Calling out CBS as crooked after installing an ardent supporter as head of the company is an interesting play.

Yeah, but that was last October! What has CBS done for him today?
You only have value to a narcissist when you're actively doing something for them. But he's also clearly got dementia, so he can't even remember who's on his side.
As a parent, it’s tough to restrain a child. I understand her frustration.
Kristin was probably like, my toddler acts better than this.
I'm surprised he didn't accuse her of raping children.
It's nothing but projection from this waste of oxygen.
"Also you're fat and smell awful, falling asleep all the time when you should be working because you're up all night posting insane rants online, with a cheap spray tan, and your hair looks like a piss-soaked tangle of spider webs. I'm done with this interview!"
In contrast to Trump, who is both.
It's frustrating how the right hasn't figured out Trump's formula. Unless, they really don't want to.
Losing? It's rigged. They're cheating.
Republican who speaks out? RINO, low IQ, traitor.
Left? Stupid, terrorist, socialist, Insert Insult before first name.
Media that questions or doesn't agree? Fake news, corrupt, low viewership, stupid person and insert insult to women.
Celebrity who doesn't agree? Washed up, no talent, traitor, has been.
It's the same thing every single time. Not once has it changed since 2016. Whenever there is a tough question or a disagreement, he can't handle it. He hasn't ever answered a question with a thought out response that either diffuses the situation, or actually counters the argument being made. His brain doesn't work that way. It's instantly programmed to insult and disparage.
That trait usually reveals one of two things. The person is a flat out liar in what they are saying. They cannot formulate anything to get themselves out of it.
Secondly, the person is just stupid. Too stupid to figure out a way to put proper words together to debate the argument at hand. Five year olds do this because they haven't matured enough. It's understandable. For a 79 year old person, you could say it's age. Trump, however, has been doing that for at least the last twenty-five years.
I have to chalk it up as a zombie mentality for the right. They simply hear and ask no questions. As I said, frustrating.
I have been convinced for a while that we could very easily get the orange dipshit to do a 180 on everything he claims he believes if someone were to suggest things in a way that made him think they were his ideas and just appease his ego.
But that would require appeasing the son of a bitch, and fuck that.
Mamdani got him repeating socialist stuff after just an hour that first time.
Petro of Columbia, his the target of the president's handlers, turned him in his meeting as well.
I don't think they hear it at all. Anything unflattering or challenging is caught by the thought firewall at Fox/OAN/WTF and dropped. The bubble is comfortable and viewers rarely bother to step outside of it.
TACO
He can't even withstand softball questions in his old, soft age.
He's done this literally forever. He couldn't handle Ali G's ice cream glove related questions like 30 years ago.
Aww... what a delicate little snowflake
But imagine Harris with her woman emotions.
You're either crooked or you're stupid
I think he just described the venn diagram of his base
With him smack dab in the middle.
Compost the Epstein class
Congrats on doing your job like 6 years too late.
They're best at doing it when there's nothing at stake.
Oh, I assumed she was calling him crooked.
Dude needs to look in a mirror
Why would people who were successfully charged for breaking laws and actively participated in an insurrection deserve compensation or reparations as his reps have called it? He knows there's no excuse and he couldn't recall the talking point he was told so he loses patience and goes with typical attack he always uses.
This is cognitive decline. He can’t cognate well enough to respond coherently so he lashes out with anger. If you’ve ever taken care of relative with dementia is any stage, you see this often in various ways. It’s scary having a man in this state of cognitive decline in a position with so much unchecked power.
Sad thing is that he's such a moron and a narcissist that he probably actually believes this.
It's DARVO

I honestly just don't believe he's that intelligent
It doesn't take much intelligence to act on. It's literally just "Nuh uh, you are" - the default retort of children everywhere.
yup. it's a fairly common instinct we have to teach ourselves to be better than. or if you're lucky, you have someone kind to teach it to you.
I guess he's been living that his whole life. Would make sense that it's the thing he'd fall back on as his brain is starting to rot.
I really don't think most practitioners are. They are just crafty enough to know how to try to freeze their targets with this kind of tactic.
He’s just gifted that way
"A weaponization fund to help compensate people who believe they were unfairly targeted by the federal government" eh? So every black man, woman and immigrant in America?
Gas prices will come down as soon as the non-existent war that we already won is over!
Hopefully gas prices will never come down. That would be a disaster for the climate
Is there any audio or video for that?
happy cake day
Why do we always assume that the cake is happy?
glorious cake day
Yeah. Reddit shit that I'd prefer people left behind.
The cake is a lie
Cuz everything sucks and we'll take any win we can get right now
First: Acid burn?
Second: You wouldn't have happened to have found a pre-cut version (to the parts described in the article), or a full transcript, would you?
Edit: YouTube already has hundreds, so nevermind 😉
That's a mean thing to say about your own supporters.
