He sees that stuff and he’s smart
The Globe has another tidbit. (I guess I’ll have to watch/listen to a little of it eventually, but I so hate listening to his clogged croaking voice saying all the stupid things I’m putting it off.)
The sitting president of the United States talked about Kanye West and Shania Twain and was completely serious about it
“Mr. President, we want to get to Kanye West,” one of the show’s anchors said like it was a completely normal thing to discuss with a US president.
The day before, West, a rapper, showed off how Trump autographed a “Make America Great Again” hat for him and then wrote on Twitter: “You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother.”
Trump then tweeted back his thanks.
On Fox News Thursday morning, Trump said the reason why Kanye likes him is because unemployment for African Americans is so low. He did not elaborate, nor mention that the decline has slowed since Trump took office.
“He sees that stuff and he’s smart,” Trump explained. “He says, you know what? Trump is doing a much better job than the Democrats did.”
The president then talked about how earlier in the week Canadian country singer Shania Twain said she would have voted for Trump had she been registered in the US. She later apologized, but subsequently said it was a mistake for her to have done so.
Next time let’s elect Bart Simpson president.
Oh god, I did watch/listen to a bit, and it’s even crazier than I expected. The Fox people are wincing. He sounds hopped up and CRAZY. Frantic, nuts, manic, out of control. Crazy.
He’s ranting and raving about CNN – they’ll have a panel of seven people and every single one is against him – that’s when the host cuts in to say I’m not your doctor but I recommend not watching. There’s a pause while the Fox people hold their breath and then Trump shouts “I don’t watch them at all!” The Fox people suppress laughter and Trump lurches into a breathless rant about how awesome he is because he can make himself not watch.
“So, how did it go?
Well, as show cohost Steve Doocy said after Trump got off the phone, “I think he was awake and had a lot to say!””
It’s funny – I’ve been seeing a number of comments all over teh interwebs today, saying OMG he sounds drunk but he doesn’t drink so…shrug. To which I wonder, why does anyone believe him when he says he doesn’t drink, when he lies about literally everything else?
Did he keep the ball-bearings in his pocket?
