Utter WTF

[The Blue Flower]

1. Poor baby

He's crumbling

[Karma13612]

2. Hopefully

We will see a full meltdown tonight.

[unblock]

3. Not only can't he handle tough questions, he can't even handle the heads up about tough questions!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Exactly the point! Wow, the Strong Man is a w e a k m a n , a snowflake. . . . nt

[yonder]

12. +1.

[Nevilledog]

13. Ha!

[Squinch]

64. This. What a whiny creep.

[Boogiemack]

71. He can't stand up to any strong, smart woman...like most misogynist. nt

[Squidly]

4. waaaaaaa. waa waaaaaaaa

[underpants]

5. Being the incumbent has advantages and disadvantages

Advantages include making non-campaign speeches from the Oval or from behind the POTUS emblem, arriving on Air Force One, always having the attention of the media, public displays of governing and policy.

Disadvantages include having a record and a history to defend.

[NJCher]

81. using the office for campaign speeches

Advantages include making non-campaign speeches from the Oval or from behind the POTUS emblem

I believe this is illegal, isn't it? But nobody ever stops him.

[underpants]

84. The Hatch Act doesn't apply to the POTUS

the POTUS is always engaged in politics in some way.

[dalton99a]

6. Ok, President Snowflake

26. Haha

[sheshe2]

7. Whine. Whine. Whine.

😳

[Walleye]

9. Do his followers think that this is what a strong, tough guy looks like.?

[durablend]

29. Yes

Because most of them are just as pathetic as he is.

[Mariana]

42. This is exactly what appeals to his followers.

He's validating their entire worldview when he does this. They've been told for decades that the world is against them and that they're being persecuted all the time in the media, for being male, for being white, for being Christian, for being "conservative", etc. etc. etc. They never get tired of hearing it. So, when Trump complains about how unfair everyone in the media is to him, they really do relate to that.

It was the same in 2008, when Sarah Palin whined incessantly for weeks on end about "gotcha questions" from the media. They absolutely loved that and it made her more popular with them than ever.

[Windy City Charlie]

46. Exactly

Exactly. He knows how his followers hate the mainstream media, and he's simply acting out for them. I think they feel the idea of doing something like this will energize his base to vote. They must think Trump's base is larger than it actually is.

[Mariana]

58. You know, I don't even think he's intentionally playing for them.

Barbara Walters interviewed him in 1990, and he sounded exactly like he does today.

[volstork]

80. And most of these people, just like him,

have been unable to achieve any success because they treat others like crap, renege on their word, and do shoddy work. He just reinforces their pathologies, because he was willing to do anything and screw anyone in order to stay afloat.

[Ftrump]

56. See for yourself, if you have the intestinal fortidude - beware, there be freaks here

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3896801/posts

[SergeStorms]

70. No thanks.

I'm not going to add to their click count. I already know what a fetid swamp that place is, and they still haven't changed that crappy format (at least the last time I knew) they've been using since day one.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. Poor baby

[Docreed2003]

11. What a thin skinned prick of a human being

[gohuskies]

14. Whiny Man Baby alert

Thin skinned mendacious and utterly demented idiot who has run the United States into the reef. A total and complete liar and loser. His fall will be a glorious day for all sane Americans. His Jonestown-like cult of believers will simply follow him over the cliff. Be safe everyone because he is going full scorched earth in his final months in the White House.

[OMGWTF]

49. THIS!!!!

[Tanuki]

15. Wow, how humiliating that this is our "head of state."

Can't handle a few "tough" interview questions, obviously can't handle a pandemic. He is as useless in his role as his latest wife is in hers....even more useless, actually.

[moonscape]

16. And 45 released this? LOL! n/t

[smirkymonkey]

17. What a pathetic whiner!

All he ever gets are softball questions, and when someone actually challenges him, he throws a tantrum.

This is what his cult members see as strong and manly? Hah! What a joke!

[pandr32]

18. Any question is tough in his mind because he does not operate with truth

...so he balks at them all, and he sees Biden easily answer questions so in Trump's mind they must all be 'softballs".
For once I would like to hear an interviewer ask him what he means by "being fair" to him. Just what does he think fair means anyway?

This man-baby is treated more than "fair" because he is handled with kid gloves. He has to be treated like a fragile object.

[5X]

19. As I thought...

no surprises, just typical dotard.

[calguy]

20. This isn't really the way to close out a campaign

I wonder his closing arguments are going to be?
" Re-elect me folks because I'm very good at arguing with everyone who asks me questions? "
His campaign, it's all over except for counting the votes and watching him cry about it.

[colsohlibgal]

21. What A Whiny Display

Baby must need a nap.

He knows he is losing badly, maybe historically, so he’s acting out like a 2 year old.

[3catwoman3]

22. A brief excerpt from the 2015 Vanity Fair article by Graydon Carter.

Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret.

Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

[spooky3]

36. As someone with abnormally stubby fingers myself,

I think it’s hilarious that he’s so sensitive about it. All it did for me was keep me from being an advanced piano student and anything above average tennis player. Shouldn’t keep anyone from being a decent human being.

[Blue_playwright]

79. I have stubby fingers, too

It just got me out of piano lessons when I was 8!!

[PubliusEnigma]

23. Nobody likes him! Everybody hates him! He'll just go shit in his pants.

[sop]

24. People like Trump can't be interviewed, they need to be waterboarded.

Probably the only way to get anything resembling the truth.

[Tommymac]

35. I'd settle for a 12 day Silent Timeout in the corner.

He act's like a 12 year old, treat him like one.

[Baked Potato]

25. Whoever voted for this rude doofus must carry the tragical burden for life.

His behavior is no surprise.

[honest.abe]

27. The stable genius!!!

[WyattKansas]

28. Donald Dumbass shows America why Republicans think there is a bias with reporters.

Because Donald Dumbass and Republicans think Democratic politicians get 'soft ball' questions whenever a Democratic politician is able to answer questions about policies and hard subjects, because Democratic politicians actually know what they are talking about and actually do the work required of them.

Biden and Democratic politicians do not go into interviews expecting the reporter to shower them with praises and hero worship crap, but they do make answering questions look easy with their knowledge of the question asked.

[Windy City Charlie]

30. I'm convinced

I'm convinced he knows he's going to lose on November 3. The whole strategy here is to complain about every little thing during campaign season, so he can sit there and say everyone was biased against him and that he didn't get a fair shot at winning. To make his base think it was stolen from him.

[russiamommy]

31. May be. a stupid question, but...

Is this the entire “interview”? 😳

[Jane Austin]

50. Pretty sure this is a piece of the unedited

footage trump had threatened to release.

It's stupid and weird because it's not edited.

[SunSeeker]

32. Why is Stahl even asking Trump if it's ok to ask him tough questions? WTF

This is not a fucking campaign ad. Asking a president tough questions IS HER JOB. Why is she asking him permission to do her job??

[thesquanderer]

47. I think it was rhetorical. Breaking the ice. She probably expected "of course!" n/t

[SunSeeker]

52. How about breaking the ice by asking him how he's feeling? He just had Covid-19.

That can segue into discussing Covid-19.

I am so sick of the media coddling him.

[Cha]

65. Right.. like Chris Wallace telling the Idiot

that he "would like this next question".. or something like that.

I couldn't watch the OP.. I can't stand to even look at his ugly ASSFACE if I don't have to.

So Mahalo, SunSeeker

[SunSeeker]

85. Me neither. I have tonight's debate recorded, but I can't bring myself to watch it.

[ecstatic]

86. Exactly! Unless it was a psychological tactic? Nt

[dflprincess]

33. Did she ask him how to spell his name? nt

[Illumination]

34. He's a woman hater...among many other things! "F" him!

:

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Whenever he gets cornered with something he doesn't like, he overturns the apple cart

Every time. Tonight could echo GHWB-Dan Rather, 1988 interview.

[hibbing]

38. What a weak person thinks a strong person looks like n/t

[Le Roi de Pot]

39. Person woman man WHINY BITCH

[Stuart G]

40. He gets up and then walks out...1 minute 36 seconds.....worth watching the because it shows

the end of Donald Trump's political career. Thanks for posting this...just 1: 36 seconds...

All women should see this..so he walks out on a very professional reporter.."

[ffr]

41. Welcome to reality, turd! Now you know why voters are FIRING you.

And we'll continue adding to the mountain of votes already cast, giving you your walking papers.

GET OUT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

[Cha]

68. That's right.. "GET OUT YOU PIECE Of SHIT".

Boom.

TY, frr

[Grokenstein]

43. Can't wait to see the toons

I really hope someone draws him as a toddler running away crying and screaming that the Bad Lady is being meeeeeeeean to him.

[Lonestarblue]

44. He's just an angry old man who can't hold on to his power--and that's why he's angry.

He knows he's losing, but somehow it isn’t his fault. It’s the mean, unfair media. It’s Hillary, or Obama, or Biden. It’s anyone but the person he sees in the mirror, who is a corrupt, mean spirited, little man—a cockalorum—and in his mind he’s at the top of the heap. Unfortunately for him, he climbed to the top of a dung heap thinking it was a mountain.

[LymphocyteLover]

45. trump is afraid of women, especially strong women

[struggle4progress]

48. People are saying. Very stapled penis. Many people. When I went to Water Read.

And they were amazed. The doctors. Amazed. I said, have you tried the staples? They never met anyone with such medical knowledge! We tried the hydroxycloroxquinine. We tried the bleach. So I said let's try the staples. What can it hurt? Very very stapled. Now I don't know. But that is what they say. Many many people. Very stapled.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. He's an arrogant, dominant, blowhard, New York style

He is also a control freak. Chest puffed out, no one is going to get the better of him!

[llmart]

53. What a boorish prick.

He always has to talk over everyone. He's one of those men who thinks if he just keeps flapping his lips and not letting anyone else get a word in edgewise, that he's coming off as brilliant.

Disgusting.

[Pepsidog]

54. Snowflake-let's cancel his sorry, flabby, orange ass.

[Joinfortmill]

55. Wow. Can't take the heat.

Debate should be interesting, if he even shows.

[George II]

57. What a whiny ass little punk.

[dchill]

59. K & R.

[yuiyoshida]

60. Bill Mahr Was right

"whiny little bitch" .

[DinahMoeHum]

61. Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

[Denvermosaic]

62. Trump is a coward, a whiner and a bullshitter

[marble falls]

63. Got his fweewings hurt, did he?

[VOX]

66. And Trumpers call US snowflakes? Their leader is an endlessly whining infant.

All he does is play the victim, all day, every day. What a miserable piece of shit.

[bucolic_frolic]

67. Alarming that he's still setting up the unfair angle, meaning he will contest the election

and create a scene even if he loses by big margins. We are in for a hard rain.

[unitedwethrive]

69. Wow...can't imagine anyone who wants a strong leader would see that in this man.

He seems like a scared, easily manipulated quitter.

[RVN VET71]

77. I tink Fox and friends will praise his gutsy refusal to kowtow to the woman

Seriously, what we see as a shiny ass bitch, Fox will see as a strong man putting a smart-ass female in her place. Of course, ironically, he allowed Ms Stahl to display her professionalism and ability to operate with aplomb while under fire from the shit-storm Trump was trying to stir up.

He did not get "tough" questions from her. He got honest questions from her, the sorts of questions any president, male or female, would be more than capable of handling. But not our big, fat little-boy Donnie.

If he and his fascist lieutenants are able to steal this election, America is over and done with for ever and all time and I will make damned sure my grandson knows who the villains were who killed it: hundreds of them, from Fatboy Donnie to Fatboy Barr to that traitor from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, to every goddamned member of the Republican Senate, every Republican Representative, the callous murderess, governor of North Dakota, ditto the Governors of Texas, Arizona, the dirtbag in Florida -- as well as the worthless criminal Medicare-raping Senator who looks like Bat Boy, etc., etc.

And I also want my grandson to know that the worse-than-third-world country he's living in was once legitimately striving to be that crystal city on the hill.

[Caliman73]

82. All in the eye of the beholder.

You and see a man of immense privilege who can't even stand up to the slightest scrutiny without whining like a pathetic loser.

His followers see a man "standing up to the elites" and pushing back.

It is pretty ridiculous that the "most powerful man in the world" would be such a whiny complainer, but Right wingers have been conditioned to believe that they are under constant threat. It is really sick. Unless they receive full deference to their world view, they feel and claim to be oppressed.

[Jim__]

72. There are no tough questions, just impotent interviewees.

[sdfernando]

73. does he need his "mommy" ???

seems I heard him say someone needed their mommy earlier in the interview.

[davsand]

74. I remember when 60 minutes was feared. Clearly, that has been forgotten.

I remember when it was such a standard thing that even Mad Magazine had cartoons about people climbing out windows to avoid talking to 60 minutes. I'll grant you that 60 minutes isn't quite as hard hitting as they used to be, but surely there was no thought that the interview was gonna be about his favorite McDonalds burger or the best KFC menu items.

He looks deranged in all the footage I've seen.



Laura

[matt819]

75. Wow. Just wow.

The only correct answer to Stahl's question would have been:

"I'm the president of the US, Leslie. I'm always ready for tough questions. Let's go."

What a whiny fucking moron.

[brettdale]

76. oh whats the matter trumpy

Did the big bad wimmin say something mean. Do you need a wambulance.

[kacekwl]

78. Sounds like 40 of the 45 minutes

we're spent whining and moaning.

[fishwax]

83. what a baby

[Vivienne235729]

87. And he wonders why he loses women voters. What a dick.
