Thank you for this comment. Made my day.

They also gave Session’s booster seat to charity so....

but

Ladies and gents, I’m ungreyed!

I had not considered it as an interviewing technique! That makes sense. Otherwise he’d just clam up and be all defensive. With her encouragement he can just ramble on like a chatty toddler. God I almost feel a little sorry for him?? Almost. He’s so clearly unwell, mentally.

I think you’re right! And you made a great point about Ivanka “checking in” on Drumpf during that interview...hadn’t even thought of that.

Oh, huh! That makes sense. .... Wait shit, you mean my therapist DOESN’T actually agree with me all the time??

not a chance. he will not ever publicly acknowledge that he’s anything other than perfectly healthy, and the GOP would literally lock him away in the East Wing and have Pence do the public appearances before allowing any evidence that he may have been unfit at any point. this is also man who threatened to sue a random…

She’s basically telling him what he wants to hear or using therapist type language to get him to feel safe and keep talking. There is a strategy being employed by those reporters.

Its because they want continued access. Maggie Haberman is far smarter than Trump, and a lot of those “behind the scenes” articles are because he calls her. She indulges him a little, and he continues to share his bonkers, addled thoughts unfiltered.

TRUMP: So, I was seated next to the wife of Prime Minister Abe [Shinzo Abe of Japan], who I think is a terrific guy, and she’s a terrific woman, but doesn’t speak English.

I would say you have 20 times two, so you had 40, and then you probably had another 10 or 15 people.

He also thinks Akie Abe doesn’t speak English.

I understand the Republicans’ feelings here. They certainly would never do anything so disrespectful like interrupt an important event involving one of our leaders.

Yes please! He was the key speaker at a convention I went to and he is delightful. I also got to be an extra in one of his movies.

I saw John Waters at a bar once. Not only was he not an asshole when I asked if I could take a picture with him, but he bought me a drink and chatted for 15 minutes or so.

Or like appointing Betsy DeVos as education secretary.

Putin: are those reporters bothering you??

In all seriousness this would be like asking the Imperial Japanese Army to help look at improving treatment of PoWs or Nazi Germany for better ways to stop discrimination.
