If you need a good laugh at Donald's expense today - watch this from 1990

[kpete]

If we still had Helen Thomas sitting in the briefing room and Barbara Walters in an interviewer’s chair, it might be/already have been easier to unseat Donald Trump.

Transcript:

TRUMP: “I’ve never seen press reporting as I have with regard to me, and I hope the general public understands how inherently dishonest the press in this country is.”

WALTERS: “As a member of the press let me try to clear up some of the things that you say aren’t true. ‘My bankers and I worked out a terrific deal that allows me to come out stronger than ever. I see the deal as a great victory.’ Being on the verge of bankruptcy, being bailed out by the banks? [Crosstalk] Skating on thin ice and almost drowning? That’s a businessman to be admired?”

TRUMP: “You say on the verge of bankruptcy, Barbara, and you talk on the verge and you listen to what people say …”

WALTERS: “I talked to your bankers.”

TRUMP: Well, that’s fine. And what did they say? I mean, you know, depending on which banker you’re talking to, what did they say?

WALTERS: “Several.”

[...]

TRUMP: “Well, I don’t know what the bankers have said. The Plaza is a very valuable property. Everybody told me, oh, you paid too much, you paid too much, now they’re all saying what a great deal he made on the Plaza.”

WALTERS: “No they’re not.”
