The Unchallenged President and that CNBC interview.

Joe Kernen of CNBC is a lightweight and his interview of Trump might as well have been on Fox news.
Trump complains and complains about TPP and NAFTA.
Not ONCE does Kernen ask Trump for ONE THING he thinks is wrong or needs to be fixed in either deal.
He asks a question and lets Trump talk about whatever the fuck he wants for a minute and then just moves on.
Joe Kernen, you are today's Top Idiot on the Idiot Index.
Guy looked like a moron next to Trump and that's not easy.

I'd give anything to interview him on camera. He would run away in about 89 seconds.... TeamPooka Jan 2018 #2

Dotard never discusses specifics. He is incapable.

It's always only hyperbolic generalities.

did you watch/listen to yesterday's "press conference"?

they (one woman in particular) stood up to him and his "let me respond with a question to change the subject" act. he answered his own question, then folded like a tent and said he'd testify under oath.
