I can see why Trump agreed to meet with Lester Holt. YIKES

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Trump might as well have gotten a spot on the air and given a speech. My dog could have asked better follow-up. Weak. Very weak. We were watching it an people were screaming at TV - "Ask him this ....!"

If anyone gets the idea/request to interview Dipshit - they should decline.

1. Trump admitted to obstructing justice during that interview. nt

[democratisphere]

2. Actually Lester tried many times with followup and clarification questions

and drumpf just talked over him and rambled on. drumpf always tries to control the conversation and if he can't, he'll just abruptly walk out.

[bdamomma]

5. that is how

immature and arrogant this man/child is. Why doesn't he just move to Russia since he pledges his allegiance to Russia.

[democratisphere]

6. Agreed. I'd even help him pack his bags.

[Grown2Hate]

14. Shit, I'll pay for his flight. EOM

[bigtree]

3. it's the most damning conversation from Trump yet

...keep up.

[malaise]

4. Holt was weak but the Con still incriminated himself big time

'obstruction of justice'.

[Wednesdays]

8. Exactly

Give 'em enough rope...

[malaise]

11. The Con is still the same man who invented personalities

to defend or promote himself. He has no control - he believes anything he does can be justified.

10. +1

7. Lester Holt was a disgrace when he had Hillary and trump on during the election run-up. He gave

trump a free pass, and dominated his conversation with Hilary regarding the Hillary, and double standard issues that he refused to confront trump on

Andrew Lack, head of NBC news encourage this double standard

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. When Trump said it was HIS decision - why didn't Holt say "Your Vice President said it was

because of the letter - why did he say that? - Did YOU lie to the VP, just like Flynn got fired for? "

"Was it also a lie that Flynn got fired for lying to the VP?"

18. Then Trump would have left...better to let him ramble and who give a flying

you know what about Pence...no doubt he is in it up to his eyeballs. He threw everyone who defended him under the bus...I thought it was a great interview.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Pence is an automaton

[Tatiana]

9. I thought he did a great job (intentional or not).

Trump incriminated himself BIGLY.

[OnDoutside]

12. Yes, intentional or unintentional, this interview will have huge ramifications for what Holt got out

of Trump.

[Hamlette]

15. Still, Trump destroyed himself.

[Demsrule86]

17. Sometimes it is best to get of the way when someone like Trump is running his oh so big

mouth.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. I think if LH planned that - ok - kudos - let him rant - don't ask anything sharp or probing ? A

combo of the two would have been perfect.

One thing I know is that Trump has zero idea that he is actually leading a country where there are laws, rules, and traditions. Before, all he had to do was say "buy me that building."
And if obstacles "screw him, make it happen."

what is astonishing is that he hasn't figured out it's a totally different world.

[Demsrule86]

16. I thought that interview was very revealing...Trump said a bunch

of crap that will follow him for the rest of his brief (hopefully) presidency. And the one with the Judge..even more so.

[oberliner]

19. It was a great interview

He managed to get Trump to say many incriminating things.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. If staying quiet and letting him free wheel spew is a strategy - guess it was ok, I guess :(
