THE TRUMP SAGA A SENILE SAD SITUATION The Bulwark \| Will's Take: Even FOX can't save Trump! Anchors struggle to stop Trump disaster PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUa0rzvN57c Peter Burgess COMMENTARY I have had a lot of difficulty understanding how a person like Donald Trump could become so popular and influential. When I was growing up in the UK in the early post-war years, there was a popular radio program called ITMA! They used the phrase '??? senior moment!!!)' all the time. It seems to fit the situation we find ourselves in with Donald Trump. I have concluded that Trump has followers not because he is a good 'politician' but because he is a good entertainer!. The consuming public has been very tolerant of the bad behavior of entertainers much more so than politicians ... and Trump gets a 'free-pass' because for most people in America he is identified with TV entertainment ... The Apprentice ... much more than either business or politics. I visited a Trump casino in Atlantic City in the mid-1990s around the time they were going into a massive bankruptcy. I ran into Trump and a massive executive entourage going through the building. Not long after this thecasino went into bankruptcy, a bankruptcy notable for the way in which the owner ... Trump ... had his interests protected and every other party to the bankruptcy lost everything. Fpor everything Trump touches ... it is all about Trump and everyone else 'be damned!'. Trump must not get voted into office for a second term ... but it could be very tight! Peter Burgess

one of the smartest people in the world trust me I'm like a smart person that's what he says and today we're going to test that theory we're going to watch Trump as several Fox News anchors try to coach him to stop saying stupid things and start saying smart things let's see how well he does we'll start with Trump's opinion of his own intellect here he is earlier this year explaining just how brilliant his family is you know had an uncle he's the longest serving Professor Dr John Trump in the history of MIT same genes we have te we're smart people they smart people and here's Trump at a rally in Atlanta on Saturday ridiculing his opponent kamla Harris she happens to be really a low IQ individual she really knowes she has a very low IQ 1:02 she's Bernie Sanders but not as smart that's the way I've he her I said she's a dumb version of Bernie Sanders and actually further left than him so that's what Trump thinks of his own intellect compared to the intellect of his opponent but let's see how Trump does in real life here's Trump in an interview with Shan Hannity two months ago Hannity is trying to get Trump to clean up a quote in which Trump talked about bringing retribution to his enemies watch focus on those that want people to believe that you want retribution that you will use the system of justice to go after your political so number one they're wrong it has to stop because otherwise we're not going to have a country look when this election is over based on what they've done I would have every right to go after them and it's easy because it's Joe Biden and 2:02 you see all the criminality all of the money that's going into the family and him that was a good try by Hannity he wants Trump to let go of his grievances but Trump can't let go he repeats the Grievances and says he's got every right to go after Biden so Hannity tries again this time he tries to spoon feed the right words to Trump and watch what Trump says in response you'll see Trump blurred out in the interview that Hannity is trying to tell him what to say and that he's not going to say it will you pledge to restore Equal justice equal application of our laws end this practice of weaponization is that a promise you're going to make you have to do it but it's awful look I know you want me to say something I don't want you to say I'm I don't want to look naive what they've done to the Republican Party 3:00 they want to arrest on no crime they want to arrest the person that won the nomination in a landslide it was nobody even close in a landslide the person that got millions of votes more votes than any other sitting president in history in the last election there he goes back to the Grievances the self-pity and the ego anity tried his best but Trump just would not take the hint so let's see how Trump does with a different teacher here's Laura Ingram another Fox News host interviewing Trump last week she's trying to get Trump to clean up a different quote in which he said that if he becomes president again Christians won't have to vote anymore they're also attacking you for other um ridiculous reasons they're saying that you said to a crowd to of Christians that they won't have to vote in the future yeah let me say what did I mean 4:01 by that I had a tremendous crowd speaking to Christians all I mean this was a crowd that liked me a lot I think I'm at 97% or something look the assignment here is really simple Ingram wants Trump to say no I did not mean that if I win there won't be any more elections but instead of saying that Trump goes back to what an awesome guy he is and how everybody loves him so Ingram has to step in and try to steer him back to what she wants him to say watch look is that Christians are known you know who else doesn't vote gun owners don't vote just to be clear what you're saying though you're not saying it's being interpreted as you are not surprised to hear by the left as well they're never going to have another election he's he's he's saying there's so first time can you even just respond to that I said Christians I started off by saying just so you understand you never vote 5:02 Christians do not vote well they vote in very small percentages why I don't know maybe the disappointed in things that are happening but for a long time again here's a Fox News host trying to spoon feed Trump the right thing to say and she can't get him off these rants it's starting to look as though Trump despite his brilliant genes is a very slow student then last Wednesday Trump went to speak to the National Association of black journalists as you might have gathered from the name of the organization there were black people in the audience and Trump needs to persuade black voters that he cares about them instead he did the worst possible thing he attacked one of the interviewers who shared the stage with him Rachel Scott of ABC News and he attacked the ancestry of kamla Harris this you got to see she 6:01 was always of Indian Heritage and she was only promoting Indian Heritage I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black so I don't know is she Indian or is she black she is always identified as a black I respect either one but she obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went she became a black person just to be clear sir I think somebody should look into that too when you ask a continue in a very hostile nasty town this performance was so awful that another Fox News host decided to step in Harris Faulkner who has her own show on Fox happened to be one of the three people on stage with Trump at the conference of black journalists so she intervened in the conversation to try to get Trump back on message watch look I I want to talk 7:00 about why you're here today I mean it is not lost on us how divided we are as a country and as you were coming today we really got to see that we are divided along the lines of race along the lines of gender the lines of gender and and there is this question of in this moment where we are why come here what is your message today my message is to stop people from invading our country country that are taking frankly a lot of problems with it but one of the big problems and a lot of the journalists in this room I know and I have great respect for a lot of the journalists in this room are black I will tell you that coming coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs you had the best what exactly is a black jober you got to feel for Professor Faulkner she's trying to get Trump to stop insulting black people 8:02 instead he goes back to his old riff about black jobs so she tries again she asks Trump to please focus on a constructive message about inflation and living expenses how do you turn it around what's your plan for the black community when it comes to money so first of all uh it's very hard to hear you for whatever reason because of the fact that they have bad equipment because I guess you know this woman was unable to get the right equipment can you believe this guy he's still bitching at Rachel Scott he can't even learn her name he keeps calling her this woman in fact later in the interview Trump goes after Scott again and listen carefully to this clip because as he speaks you'll hear Harris Faulkner blurt out her dismay at what a jackass he is if I came onto a stage like this and I got treated so rudely as this woman treated my goodness 9:00 and I'm fine with it because she it doesn't she was very rude sir very rude that was a nasty that wasn't a question did you hear that oh my goodness that's the sound of a teacher acknowledging just how obtuse and obnoxious her student is but let's give these Fox anchors one more shot on Thursday Maria bomo who has a Morning Show on the Fox Business Channel interviewed Trump about a series of issues she told him quite clearly that she wanted him to focus on his policy differences with kamla Harris watch Mr President I really want to focus on policy in this interview because I want to make sure people understand what your policy is but once again Trump did not follow the assignment he insisted on attacking Harris personally and he also personally attacked Joe Biden who isn't even running against Trump anymore here's what Trump said about both of them well 10:01 she's terrible she's not respected on the in the foreign in foreign countries I mean she's laughed at everybody can't believe that this is happening and I'm not a fan of Biden he's not a smart guy never was you could go back 30 years he was never a smart guy but she's not smart either she's not a smart person are you going to debate her well I want to and we're leading in the polls it seems by quite a bit still uh she's better than he is but I think ultimately she'll be worse than him she's not a smart person she's not a smart person those insults are the essence of Donald Trump he's just a mean Petty juvenile s so he's way more interested in demeaning other people than he is in helping anybody and it's especially ironic that his favorite insult is to call other people stupid because as you can see calling other people stupid is one of the obnoxious boneheaded 11:02 self-destructive rants that the interviewers on Fox News are trying to steer Trump away from these Fox News anchors desperately want Trump to win the election they're trying so hard to get his foot out of his mouth and to teach him to say the right thing and he's just too dumb and stubborn to get the message see you next time
