A source close to President Donald Trump is telling Vanity Fair reporter Gabriel Sherman that the president is watching the Senate Judiciary Committee testimony of Christine Blasey Ford — and he’s not liking what he’s seeing so far.

According to Sherman’s source, Trump is “raging at how bad this has been for Republicans so far” — and he’s telling people that Ford “seems credible” in her testimony.

A second source tells Sherman that Trump is tearing apart aides because they “didn’t have advance knowledge of how credible Ford would seem.”

Another Trump ally shared a similar assessment as the president reportedly has, and they joked to Sherman that attorney Rachel Mitchell’s attempts to cross-examine Ford have been so bad that she “must be working for the Democrats.”

1. The reason she is credible is because someone tried to rape her, and people don't forget that

[Achilleaze]

2. "Oh shit, not the damn truth. Stop it!!" - Dirty Donny* (R)

3. When's the meeting with Rosenstein?

Oh, never mind:

No Rosenstein Meeting On Trump's Thursday Schedule

[Fred Sanders]

28. Remember those who were ever so concerned the Rosenstein meeting would

distract from a sexual assault allegation against a SCOTUS nominee?

As illogical then as it has been proven to be today.

[Leghorn21]

4. RAGE ON MOTHERFUCKER

[Merlot]

5. If anyone recognizes a credible assault witness, it's gotta be trumpft.

He's had enough experience with these "situations."

[FakeNoose]

6. Of course Dr. Ford seems credible, because she IS credible

How did the Repugs think this was going to work? Whether the questions are asked by a woman or a man, doesn't change Dr. Ford's testimony. Even if Kavanaugh says everything correctly (which he hasn't until now) it's still not going to make Dr. Ford go away.

I'm betting this will be over soon. There won't be a vote after this, either Cheeto or Mitch will call this off.

[dhill926]

7. will he do the decent thing...

and rescind the nomination? I know, I know...

[FiveGoodMen]

41. Oh, I was thinking the decent thing would be ritual suicide

Yours is a little more likely.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Sexual assault does not discriminate on Party.

Dr. Ford is not stressing that . She is stressing her experience.

If Trump is furious, he has himself to blame. The Republican Senators who support Kavanaugh are to blame.

Clarence Thomas has to be sweating bullets because of the voracity he went after Anita Hill in 1991. Grassley and Hatch are the reasons why he is on the Bench of the SCOTUS.

[Samspadesnark]

19. I can hear it now, in his 7-year old feminine whiny gangster voice:

"He LIED to me; he told me there was no problem in his past and that he'd sail through the hearing because his accuser was not credible – he LIED to me!!" This will never be Trump's fault, in his mind.

Would someone now please remind Trump that Mitchell was a long-time democrat before he switched parties? After all, why shouldn't we keep their internecine warfare at a high pitch while we have the opportunity?

[INdemo]

9. I would bet that Trump didnt use the word "crediible" because that word in not

within his vocabulary. He might have said "she seems to be telling the truth"
Whatever phrase a 4th grader would use is what Trump would say.....

[getagrip_already]

18. more likely..

She is fu#$%ing ripping us a new one!

She is winning. She is powerful. She is a she.

Three things he hates in someone not named donald trump.

[INdemo]

22. well yes..I agree

[TeamPooka]

21. "believable" is a word I could see him using.

[TeamPooka]

30. Apparently even Fox News is calling Dr. Ford credible. So he got it from them.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Shocking for him...truth. integrity. What concepts!

What she overflows with he has not an iota of.

[beachbum bob]

11. realization of "a good and fine man" is anything but, is setting in with Trump and GOP

the only hope was a discredited Ford and she is even more believable now....

can't wait for kavanaugh's turn

[apnu]

12. Ford's identity became public 11 days ago on 9/16.

What was Trump doing for the past 11 days of observation and information gathering opportunities. He's just now seeing how credible she is? Was he taking a nap?

[turbinetree]

15. He played golf.....................and was telling everyone down in NC

about his golf course near lake Norman.................and handing out hot dogs in SC..................and playing more golf, dissing Canada, dissing China, made to look like and show that he is a laughing stock at the UN.................and he didn't get it..................

[apnu]

17. And this is why he's acting like a spoiled brat who forgot to do his homework (nt)

[turbinetree]

27. Yepper, spot on.................

I can just imagine him throwing a temper tantrum.................


And as a side note then what struck me is when Grassley made the comment today, that after Feinstein made her remarks about all of the witnesses that were not being called, he made a comment..................that just pissed me off, when he said no corroborating evidence..............absolutely amazing..................good thing I was driving, I would be going out and buying a new flat screen.....................he is about as bright as this traitor sitting in our house tainting decency and the "rule of law".................

[onetexan]

13. LOL so bad she must be working for Democrats

[noneof_theabove]

14. but...but...but....

She used bigly science words and made full sentences, MUST BE FAKE ! ! !

Fuck the entire Rethuglican Party

VOTE THEM OUT 2018 ! ! !

[thesquanderer]

16. How many people are in the room with Trump while he's watching?

I don't think I've ever seen 'live leaking" before.

[calimary]

20. Too bad for the GOP.

Too damn bad.

24. Been a tough week for cheetox..

First the world leaders laughed at it and then this woman
telling everyone its pick for the supremes tried to rape
her....

[NCjack]

25. Trump is tearing apart aides because they "didn't have advance knowledge of

how credible Ford would seem"

Oh, my -- if only they had a FBI investigation and report.

[MFM008]

26. Blow out an artery bitch

Rage on.

[Dave Starsky]

29. Trump couldn't win a game of Candy Land...

If you gave him the first ten moves.

WTF did he think was going to happen?

[Leghorn21]

31. More from Sherman

......Kavanaugh ally says Pam Bondi should have done the questioning for Republicans

.......Trump also furious with Don McGahn for putting him in this situation, source said.

.......This is Trump’s worst nightmare: a TV moment going badly for him that’s completely out of his control

[lagomorph777]

44. Pam Bondi would've been a great choice; she'd receive questions about taking a bribe from Trump.

And become instantly useless.

[Mad-in-Mo]

33. But yesterday he said he'd have to watch to make up his mind!

I guess he doesn't like which way his mind is going. Poor Pilzschwanz


On Edit, I wonder if he hasn't really talked to any woman who isn't trashy and conniving?

[meadowlander]

34. Well, if you'd ordered an FBI investigation, dumb ass, you would have known how credible she was.

That's what the FBI is there for.

[flibbitygiblets]

36. And if you hadn't publicly dissed the FBI for the past year, you wouldn't be paranoid that they're

out to get your disgusting ass. It's called shooting yourself in the foot, and you're a fucking grand master at it.

[Honeycombe8]

35. What source close to Trump would report what he's thinking?

After all the leaks, I have doubts about someone in his inner circle reporting his feelings and thoughts on something like this. There's really no point. The hearing isn't even over.

[riversedge]

37. I hope he is. too bad.

[SeattleVet]

38. As a good side-effect...

it has made him keep his stubby little fingers off the twitter buttons for over 19 hours! Must be a new record.

[duforsure]

39. His nominee is a failure

Because trump failed to properly vet him , or intentionally ignored everything because he was assured he would be protected by him if voted into the position. Trump failed because he thought he could easily circumvent the legal threats to him , and the party by installing a ringer for protection. Just another disaster and failure for trump, who caused this to happen like this.

[CanonRay]

40. Now let's have Mr. Mueller drop a couple of indictments on his head tomorrow

and we can watch are the pieces flying around when he explodes.

[True Blue American]

42. Has anyone stopped to think that Mitchell is a Prosecutor.

She prosecutes rapists.

The ending today showed she believed Doctor Ford. Even offered help.

Are the Republicans that dumb?

[Wounded Bear]

43. Trump thinks she's a better actor than he first thought...

I can't see him having any real empathy for her. He's pretty incapable of that, I'm sure.

He knows he just go slapped down on national TV. I hope his tantrum doesn't destroy too much. Hasn't been a good week (has he acctually had a good week yet? I can't remember one). He'll probably veto the spending bill over this.

[paulkienitz]

45. hey two-scoops, how is this a surprise?

"Trump telling people he’s furious that WH aides didn’t have advance knowledge of how credible Ford would seem, per 2nd source."

How dumb do you have to be to not see that coming?

[NOMOGOP]

46. How bad did he think a Stanford Prof would be?

[bucolic_frolic]

47. Fake News Guy sees truth for the first time

[Initech]

48. Don't worry, Trump, soon you will have to answer for your crimes.
