the end part of Trump's quote was " I’m very happy it’s being exposed."
like.....did you hear how that sounded coming out of...y'know what I'm done.

Trump: "He is in total denial" I'm sure trump didn't mean this the way it actually reads.

Uh he didn’t really, he felt the need to point out the women he molested were Trump voters
― frogbs, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link
yes but he didn’t go off on a tear about how LeBron hates America or something. If it was a rally instead of a press conference I suppose it would have gotten really weird.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 01:11 (six years ago) link
xp that's relevant. he's suggesting that the allegations aren't true. "I do have to say" is the reversal from the first sentiment - it's been a long time and many races and it has never come up before now, and all the women are trump voters (ideologically motivated). i think "All you can do is you have to do what you have to do" means despite not really believing it he feels like he is obligated to use it to make political hay.

The Trump White House tried to block public access to visitor logs of five federal offices working directly for the president even though they were subject to public disclosure through the Freedom of Information Act. Property of the People, a Washington-based transparency group, successfully sued the administration to release the data and provided the documents to ProPublica. You can search them below.

Despite Kushner’s efforts to project confidence about Robert Mueller’s probe, he expressed worry after the indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates about how far the investigation could go. “Do you think they’ll get the president?” Kushner asked a friend, according to a person briefed on the conversation.

It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2017
...LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2017

the idea of him coming back from golfing or the spa or whatever and composing a tweet about "big meetings!" or "very important meetings!" really betrays a venal, casual and i guess juvenile mixture of disregard and contempt for his role which would be amusing if it wasn't so worrying.

See, I disagree; I read it as desperate insecurity and a massive inferiority complex. He knows he's a piece of shit, he knows he's not up to the job, but he's certainly not going to let everyone else know he knows it, so he bluffs. "I'm doing very important work!" Meanwhile, he's running off to the golf course for a few hours' relief from the reality of his own incompetence.

― Simon H., Wednesday, 22 November 2017 16:07 (six years ago) link
the golf thing, and the compulsion to visit his own resorts, is pretty fuckin weird. it reminds me of how hugh hefner would only ever stay in his own mansion or at "playboy clubs" that he had built in various cities. what does he derive from this? is there a weird compulsion we don't know about? does he not "trust" the white house in some way?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 22 November 2017 16:08 (six years ago) link
my questions, Simon, to clarify, are less about psychoanalysis and more about purely salacious gossip-mongering. there should be vicious, tawdry rumours about what he does at these clubs
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 22 November 2017 16:09 (six years ago) link
