Trump on 60 Minutes
November 14, 2016 at 10:57 am
(This post was last modified: November 14, 2016 at 10:59 am by Catholic_Lady.)
So here's Trump and his family being interviewed on 60 minutes. I haven't watched it yet, but am about to. Normally I would rather not listen to him talk, but I think this might be interesting, especially hearing what his family has to say about all this and how they can possibly defend him. Anyway, I'm hoping it's an unbiased source and that they ask him some good questions.
Here's a transcript of the introduction:
Quote:What we discovered in Mr. Trump’s first television interview as president-elect, was that some of his signature issues at the heart of his campaign were not meant to be taken literally, but as opening bids for negotiation.
Tonight, you will also hear from his family about whether they’ll play roles in a Trump presidency.
But we begin with President-elect Trump, whom we interviewed Friday in his penthouse home in the Trump Tower.

Has anyone seen this yet? What do ya'll think?

It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

His trying to be a nicer Trump, that's for sure. The way i see it, He is the President Elect whether we like it or not, so I hope he does a good job. I am worried about the Supreme court though, but maybe Ruth Joan Bader Ginsburg, who is 83 can hang on just a bit longer.

Kinda looks like the biggest victim of the biased media is the biased media.
They believed their own lies.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Taking forever for the video to start. Is this working for anyone else? I try again later.

It's working fine for me. Hopefully itll open up for you soon. They seem to be asking him the tough questions so far. I'm only about half way through.

He changes his opinions more often than his underwear.
So now let's look at the staff he selects, his cabinet and advisors. That will talk louder and carry more truth than anything he's actually running his mouth on. It actually will show the direction he's headed in.

He's already picked the head of the Republican National Committee to be his Chief of Staff.
To approximately quote an anonymous Trump campaigner, "He promised to drain the swamp, and he just hired the head alligator."
