Toe-curlingly bad television: Trump’s torturous town hall backfires on CNN

The nausea came gradually, then suddenly, and with disconcerting familiarity. We had been flung back in time to the political hellscape of 2016. Only the second time around, it was somehow worse.

Donald Trump, the former US president appearing on CNN for the first time since that fateful election year, lied and lied and lied. He was a leviathan of lying, a juggernaut of junk, an ocean liner of mendacity that left little boats of truth spinning and overturning in its wake.

The Guardian :rofl2:
 
From The clips I've seen it was quite the win ....a very enthusiastic receptive audience for the president... and a moderator who just looked lost... I wonder if she still has a job this morning...;)
The left is nauseated because it was a huge win for Trump

I have always been the first to admit that I vote entirely on the basis of policy position
and not even the slightest on the personal characteristics of the candidates.

First, it's the policies, not the person, who's going to affect my life.

Second, anybody with any real strong character traits will,
as a politician,
never be able able to make him/herself known or recognized
beyond his/her own precinct of his/her home town.

I assume we may all agree on this where it comes to politicians.

That said, I've got to speak about personal characteristics anyway.



The President of the United States, for better or worse, has a second job beyond being the national government's chief executive.

The President is also head of state.

In addition to his/her responsibility to preside over the cabinet,
he/she must do all the ceremonial crap that the King or Queen has to do,
or the President instead of the Prime Minister or Chancellor has to do,
in other nations.

POTUS, then, is also the face of America to the world.

And for four years, we had Donald Pigfucker Tump as our face to the world.

I will be honest.
I was certain--absolutely certain--
that I would never see a POTUS as humiliating to the American people as the idiot Dubya Bush was.

I confess--I was horribly wrong.

Along came Trump, the pigfucking orangutan, to say,
Hold my beer.

Donald Trump could only aspire in vain to have the dignity of an ape throwing his feces through the air.
He would more closely be put on the level of the parasites crawling around in the ape excrement.

What level of living organism, therefore,
would a Trump admirer need to be?

If we see some mutant walking about in a MAGA cap, what are we to think of such an individual?
What do we think about a "person" who found Donald Trump to be an appropriate face of America to the world?

Politalker the Pollyanna once said that we should forgive the Trump voters and try to come togethervas a nation
It is for precisely that reason that I will never forgive Politalker anymore than I would forgive anybody who ever voted for Trump.

My name if Nifty, not Jesus. I'm not available to forgive everybody.
I feel that "irredeemable" is a real thing.

Backfired ? Hardly.
CNN has ratings problems. They fixed that last night.
Mission accomplished.
