Trump supporters, what have you to say about the interview in the New Yorker?

[Whateverist]

What an ass hat the man is.  So ignorant, so ugly.  How can anyone vote for this pig?

In June, he agreed to break his silence and give his first candid interview about the Trump he got to know while acting as his Boswell.

“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”

After Trump gave him a tour of his marble-and-gilt apartment atop Trump Tower—which, to Schwartz, looked unlived-in, like the lobby of a hotel—they began to talk. But the discussion was soon hobbled by what Schwartz regards as one of Trump’s most essential characteristics: “He has no attention span.”

Schwartz believes that Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.” During the eighteen months that he observed Trump, Schwartz said, he never saw a book on Trump’s desk, or elsewhere in his office, or in his apartment.

Schwartz says of Trump, “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth,” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.”

As long as he promises to shoot minorities on sight they won't care.

They won't even care if he's lying about that.


It's just what the fuckers want to hear.

Interview reveals a Ronald Reaganesque type of processing in Trump's head.

Might not put off supporters if they catch the drift.

I guess it shows that Trump is like a good Roscharch test. To some people, he is appealing. To others, a beast. Completely different images.

"That rat bastard!" lol

Everybody has an opinion on Trump. I don't think he'd make a bad president so much as an ineffective one. His tactics are unlikely to be as successful on that stage.

[Neo-Scholastic]

One of the arguments against Reagan was that he would start a nuclear war. Ironically he was President at the end of the Cold War. It is hard to take any pundit seriously when he or she uses threat of holocaust as a reason oppose the other party.

I think Mr. Schwartz put lipstick on a lot of pigs.

[Whateverist]

He did do a remarkable job for a pig-lipsticking virgin.

Huh? You think the Donald was his first?

As far as I know, but then I don't usually go in for any of that he-said, she-said stuff.
