PoliticusUSA: Trump Bombs On CNN And CBS After Networks Use Interviews To Call Out His Lies

Donald Trump's appearances on CNN's State Of The Union and CBS's Face The Nation were total disasters for the presumptive Republican nominee after both networks used the interviews to call out his lies.

The trouble began for Trump after he repeated his claim that he always opposed the Iraq war.

I'm adding CBS to the list of news stations that are calling drumpf on his LIES. I hope it continues with more
and more stations joining.

You hate Clinton that bad?

Why are you even on a site called Democratic Underground?

That bitter that Bernie has lost?

Trump is obsessed with being treated "fairly," a slippery concept that usually boils down to everyone being reasonable and doing things Trump's way. Getting called out on his own bullshit will surely lead to a string of tweets pissing and moaning about how unfair it is to use his own words against him. Sad.

Who knows what the fool is up to. I've wondered recently if he's doing everything he can to NOT be elected, since his personal treasure is emptying out. And this is what just flashed through my mind: What if Trump just ups and quits, like before the Republican Convention gets here (July 18). ?

Dominating the conversation with rambling and repetition. I wonder which drugs he uses?

He was trying to be soft spoken but I bet he was furious afterward with the questions.

It's just another variant on the Gish Gallop. Shout them out loud enough and fast enough and there isn't time to respond properly.

They're finally getting their feet under them. He seldom had much chance of attracting anything beyond his core base. Maybe if he'd try to fake being some kind of rational human being. His personal narcissist is in charge though.

They love covering tragedy, even if they have to create it.
