I really was expecting him to walk out too, but I suppose he knew that Barbara Walters was too big and the footage would be seen by millions of people.

What a piece of work. He gets so indignant whenever someone doesn't buy his ridiculous lies.

He's been a smarmy fucker and a short-fingered vulgarian for decades. Best part of the excerpt is the former guy trying to rewrite his personal history and how all these people are telling him what a shrewd deal he made, and Walters simply saying, "No, they're not."

I forgot she was like this. I know I saw lots of her interviews, back in the day, but I don't remember much, just because it was so long ago.

This was really hard-hitting; she didn't let him get away with a thing! Nice work, Barbara!

And I must say, it's interesting that 32 years ago, he already had that pudgy, doughy face and was doing those anus-mouth facial expressions! And his hair...I think I can confidently state that he has never, in his adult life, had good hair. Not because of his hair having inherently bad qualities, but because he has never known what to do with it or had enough sense to hire a good hair stylist to work with it.

He is truly pathetic.

As if we need one. Obvious lying. He judges everyone by bigoted criteria, especially if he's accepting a gift, reading a book he received from them, and talking about it.

Can you imagine a Jew giving that as a gift *and* not mentioning their Judaism one way or another?

He knows the person is not Jewish and yes, he absolutely thinks claiming the gifter was Jewish inoculates him from an accusation of antisemitism.

Never mind that hitler's speeches are disturbing on more grounds than just antisemitism....


In truth, I'm Jewish and have read some of hitler's speeches. The problem is his response (refusing to denounce hitler, lying, distraction through bigotry) basically confirms that he read the book for content and as an instruction manual rather than as a cautionary tale.

and humiliated her via the affair with Marla Maples.

Don actually sided with his mother (just like Rudy's son sided with his mom when Rudy cheated and left her).

But those sons have a way of coming around to the fathers' way of thinking, don't they?

If that were Chump being interviewed in 2022, he would have screamed his head off and then gotten up and walked out. He actually had better manners in 1990 when he did this interview with Barbara Walters.

Ironically about this interview though, Barbara made the assumption that he actually WROTE the book that made him famous "The Art of the Deal." We now know that Chump didn't write a word of it, the ghostwriter Tony Schwartz wrote the entire thing.

Chump's three Atlantic City casinos were all bankrupted and closed in 1991 and 1992. Plus his Plaza Hotel was bankrupted and closed in 1992. So Barbara had the goods - Chump was very nearly washed up when she did this interview with him.

Journalism (love that clip Mrs. Walters was in complete control)… journalism but as long as news departments are expected to make a profit we won’t. That’s why DT was not allowed to pull the BS he does now back then the news was not beholden to a profit margin. Cronkite never had to worry about access to people or being “left out” as is the case now with Journalists in this country in other countries journalists have to worry about being defenestrated we are not there yet we came real close Jan 6.

But- I have a question.

Jan 6th is undoubtedly an unprecedented criminal act.
A sitting president invited an attack on his own people then held back support for the Capitol defenders this is criminal…and worthy of investigation and charges if applicable which they clearly are….but this was one event. Planning took place over weeks but actual event start to finish was 1 day.

Daily for 2 yrs DT his admin and a number of GOP congress members actively and knowingly abused their positions of authority and lied about the deadly nature of COVID. Trump is on tape admitting to Bob Woodward in the interview tapes that he knew C19 was deadly but calling a hoax because he wanted to “play it down”…

DT and those around him who enabled him killed over 1 MILLION Americans by at best criminal negligence or worse premeditated murder. There has still been no investigation into where all that PPE went, the issues with ventilators and numerous other actions DTs admin took that several governors were on the record about the road blocks and interference the admin did because DT didn’t want even testing done.

IMO this crime far out weights anything that actually happened on Jan 6 yet it is not ever mentioned by anyone…1 Million Americans. This is the biggest single death event ever in Americas history. No war or any other individual tragedy has ever taken so many American lives. GOP went nutz over the loss of 4 Americans in Benghazi….not one peep out of any of the GOP for the 1 million they sat by silently and let happen.
