I'm beginning to think that Agent Orange simply winds up the press because he can and again because he's board. He's sees them as completely insignificant and knows they will lie and spin to their hearts desire so why not have a little fun with them? Why not run them all over Hell's Half Acre? It's downright entertaining.
So Trump was winding Lester Holt up in his interview ?
The interview in which the president said: “In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story; it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.’”
Admitting that Russia was on his mind when firing Comey?
And he admitted this because he was bored and wanted to watch the media dance?
Look, Trump lied his ass off in the interview. Because he can't help himself. He lies as easily as he breathes. And he lies to feed his narcissism and his ego. Without regard to the repercussions of being called on his BS. He's gotten away with it all his life, and only now is in an environment where the scrutiny is constant.
After the Holt interview he realized Comey was going to contradict him. And Comey has a reputation of being self righteous but also scrupulously honest.
So Trump tweeted his threats. Because, he doesn't understand that won't work with a guy like Comey either.
How do we know that Trump was BSing about the dinner.... Well start with who called who?
Trump claimed during the NBC interview that Comey requested the dinner. Comey’s allies are adamant that Trump asked for it. One current and one former senior FBI official close to Comey told NBC that the White House asked for the dinner. “The president is not correct," the former official said. "The White House called him out of the blue. Comey didn't want to do it. He didn't even want the rank and file at the FBI to know about it." But in the end: "He's still the commander in chief. He's your boss. How do you say no?
”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pow ... 4cd6600216When Comey testifies to the Senate, he'll be asked about this dinner.... and the responses will once again display Trump as a compulsive liar.
Why doesn't that matter to you Dag?
