After delivering a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump did a brief question-and-answer sessions with WEF Chair Klaus Schwab. The second and final question Trump fielded was about what experiences he had earlier in his life that he thinks prepared him for the presidency.
Trump’s response was not well received. First, he bragged about his business acumen and claimed he’s “always been successful at making money” — comments that elicited laughter for the crowd. But the laughs escalated to boos after Trump took aim at the “fake news” media.
“The other thing is, I’ve always seemed to get — for whatever reason — a disproportionate amount of press or media,” Trump began. “And throughout my whole life — someone will explain someday why — but I’ve always gotten a lot. And as a businessman I was always treated really well by the press. You know, the numbers speak and things happen, but I’ve always really had a very good press, and it wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be — as the cameras start going off in the back.”
The crowd then erupted in boos. Which you can clearly hear on the video.
Apparently after Trump realized this was not one of his rallies he tried to walk it back.Foreign journos sitting next to me booed Trump's attack on the press.— Ishaan Tharoor (@ishaantharoor) January 26, 2018
But it was really too late.
By the way the reason that Trump received coverage by the press is because he sought it out constantly.
Remember when Trump pretended to be his own press agent?
Were any of us expecting different?

What an embarrassment.
You are so right 1:40! I'm cringing through that video.
DeleteHe got there after all the important issues were already mentioned and voted on. Just made a TV-Diva entrance, (un)fashionably late (the day before the end), and was not even on topic, just tried to pull the wool over everybody's eyes about MAGA and giving a small concession that all other countries should do great, too, not just the US. Then he immediately flew the coup again.
ReplyDeleteCost US how many MILLIONS of $$$??? And how many extra for Switzerland?
Because he doesn't know JACK.
DeleteYou stated it!
DeleteMan what a loser!
Why should Americans care what people who go to Davos think? They may have booed but they’re very happy with the way his policies are making them even more obscenely rich. They like him just fine - all craning their necks to see “ the world’s biggest celebrity”. Trump and Davos Man deserve each other.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to educate yourself. You sound like a fool.

"The study indicates that 35 percent of Generation Z teens considered themselves to be atheist, agnostic or not affiliated with any religion. By comparison, only 30 percent of millenials, 30 percent of Generation X and 26 percent of Baby Boomers said the same.
The study shows that almost twice as many teens in Generation Z (13 percent) claimed to be atheist than millenials (7 percent).
In the Barna survey, a third of youth pastors say their biggest struggle is “undoing” what the world teaches teens.

ReplyDeleteIt's great seeing/hearing him get booed (by Europeans too!). More and more crowds should do the same. The jerk needs to be impeached!
ReplyDeleteGod, I detest hearing him brag about himself. So, so many lies too! How many times did he declare bankruptcy as a business man? But, he always says what a successful business man he is! Give me a friggin' break! He's a lyin' sack of ca-ca!
6-6-6 bankrupt filings...
DeleteC'mon, Gryphen, dont play dumb.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of "You know, the numbers speak and things happen," don't you understand?
That's the kind of quiet eloquence that just spontaneously dribbles off the tongue of our beloved leader.
I predict that someday the words "You know, the numbers speak and things happen," (along with "shithole") will be chiseled into the stately stucco and recycled concrete wall of the lavish $50,000 Drumpf Presidential Library already planned for a current SuperFund site along the docks in South Aynul, New Jersey.
The important people didn't even wait around for Trump on the last day. I'm guessing it was pretty much the media on expenses that were still there.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if my friend the globe-trotting international correspondent had even been in Davos because he is in London today covering Julian Assange's hearing, and Brett is always where the news is.
Ooooooh 'Brett'! Globetrotting international correspondent!

So the multiple bankruptcies and stiffing the people who did the work is part of your money making business acumen? What a dishonest slimy toad.

DeleteHaha good one previous posts

WOW.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I've been saying with respect to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe—that he was targeted because he's a witness against Trump—but Foreign Policy now reveals that it's part of a broader scheme Trump himself devised to obstruct justice and tamper with witnesses.

Dammit if the last paragraph of this breaking news doesn't imply that the Trump administration deliberately burned our allies in Dutch intelligence to help save Russian hackers from continued Western surveillance.

Paul Ryan Is the Silent Partner in Trump’s War on the Rule of Law
ReplyDelete...A side effect of Nunes’s campaign to discredit Trump’s investigators is to threaten to burn down the credibility and effectiveness of federal law enforcement. Here is the point that is largely absent from this drama: This is all happening because Paul Ryan wants it to happen.
Ryan’s role in the Trump administration’s ongoing destruction of governing norms has been largely invisible, but it is vital.

What Happens to Trump If He Fires Robert Mueller?
ReplyDelete...Whatever the Russia investigation finds, and whatever Trump does to quash it, or protect himself and his family, or pervert the FBI to rough up his political opponents, the dynamic that has protected him will remain in place. Trump will be popular among the Republican base. Republicans will need their base in order to hold Congress and protect their agenda. The alternative to Trump will always be a party that is left of center. Republicans may genuinely hope Trump does not fire Mueller. They may even wish that he would resign in favor of Mike Pence. But whatever he does, as long as he occupies the presidency, he will be their man.

Sounds like he is snorting a lot again,so much for excellent health.
ReplyDeleteHis handlers medicate him heavily anytime he needs to perform on primetime. Not sure what they give him hut it is a definite pattern. Then sgain, sniffing can be from not taking opioids. Maybe he is abstinent for prime time on opioids snd gets cocaine for these shows?
DeleteWas this an interview or clip from a new sitcom,cuz i heard a laugh track?
ReplyDeleteI think everyone was laughing at him since he wasn't saying anything funny.

ReplyDeleteWe have a President who bitches about the American press at the World Economic Forum what a total baffoon! And why cant that asshole ever sit up sraight!He always slouches over like he wants to order a big mack from McDonalds and while he's at it he should get rid of the fat pouches under his eyes i am sure Melania's plastic surgeon could do it.
What a slob, a cheap suit made in China, a too long tie and i bet his hairspray smells like rogain and hair dye.
I see he is wearing a cheap American flag pin to play to his witless base. Meanwhile his suits are made in China and they look like it.
ReplyDeletelisten to his use of the plural present tense, he himself is removed, something else is the plural tense and it is not his cabinet.
ReplyDeleteHe's got pigs in his parlor. he is not his own man, he is possessed. The problem in his spiritual structure is they don't communicate well as a house divided against itself.
These things are physically damaging his brain because it is a very unnatural take-over and the result on simpler minds like those of pigs is they go insane immediately and kill themselves because that is about all the damage that can be done with them.
His brain is rotted out and the competition for control of it is right out front in full display. This will not end well for him.
