Here we go


 

Reuters sat down with U.S. President Donald Trump for an interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

[...]

When told that a Reuters/Ipsos poll found tepid support among Americans for taking control of Greenland, Trump called the poll “fake.”

"I don't care," he responded when asked about the pushback by some Senate Republicans against the investigation into Powell. "I don't care," he said again, when reminded of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon’s concerns that White House interference in the Fed could harm the economy.

When asked about Americans' worries about high prices, Trump reiterated that the economy was the strongest “in history” and said he had to do a better job of promoting his achievements.

“A lot of times, you can't convince a voter,” he said. “You have to just do what's right. And then a lot of the things I did were not really politically popular. They turned out to be when it worked out so well.”

Delusional. And couldn't give a shit.
Trump appeared to express some sympathy for the death of Renee Nicole Good, after an ICE agent shot and killed her last week in Minneapolis, calling it “a very unfortunate incident.”
If that's all, there's no sympathy for her death.
“I know that it was a tough situation to be in. There was very little respect shown to the police, in this case, the ICE officers,” Trump said.
Sympathy for the devil.
He said he would continue sending armed agents into cities, claiming that his efforts had taken “thousands of murderers out of our country.” There is no evidence to support that assertion.
No shit, Reuters. No shit.
The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency.

“It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”
And, there it is.

Actually, I'm glad he said that, because when he declares a state of emergency to block the midterms, there will be good legal footing to counter it.

Every time.


A major mistake to telegraph his intent.
