...his fucking 'supporters' are a minority who are fast becoming paraiahs among a clear majority of Americans appalled by his performance in office.

This prevaricating and cruelty just confirms what most now believe, that Trump isn't interested in changing course on any of the things he's being reviled for in the polls.

He's still pushing tariffs?

Talking about China?

Talking about the stock market instead of groceries?

Railing against Joe Biden, the former president that just got a lifetime achievement award today from the Kennedy Institute, I believe?

This was a huge self-own that's going to repeatedly bite him in the ass.

Americans are not going to be voting in favor of ANY of the rationalizations he gave in that interview for the way he's fucked the nation in just 9 months.


NORAH O'DONNELL: But so you're saying your plan is to tell the Democrats to vote the-- to end the shutdown.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Correct, very simple.

NORAH O'DONNELL: And that you will put forward a healthcare plan?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No. We will work on fixing the bad healthcare that we have. Right now, we have terrible healthcare and too expensive for the people, not for the government, for the people.

NORAH O'DONNELL: But Mr. President, with all due respect--

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The people are paying--

NORAH O'DONNELL: --you've been talking about fixing the healthcare insurance plan since 2015--


...good god.
