The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1880 - Politics and Economics

CNN just made great point that anthony scaramucci is who Trump's sees when he looks in the mirror. He is basically his real life doppelganger; articulate, intelligent, good looking and successful.

Hillary's friends are Gordon Gekko. Trump's world is Glenn Gary Glenn Ross.

My question and follow up:

1) Do you and the press team plan on offering as much transparency as possible?

2) Good. So if something is said from the podium that is incorrect, do you want us to point that out to you or Huck?

I especially liked the part where he used him and Sarah eating an elephant as an analogy for something I can't remember

This is easily the most detrimental decision of his life and it looks like he hasn't been rushing to make it so far.

At the same time, assuming he knows they will find a bunch of bad ****, he may be between a rock and a hard place

If he lets it keep going, more **** will be found out that can do him and his family in; if he tries to stop it, then bad **** may happen and congress may keep investigation going anyway

It's gonna be hard for him to get out of this Scot-free if there is truly a bunch of bad **** for investigators to find; he's trying to figure out how to thread that needle in his own bumbling, stumbling manner

And self-made son of a construction worker. In Trump's delusional mind he's a self-made son of a humble Jersey developer.

To be fair nobody on trumps comm or press team knew about his New York Times interview until it already started. Trump just does stuff some times.

The idea he is just Trump doppleganger on stage makes more sense. But it won’t go well because he will eventually say stuff trump disagrees with or pisses trump off.

As someone who doesn't golf, sinking a three-foot putt really does not sound all that impressive.

That's why this guy is already ****ed. No way Trump doesn't see it as a slur.

Yeah, it's not.

I mean, a three-footer is definitely missable and I've missed my fair share but an average PGA Tour pro is expected to make 96% of them (source: https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic...centage-stats/)

Not sure the value for a decent amateur but I expect it's at least 85%+

Scaramucci: He's a wonderful person.

Really? Not many wonderful people Presidents tell investigators not to look into their family's finances or else, then run off to explore their pardoning powers.

I think.
