Wait, what? Come again now?




“When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia...”

Is he talking about the interview about how he admitted firing James Comey because of Russia? Is he really claiming that was not genuine?

Is this little fucker trying to gaslight us, again?

... I've observed during his KKKlan rallies that mentions of Putin have not been taken well also.

Looks like Red Don's ties to Putin or his obstruction of the Mueller investigation on what Putin green lighted during the election is Red Don's weak underbelly with his base.

Wish we had some coordinated message on that precise point.

They lead off with him and his Google bullshit this morning, rather than with John McCain's services. One would think he'd be thrilled that he's getting the attention back.

I can't see this "pea brain" called Trump,running again in 2020. With all of the late night whining on twitter and screaming at his staff on the phone. This so called man will end up impeached before he decides not to run again.

when Trump admitted to obstruction of justice...and the oh so subtle way he puts it in so casually at the end of the tweet, like this wasn't the intent of the whole tweet to begin with.

And the whole Helinsky, kissing Putin's ass and bowing to all Russian oligarch interests never happened.

And Trump never gave a tax cut to all the US oligarchs.

And Trump never cheated on any of his 3 wives and really doesn't want to have sex with his surgically enhanced daughter.

And Trump is not fat, orange, balding or has fits of rage.

... I think. Only an educated guess. The informal 60 day buffer is coming up fast and expect few indictments or big moves during that time. Mueller's team will be plenty busy regardless, esp. with Manafort's trial Sept. 24.

Are you serious? Lester Holt's interview w/Trump was on videotaped and Trump never
said it was "fudged" for over a year since it was broadcast but Trump is not bothered by
facts or the truth.

He must think we are all as weak-minded as his rally people. Hah! Or he thinks that keeping them bamboozled is all that matters.

Also, tweeting must comfort him, much like a toddler sucking his thumb.

he also has been saying that the Access Hollywood tape was fake as well, even though he did a half-hearted apology after the tape came out.

and I can't figure out why the media labeled it an "apology."

maybe "half hearted" was too generous.

But, he said earlier this year that it was not him on the tape.

Why would Lester Holt fudge it? Seriously, this kind of gaslighting will only work on repeat customers, who have never seen any other kind of light.
