The "We Have Something In Common" Retort By Trump.....

seemed like he was given that line in case someone brought up 'wiretapping" at this press conference. He was told - this is how you deflect any questions by the press if they ask about 'wiretapping'. Did you see his 'Cheshire grin' after he made the comment. I believe he was ready for it. There was no way his people would send him out there leaving any answers off the cuff by him. That's when he gets himself in trouble.

Note: I posted this within another thread here on DU - but felt that it would probably get more views if it stood alone in it's own original thread.

He's not capable of coming up with that himself.

Also, I gasped out loud when he said it. He and his cabal are completely incapable of shame, aren't they?

game show audience - laughing or cheering on que, to make him feel good about himself and foster an illusion of likeability.
