You know the definition of chutzpahsomeone who kills their parents then asks the court for mercy because theyre an orphan? Donald Trump is looking to give that definition some competition. A recording has surfaced of Trump pretending to be his own publicist in a 1991 call with a reporter. Thats something Trump did regularly back in the day, but of course he doesnt want to admit it now, because yes, I pretended to be my own publicist to fluff myself even more to the press than Im comfortable doing under my own name, even though Im a total narcissist is not the most flattering thing to say about yourself, and again, narcissist.
Asked about that recording by the Today show Friday morning, Trump repeatedly denied having posed as publicist John Miller. Thats moderate chutzpah, considering we can all listen to the recording and hear for ourselves that its Trump talking, but heres the real deal:
When was this, 25 years ago? Wow, you mean youre going so low as to talk about something that took place 25 years ago about whether or not I made a phone call I guess youd say under a presumed name
lets get on to more current subjects.
Why are you asking me about stuff from 25 years ago, says the man whos made clear that one of his major lines of attack against Hillary Clinton will be over stuff her husband did in the 1990s. Her husband was the one who cheated, but hey, she was, says Trump, a nasty, mean enabler. But while Clintons response to her husbands actions is fair game as a campaign centerpiece, reporters asking Trump about his tawdry habit of pretending to be his own publicist is so low. Trump better get used to being asked about things from 25 years ago, though, because there is plenty in his record thats worthy of scrutiny.
