2. Dude was coughing a signal to Trump and Donnie missed it completely.

[Captain Zero]

8. yup, had to be. NT

[Capt. America]

14. My thought exactly. The moron.

[PJMcK]

28. My thought, too

Trump is so self-absorbed that he didn't realize Mulvaney was warning him.

Trump is an idiot.

[Midnight Writer]

3. I wonder if Mulvaney has a stained blue shirt in his closet?

[NYC Liberal]

4. I love his answer to the question though.

"I want people to see my finances. They're better than anyone knows."
"So are you going to release them?"
"It's not up to me. It's up to lawyers."

What?

[Historic NY]

5. The coughing meant to STFU, apparently El Trumpo didn't get it/

[calimary]

24. This.

6. rump complained how that interrupted his shot. It's just a fucking tv shit show. The dumb

asshole thought they would edit that out...he went and did a take 2...WHAT THE FUCK.

[eShirl]

18. Reagan thought he was in a movie, Trump thinks he's in a TV show.

10. The trump show season 2

thanks for the clip

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Trump is the first president not parodied in that...

...Hitler meme where he dismisses everyone and lambastes the rest in a deranged fit of rage.

It just wouldn't be absurd enough to be funny.

[certainot]

11. background: mulvaney once told limbaugh in interview he was a proud 'rush baby' - he grew up on

on limbaugh's knee.

stephen miller said limbaugh wrote one of the most important books he ever read!

the trump team studied talk radio in 2014, and most everything trump does came out of limbaugh's ass months and years ago

trump is a dick and his servile staff are idiots

19. Too many Americans have swallowed that shit for decades...

Hate radio jabbering away in the car or workshop, Fox “news” as a nightlight, telling listeners how their troubles are ALL the fault of the godless, immoral (!) and Marxist Democrats. The formula is a steady diet of fear, rage; fear, rage; fear, rage, etc., ad nauseam.

In their fucked-up world, history itself has been re-written, and measurable, objective facts are completely dismissed: Hitler was a liberal, Obama is a Muslim, Trump is a god-hero, the moon-landings never happened, and the Iraq conflict meant “fighting them over there instead of fighting them here.”

It’s all a total load of horseflop; but, unfortunately, too many Americans are intellectually challenged enough to actually buy into this market-checkout-tabloid level of propaganda, without any fact-checking whatsoever. All of which is befitting an out-and-out cult.

[certainot]

22. yep. unfortunately, liberals/democrats believe RWTR is just free speech and american demand

for hate and lies instead of a well protected propaganda monopoly that makes real democracy impossible, may have been used extensively by the kremlin for at least a decade, and could easily be broken up by using artificial intelligence-enhanced transcription to digitize and analyze it and force the ad industry to finally apply real market demand to it.

[VOX]

25. Excellent analysis and potential solution.

Let's hope that we live to see the demise of the "well-protected propaganda monopoly." (Perfect name for that hateful creation.)

[They_Live]

12. His clown makeup look

is getting worse all the time.

[Marie Marie]

17. I know - look at those white rings around his eyes...

[They_Live]

13. and I'm really glad this clip has been released

it is obvious that tRump thought that it would be deleted from the record.

[SCantiGOP]

16. I detest Mulvaney

I interacted with him several times when he was a Congressman, but then he turned into a full-blown gutless pig when he climbed up Trump’s ass. I am so glad to hear him get humiliated like this.
No One who works for Trump can have a shred of self-respect.

[kentuck]

20. After all, he was the Director...

He wanted everyone to be in their places before the cameras rolled...

[malaise]

21. This MoFo is a Con, a crook

and a LIAR

[calimary]

23. I wonder if Mulvaney was trying to send trump a signal not to get into this.

And as usual, nobody tells trump what to do.

Was it an actual coughing fit? Or was Mulvaney trying to signal something else to his boss?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Was wondering the same thing.

Trump: "Well, of course I would have been happy to meet with Putin himself if he had dirt on Hillary...."

Mulvaney: *cough*

Trump: "Stop coughing in the middle of my answer, Mulvaney! I was about to explain how meeting with Putin to get dirt on Hillary, for which I'd offer him a penthouse in the Trump Moscow hotel, wouldn't be collusion..."

Mulvaney: *cough, cough*

Trump: "Get out of here, Mulvaney. You're interrupting my interview. Now, as I was saying..."

[Thomas Hurt]

27. Don't interrupt him when he is on tv and don't get between Trump and camera crew.
