Qatar Bigly Yuge Flying Bordello UPDATE: Trump arrives at the "You should be embarrassed for asking me about it" stage.

“What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” The reporter asked. “Why not leave it behind?”

Trump cut the reporter off. “You are ABC fake news, right? Only ABC would — well, a few of you would ask that question.”

He added, “Let me tell you. You should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I can say no, no, no, don't give us — I want to pay you a bill again, or 400 million or whatever it is, or I can say thank you very much.”

My Dad: why are there empty beer cans in the bed of your truck?

Me: You should be embarrassed asking that question

As I recall, the conversation went just a little different, with appropriate adjudication. My Dad was quite particular about appropriateness.

Trump deflecting the truth with a chump attitude.

Or the threat to national security and his personal security.

All he can see is that someone is giving him something very expensive.
And he wants to take it immediately.

He is like a young child.

It's a "tell."

When he addresses the accusations...even in an indirect manner...he's acknowledging that he's aware of them, but saying they shouldn't apply to him.

I don't think any of his goons...people like Bondi, who hatched the idea to "have it go to his presidential library"...have held anything back from him.

John Roberts said "YOU ARE KING"...more accurately, that's what Trump HEARD...and Trump's thinking "A KING NEEDS A KINGLY BIGLY YUGE PLANE WITH GOLD IN IT, AND A FOUNTAIN."

He is actively bullying the press to humiliate and intimidate them. He has no intention of being accountable or transparent and he keeps himself from having to answer to anything he wants to keep to himself by bullying. He is a criminal who is busy 'criming' all the time.
