Yay, the answers were completed, if not handed over. The good thing about written questions is that you can consult your lawyers and be very, very careful about choosing your words. everyone expected him to use his legal team to go over the questions thoroughly, and by all accounts he spent much of the previous 3 days sitting in with his legal team, but apparently they were just there to get him a coke from time to time while he did all the answering, because he's so stable and such a genius that he can do it all by himself.

A completely needless boast, he did it by himself, the questions were simple and he had no problem answering them - good, it wasn't supposed to be an IQ test there Donny, and it's now a well recorded statement from Trump to ensure that we'll have his traditional contradictory message for when he inevitably tries to blame his lawyers for some of the responses he gave to the questions.

He made much mention once again of a 'perjury trap' although his attempted explanation of one was laughable "what if they ask about the weather, and I say I think it was raining, when it was really a sunny day?" doesn't quite make the bar of being pertinent and material, but oh well, I'm sure his blind supporters will take that into account. But that's why you really should make use of that incredibly expensive legal team you have, rather than use them as your personal air hostesses - although I'm sure Rudi looks just adorbs in a pencil skirt.

the teacher gave you an assignment to take to your parents, coming back into class and proudly saying you did it all by yourself and it was easy and you'll get an A for sure just seems... unnecessary.

Do the deplorables that voted for Trump, who is now supporting terrorists, want this.... in their name?
Do the deplorables want Trump to wage war with China and Russia in their name?
Did the deplorables want Trump appointing scum like Bolton?
Do the deplorables think that attacking and occupying small countries like Syria makes America great?
Do the deplorables think 18 years of war in Afghanistan makes America great?

"I was with the president of Finland, and he said: 'We have a much different [sic]..., we're a forest nation.' And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem," he added.

But Sauli Niinisto told the Ilta-Sanomat newspaper raking had not come up when they talked.

Just this afternoon I was busy meeting my raking quota

Just an ordinary day in the Finnish forest

“I don’t do odds,” Trump replied.

“You ran a casino, sir,” Wallace chuckled.

“You’re right,” Trump fired back. “And very successfully, actually.”

Chris Wallace asked him for odds on a rapid end to the Mueller investigation

“You’re right,” Trump fired back. “And very successfully, actually.”

Successful if you ignore the five casino bankruptcies.

It's actually quite interesting to read the source document and then compare it to the filter of that blog you cited.

It's worth noting that there are lot of Russian internet-research-agency type sites pushing the exact same story with the exact same terminology that you've just posted.

And some of his more challenged followers don't care and think it's great 4D trolling on the "lefty libtards"... eg.

Donald J. Trump

So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!]

A Uriah Heep figure?

Granted, Trump is a lying, hypocritical and untrustworthy sort, but he's certainly not the obsequious fawning worm that Heep is. I can only assume WT has not read the book.

If anything, Michael Cohen would be a closer match.

They are even both lawyers.


Edit: Mind you, the painting of an arrogant fraudster born into enormous wealth and gifted a head-start in life to the tune several hundred million dollars, bailed out whenever he failed and fuelling his business empire on tax avoidance as an 'underdog' suggests an almost complete detatchment from reality.

I'll cop to that - come in to work, see what insane/hateful/spiteful/stupid thing he or his sycophants have done over the weekend.

Then post on here to vent frustration knowing that nothing he says or does makes blind bit of difference to his supporters anymore and he will just carry on regardless as he has no shame and 40% of America are deplorable. and that the republican party has gerrymandered and suppressed their way into making their minority support count for more than it deserves.

Oh well, he will be gone one day, and all the problems associated with him will go away.

What a shame he won't be able to take all the other problems in the US of A with him. At least we know the Democrats could not be so stupid as to run Clinton against him in 2020 so there will be a new, younger Democrat president.











Or could they be so stupid?

Of course there was going to be a reckoning, another round, a sequel to this wonderful exhibition of Trump's pettiness, but did anyone expect it quite so soon?
