Can he hear?
No wonder they don't want him to do interviews.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
Plain bullshit
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
Got ketchup?Bloomberg’s top editor, John Micklethwait, repeatedly pressed Trump at the Economic Club of Chicago over his plans to impose a universal tariff on imports and his threats to use tariffs on American companies that outsource their manufacturing.
Micklethwait noted Trump’s plans would essentially halt trade with China, place at least a 10 percent tariff on European nations and have a drastic effect on the U.S. economy, where 40 million jobs rely on trade.
“That is going to have a serious effect on the overall economy,” Micklethwait said.
What???!!! OMG.“It’s going to have a massive effect — positive effect. It’s going to be a positive effect,” Trump responded. “It must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong.”
Holy canole. They can't let him do more interviews.Micklethwait noted that critics have said Trump’s tariff proposals for all imports would amount to a national sales tax, with $3 trillion worth of imports affected and companies passing on higher costs to buyers.
“That is just simple mathematics, President Trump,” he said.
“It is, but not the way you figured. I was always very good at mathematics,” Trump replied, suggesting higher tariffs would make it more likely for foreign companies to build factories in the United States.
His aides are figuring out what they can't let him do

He also isn't going on Fox.

Holy canole. They can't let him do more interviews. He canceled CNN. I guess they thought fewer MAGAheads would be watching Bloomberg.Micklethwait noted that critics have said Trump’s tariff proposals for all imports would amount to a national sales tax, with $3 trillion worth of imports affected and companies passing on higher costs to buyers.

Micklethwait asked Trump if he would commit “to respecting and encouraging a peaceful transfer of power,” especially in light of Jan. 6, 2021, which the journalist called “unruly and violent.”
Trump didn’t answer the question. Instead, he rejected the premise and blamed Micklethwait as “a man that has not been a big Trump fan over the years.” He also falsely claimed that he allowed for a peaceful transfer of power in 2020, when Joe Biden defeated him.
“Come on, President Trump, you had a peaceful transfer of power compared to Venezuela, but it was by far the worst transfer of power for a long time,” Micklethwait insisted.
The audience booed and Trump thanked them. The former president then admitted that people were angry when they arrived in Washington to protest the results that January—but according to him, they were perfectly behaved.
“It was love and peace, and some people went to the Capitol,” Trump said. “And a lot of strange things happened there, a lot of strange things, with people being waved into the Capitol by police.”

“Not one of those people had a gun, nobody was killed, except for Ashli Babbitt,” he said.

I think we know who the seriously sick person is.
Oh my fucking lord
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have liftoff.
"Batshit" doesn't describe what this was.

Insert hardy laugh.“It might bind Israel from taking extreme steps, knowing that by doing so, they might [put] U.S. troops in harm’s way,” said Eugene Finkel, a professor of international affairs at Johns Hopkins University.

I don't mind sending them air defense systems. I do object strongly to sending troops and offensive weaponry. Trump always takes credit for Biden accomplishments and brags he's done more for Israel than any president in history. No. That would also be Biden.
Thanks, Biden.
Yeah, right.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in a “more moderated place” in that discussion than he had previously been, the U.S. official told the Post, describing the call between the two leaders. The apparent softening of the prime minister’s stance factored into Biden’s decision to send a powerful missile defense system to Israel, both officials told the outlet.
UPDATE 02:38 pm:
I assume they laughed. At least behind Blinken's back.
