Just saw the new Crazy Phil Leonetti interview, Trump only mentioned in passing in regard to Trump buying an Atlantic City club from Scarfo. Says he didn't deal with him personally at the time, but Trump had 'made a statement, "those guys are stupid, I would have paid twice as much for that building", you know how he is'
As President he's 'not doing such a great job'.
Not much to add to public record, and not many left yet to comment on that time now.

The “Noble Prize” tweetstorm, deletion, and “I was being sarcastic, duh” finale was pretty funny. Nobody clowns this guy like himself.

funniest thing about this is all the QAnon & Dilbert guy types coming out to say "actually the President knew exactly what he was talking about, the media and idiot liberals are just too dumb to get it" and then an hour later Trump just trampling over everything

Every time he dies a press conference he should constantly be hounded to clarify if what he has just said is sarcastic or not

I mean, he seldom has a lot of meaning in anything he says, it’s just all riffing. If his fan base starts disliking something he’ll spice it up by making up something newIt’s all serious and all sarcastic, depending on context

serious for his supporters, sarcastic for everyone else

The latest David Roth is very good: https://newrepublic.com/article/157546/donald-trump-coronavirus-press-conference
In close up, on television, at a glance, with the volume down, Donald Trump can from time to time look like a president. That effect becomes less convincing the more you pay attention, though. Even under professional lighting, Trump reliably looks like a photographic negative of himself; on his worse and wetter days, he has the tone and texture of those lacquered roast ducks that hang from hooks in Chinatown restaurant windows. The passing presidentiality of the man dissipates utterly in longer shots, where Trump can be seen standing tipped oddly forward like a jowly ski jumper in midair, or mincing forward to bum-rush an expert’s inconvenient answer with an incoherent one of his own, or just making faces intended to signal that he is listening very strongly to what someone else is saying. (These slapdash performances of executive seriousness tend to have the effect, as the comedian Stewart Lee once said of James Corden, of making Trump look like “a dog listening to classical music.”) Seen from this long-shot vantage, the man at the podium is unmistakably Donald Trump—uncanny, unknowing, upset about various things that he can’t quite understand or express.

"We are building, right now, incredible military equipment at a level that nobody has ever seen before. We have no choice. We have to do it -- with the adversaries we have out there.

Trump apparently called Scarborough during one of the show's commercial breaks to issue a "bet to a certain host on MSNBC." Scarborough relayed the terms.If Trump's salary is not certified to be correct, Scarborough said, "then he will give said host one year's salary.""If he is telling the truth, then said host owes Donald Trump a year of his television salary," Scarborough continued.A Trump spokesperson clarified that, under the terms of the bet, Trump would pay one year of O'Donnell's salary, not his own.

tentative hope over US vaccine tempered by thought that if said vaccine works, he will take credit for it, his Magats will gladly give him cedit for it, his terrible, psychotic handling of the pandemic will be erased and he will win reelection, and then something worse than covid comes along and we all die

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrumpMany will disagree, but @FoxNews is doing nothing to help Republicans, and me, get re-elected on November 3rd. Sure, there are some truly GREAT people on Fox, but you also have some real “garbage” littered all over the network, people like Dummy Juan Williams, Schumerite Chris.......Hahn, Richard Goodstein, Donna Brazile, Niel Cavuto, and many others. They repeat the worst of the Democrat speaking points, and lies. All of the good is totally nullified, and more. Net Result = BAD! CNN & MSDNC are all in for the Do Nothing Democrats! Fox WAS Great!
