My parents voted for Trump, twice, even after I calmly walked through the many ways that he is the antithesis of every value they taught me as a child. I gave them specific examples of things that he’s done and said, gave them specific examples of how they raised me, and then asked them if they really didn’t believe…

I really don’t think there exists a person that Trump won’t talk over and just bluster his way through. I know someone else mentioned Stewart, but part of what makes Stewart effective is that he can methodically pull apart an argument. Trump won’t give him the time to do that. He’ll just rush right through him.

““He was a newscaster. Very nice man. She called him an ape—he happens to be African American—called him an ape. The judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in.” (There is no reporting that backs Trump’s claim of Carroll calling her husband an “ape.”)“

Oh hey, a brand-new defamation case he’s created here! What a brilliant…

He’s actually changed from he’s never met her to now he has never even heard of her, which is a weird claim.

Worse than that, after the verdict and he’s posting on Truth that he’s never even heard of her. That just screams dementia more than anything since it’s one thing to say you haven’t met her, but to say you’ve never even heard of the woman who is suing you directly and has been in the news for years isn’t a great look…

Freedom of speech does not mean news channels are obligated to facilitate your lying to the world.

Agreed. And it begins with a very simple first step: the control booth cuts his mic when others are speaking. Period. His chief tactic is to simply prattle on like a toddler, drowning out reason. The added visuals this would create, of an old asshole railing silently in the background, would just be the icing. 

CNN should not have had him at all. How would a Trump town hall be deemed news worthy... CNN simply sponsored a long campaign ad Trump. Isn’t this how he got elected the first time?

CNN thinks they can thread the needle for people who are tired of their children no longer talking to them but who still hate all of the drag brunches that are not actually going on in there communities. There is no needle.

They should hire some Dutch reporters. Look up footage of how Trump’s ambassador to the Netherlands was treated by the Dutch press. It. Was. Glorious. They do not take any of his shit. When he claims he did not make statements, they just shoved a tablet in his face showing footage of him saying it. Then later at a…

I applaud you for lasting 10 minutes.  I saw Trump blabbering for about 15 seconds and had to change the channel.  

CNN should have grown some balls and have done live factchecking. And when he (inevitably) refused to admit he was lying, they should have ended the interview there and then.

Freedom of speech does not mean news channels are obligated to facilitate your lying to the world.

I keep going back to that woman in 2016...I think she was at CPAC. She spouted one of Trump’s lies, the reporter corrected her (oh, those were the days), and the old woman said, “Well, never mind. I choose to believe it’s true.”

And his description of her allegations sounds more like his own memories. And he’s trying to move the goalpost. “I never met her.” “She’s not my type.” “She led me on.” “It’s OK to fuck her if she’s — maybe? — not married.”

CNN is delusional if they think that’ll ever happen. Fox viewers distrust CNN on a primal, visceral level. If there’s any movement away from Fox, it’ll be to farther-right outlets such as Newsmax, OAN, and their ilk.

For someone who’s never met Carroll, Trump sure seems to know her well.

Wow who could have seen this coming? If only journalists and media houses would take a break from profiting off of Trump. So many careers and millionaires have been made off platforming him. Trump is uncontrollable. CNN knows it, Kaitlin Collins knows it and they decided to go ahead anyway because it is good for ad…

“CNN really didn’t have to give him such a serious platform tonight from which to spew his bullshit.” You got that right! I watched 10 minutes to confirm it would be another Trump shit show, and from your report, it sounds like it got worse, including his chorus of laughing hyenas.

Make it make sense...President Town Drunk says he doesn’t know her but knows that she had a cat named Vagina*...

The beauty of all this, is that Trump is liable for libel. And sexual assault. To the tune of $5 million.
