During an interview with POLITICO’s Glenn Thrush, NBC’s Chuck Todd pondered some of the more striking observations he has made about Donald Trump after covering the mogul as much as he has.
The wide-range interview covered a variety of topics, but when the president-elect came up, Todd said there were a few ticks he noticed about Trump where “[It] drives me crazy.” According to Todd, Trump is so concerned about his visual image that he will frequently watch clips of himself with the sound off.
Todd quoted a source close to Trump who said that whenever the mogul finishes an interview, he’ll ask about how he looked, but not as much about how he sounded or what he said.
“The amount of time he spends after the interview is over with the sound off — he wants to see what it all looked like. He will watch the whole thing on mute,” said Todd. “He’s a very, visual guy. He thinks this way, and look, it’s an important insight in just understanding him. The visual stuff is very real beyond just himself.”
Hey look, there is something that I have in common with Donald Trump.
I also turn off the sound when I see him on TV.
Maybe he hates the sound of his voice as much as I do.
The article suggests that the reason might be based on advice that Roger Ailes gave him as he used to also watch potential hosts give interviews with the sound off. Probably so he could imagine them saying things like "Oh Roger it's so big," or " I find a man with six chins and the body of Jabba the Hut to be such a turn on."
Personally I think it is because Trump is more concerned about the camera capturing an unflattering image of him, like this one:
Or this one:
Which of course explains every interview and tweet he has ever sent.
Normally I wouldn't denigrate someone because of their appearance but he's ghastly in all ways ... physically and in terms of his character ... a truly disgusting POS.
ReplyDeleteI am in total agreement!
DeleteHe LOVES himself. Can not get enough of himself. Ivanka comes in second to himself.
DeleteHe's truly mentally off if he actually finds himself attractive. Good God Almighty! He's the most repulsive male/boy figure in the nation!
DeleteA trust ugly man.
DeleteThen why hasn't he noticed that his tie is 8 inches too long?
ReplyDeleteIt hangs over his belt, covering up his belly hanging down over the belt. He thinks he is fooling everyone.
DeleteYeah. If he wore his belt shorter, it would jut out so much from his belly. He has to have it go long so that it has a chance to un-jut a bit.
DeleteHe's doing the long tie so we can't see his dong and guess it's size! Damn, but the guy gives me the absolute willies!!!
DeleteOMG, he is so fucking ugly, and that last pic makes me almost vomit. He wants to see what he looks like. He makes it a point. He must like what he sees b/c he's done nothing to lose weight and try lifting any of that fat through exercise. He must think that Melania loves being close to all those many pounds of fat. Maybe she sucks on his neck meat because there's nothing down below for a blow job.
ReplyDeleteEewww! Exactly!
DeleteI doubt he has had sex with his wife in YEARS. Rumor has it she is in love with a model (female) in NY. A European one.
DeleteYeah, I doubt it, although once in a while he probably puts his hand on his pants zipper and nods and she crawls over and gives the obligatory bj. Then she goes off to her private quarters and brushes her teeth twice.
DeleteBetcha there is zero sex for Donald. First off he can't get it up and secondly he can't find it in his rolls of fat!
DeleteGod, he would be gross naked!
My Dog, he looks like a very ugly old woman. There is nothing remotely manly about him at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the imbecile is tweeting a mocking of CNN and NBC and praising Fox. Yesterday it was many hours before Fox even reported anything on the hacking retribution. They didn't report it because it wasn't pro-Trump, plus we KNOW they had to work at finding someone with any knowledge who could handle the story. He again sounds like a punkass kid in his tweeting. I so wish the press could say F-you and ignore Trump completely. But of course they can't. Oh, and of course Fox was rewarded by being let inside Mar a Lago's gates yesterday to show a golden room that will be used for the inauguration ball. All other times no one's gotten in, and Trump has stepped outside the gate to say anything. With the gold room always lit up behind him, natch.
ReplyDeleteSecurity for this orange blob will make the National debt skyrocket. Is he really worth it??
DeleteNot worth it at all. It's sick that so many millions are being wasted on keeping Melania and delicate Barron so happy.
DeleteI think that's for the gaudy New Year's Eve party...I doubt he's leaving DC on Jan. 20.
DeleteEasy for Todd to say as he did nothing but "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP" from the get go.
ReplyDeleteComplacent in this shit storm. All of them.
Chuck Todd was one in the media that built up Trump and now he wants to take him down via the same method?
DeleteChuck Todd is one in the media that should be replaced asap as should Trump - via impeachment!
Add Morning Joe crew to that list.
DeleteUnwatchable.
Morning Joe is so without any merit at all. How he got that job and why anyone watches or listens to anything he says is beyond my comprehension. Remember his history in Pensacola FL? It was not pretty, with a dead intern, some other unsavory news items and his very sudden departure from the area and very seldom return. He is not liked in this part of FL at all.

ReplyDeleteShe and her transgender sister Juliet attend the same high school as my teens. Jackie and her parents have been extremely supportive of Juliet and LGBTQ issues - Can't imagine that they support Trump and the GOP.
Let's see, on one hand:
Fame, notoriety and make money
On the other hand, stand up for her sister
Hmmm, 2nd place America's Got Talent Jackie Evancho did what Sarah Palin would do, she picked:
Fame, notoriety and make money over family and principles
The singer should wear a button or something in support of her sister and other transgenders when up on stage.
DeleteShe's only sining the National Anthem. No one will be watching. No one of any import will be there, unless Putin flies over for the coronation.
DeleteTrump is such a fucking creep. Ugly as sin too! Will NEVER be my potus!
ReplyDeleteI so hope he has a major stroke or heart attack. Fear his running our country and want the opportunity stopped before he takes the oath of office to which he'll never abide!
Tell me about it. I want him dead. Seriously. Every day I hope for word of a fatal heart attack. He is a danger to this country.
DeleteGross! That thing below his mouth in the bottom picture, did they photoshop an old man's ballsack onto his side profile?
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's a Hatchimal egg under there.
DeleteExcept consumer complaints after Christmas Day that, for all the hoopla, Hatchimals don't hatch. He looks like a pelican, no offense to the species. Fat Bastard in Austin Powers movies?
Delete" whenever the mogul finishes an interview, he’ll ask about how he looked, but not as much about how he sounded or what he said."
ReplyDeleteThe fact that this doesn't seem to scare the shit out of the "source" is truly beyond sanity.
Why is everybody so shocked by the bromance reach-arounds Trump has been giving broski Putin?
ReplyDeleteAny man who would say this about his daughter is up for anything:
“I don’t think Ivanka would do that [pose for nude photographs] inside the magazine,” Trump says, speaking for his daughter. “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.”

"auditioning?" Says it all, doesn't it. The US Cabinet is now some reality show to Trump, who is 'auditioning' people for what used to be very serious, demanding jobs. Now he's hiring Goldman Sachs, Exxon, and unqualified people in every spot, and most of them despise their agencies. Nice. Ryan won't even have to worry about that bathtub when Trump is done. The US will just be gone.

It's got to be because 1) he can't read well and 2) even he can't understand what he says.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Beaglemom, your comments are always right on!
DeleteI second that!
DeleteImagine if Trump wasn't wearing a tie. With his grossly fat neck, his shirt top button would shoot off like a Tomahawk Cruise Missle.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Ivanka is attracted to her father or she just puts up with those strange father/daughter pictures and his lewd comments about her on the View so he will favor her in his will over Melania and her brothers? What will Tiffany's share will be?
ReplyDeleteThe 'daddy's girl' attachment plays out in more families than most would guess. Once worked with a beautiful but bawdy young woman who loved to tell how she and her sister as teens walked around naked in the house. It would arouse their dad and put him in a real good mood so they could talk him into buying them things or let them stay out past their curfew. She said she had never had sex with him but had given him a blow job. I kept my distance after hearing that as it gave me the creeps being around someone like that.
DeleteI think it's all about the money. Ivanka does not want to see her share of the loot taken away from her so she'll do whatever Papa Trump wants. No one in this family has any sense of values.
DeleteBeaglemom
America did not vote for a rigger.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Grif! He is all about the surface-he has no idea what he says. Witness all the occasions when a reported has quoted something, verbatim , that he's said and he's all like "I never said that". And the media just lets him flow with that bullshit.
ReplyDelete"Ahhh, I've got my pants off already," Stern groaned.
ReplyDeleteDropping his voice, Stern asked about how often Melania and Trump had sex and how good it was. "We have a great, great time," she said

Mother Jones:
The Trump Files: Donald and Melania's Creepy, Sex-Filled Interview With Howard Stern
...But that didn't stop Candidate Trump from going on Howard Stern's radio show and putting his then-girlfriend and now-wife Melania on air with the host for a bizarre, creepy, and totally misogynistic interview about life and sex with Trump.
When Trump called in to Stern's show on November 9, 1999, the conversation turned to Melania ("a potential first lady," Trump said) and her looks. "Let me talk to that broad in your bed," Stern demanded. So Trump summoned Melania, who was apparently scantily clad and conveniently sitting nearby, to come to the phone. With Stern oozing his creepiest charm, things rapidly got weird.
After demanding that Melania "put on your hottest outfit" for a Stern-Trump night on the town, Stern asked Melania what she was wearing right then. "Uh, not much," she replied.
Stern pressed on: "Are you naked? Are you nude?" Melania laughed. "Almost," she said.
"Ahhh, I've got my pants off already," Stern groaned.
Dropping his voice, Stern asked about how often Melania and Trump had sex and how good it was. "We have a great, great time," she said, claiming that she and Donald did the deed "even more" than daily. "I can tell you need love," Stern told her. Other topics of the interview included whether Melania stole cash from Trump's wallet, what she wore to the beach, and her "very nice chest for a model."
Trump apparently had no problems with Stern's racy questioning of his then girlfriend. "Oh man, she's naked there, isn't she?" Stern asked when Trump got back on the phone. "She is actually naked," Trump said. "It's a thing of beauty."
In a version of the interview clipped by BuzzFeed News, Stern begged Trump to have sex with Melania on air to boost his ratings. "Wouldn't that be nice?" Trump replied. Someone in Stern's studio then launched into a crude impression of Melania having sex with Trump. "Please, Donald, don't put it there!" he cried in a fake accent as Stern's crew—and Trump—collapsed into laughter. The New York Post also reported that, during the interview, Trump told Stern he frequently "mentally" felt up Melania in public.

I watch the ornage anus' interviews with the sound off too. I can't stand his voice and usually stop watching after less than a minute cause I can't stand his sphincter mouth either.

ReplyDelete#notmypresident
OK...so I can't dispute what he says...i.e. he watches his interviews with the sound off. My question is why the hell does he continue to make such gruesome, awful faces and grimaces if it's true that his biggest concern is how he looks. Frankly, like shite...big fat belly, orange skin, multiple double chins, weird little hands and hand motions, and finally...how the hell anyone can describe that really fucked up hair of his!
ReplyDeleteI suspect we're just wasting our time even thinking about it. The crazy SOB is simply just batshit crazy and a lot of our fellow US citizens fell for his bs.
God that last pic is a SHOCKER.
ReplyDeleteThose last couple of pics show that he actually grew FATTER during the year. Now, he does not just have a double chin, but one YUUUUGE one (can'5 even call it a triple chin!)
ReplyDeleteHI quad chins must weigh 80 pounds.
ReplyDeleteThat blob under his mouth needs it's own country code.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! Is that last photo of a pelican?
ReplyDeleteOf course, pelicans are much better looking and much more lovable.
Please, everyone, for the love of our country, circulate the top picture of Drumpf of the three listed! It is said that *that* one, in particular, drives him CRAZY! He HATESHATESHATES that picture! When he called all the news organizations and journalists in for the 'dressing down' at Trump Tower, he screamed in particular about the use of that image...so spread it broad and wide...drive Trumplethinskin NUTS!!! His ego is his Achilles heel!!!
