized media outlets, including The New York Times, for failing to adequately cover the Rice controversy — while singling out Fox News and the host Bill O’Reilly for praise, despite reports this week that the veteran conservative commentator settled five lawsuits filed by women claiming sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. The president then went on to defend Mr. O’Reilly, who has hosted him frequently over the years.
“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person,” said Mr. Trump…
“I think he shouldn’t have settled; personally I think he shouldn’t have settled,” said Mr. Trump. “Because you should have taken it all the way. I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.”
Of course he doesn’t. He thinks big shouty rude men have an absolute right to sexually assault women.

Now there’s a clear executive mind at work! Note the air quotes?
He’s got a low bar for… pretty much everything. I can think of lots of stories that would stand a much better chance of being “one of the big stories of our time.”
Is it just my faulty memory or did Mr ‘shouldn’t have settled’ himself settle a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him for sexual harassment just prior to becoming Baby Boss?
Quite possibly, but the settlement I imagine recalling is the one concerning the DA in Florida about the fake uni.
Yes I think the fake university suit is the only one he settled right after the election.
Of course! It was my faulty memory.
