‘Will See This Played at Trial’: Megyn Kelly Praised For Letting Trump ‘Confess’ During Interview
‘Will See This Played at Trial’: Megyn Kelly Praised For Letting Trump ‘Confess’ During Interview
Note that the praise was not especially earnest.
People think you have to go through a ritual. You don’t, at least in my opinion, you don’t.
This is my favorite part because on the surface it seems as if he’s stupid enough to think that tossing in a casual “you know, this is just like, my opinion bro” is going to shield him.
But I think what’s really going on here is Trump’s trying to prime the idea in his base that if he’s guilty of anything it’s just not understanding the law… Ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but it definitely wouldn’t stop him from getting his base to embrace it as the defacto talking point since he doesn’t have anything else.
Except when he was recorded talking to the reporter to whom he was showing the documents, he admitted to knowledge of the law.
people think you have to follow the law. You don't, at least I never do and nothing bad has ever happened to me!
It worked even on democrats when he was in the office.
That's why calling him stupid is so dangerous. Most people stupid get away with a lot of things.
Trump is classically stupid, in that he is uneducated, illiterate, and incurious. But there's more than one kind of intelligence, and he displays large amounts of cunning, conniving, and a sense of showmanship to impress and inspire other classically stupid people.
That's why writing him off is so dangerous.
See, I really think people should stop seeing some huge agenda in everything this guy and similar people say/do. He's just plain idiotic and it's plainly idiotic people voting for candidates like him. Still dangerous, but just dangerously dumb in the end.
It is hilarious that he and his followers think he can just "this is all a big misunderstanding" his way out of this.
Either he's the dumbest fucking person on the planet. Or he's really shitting bricks behind the scene.
I like Presidents that aren’t under Federal Indictment under the Espionage Act.
And this is why everyone says the defense in all his trials fights to keep him off the stand. He cannot help but incriminate himself. He can't stop bragging, including bragging about his crimes.
It's almost like he is a textbook narcissist.
I don't think that's the reason. After observing him, it looks like his strategy whenever something bad is happening to either distract or with another controversy that is not visible as bad to his base, or if he knows about something that is upcoming, then first come up with own version and normalize it so it no longer has a shock value to his fans.
He didn't seem to have problem with keeping his mouth shut when testifying.
You’re being very generous about how much he understands the going-ons beyond what has to immediately do with him.
Which might work in the media, but not in court. In court, they keep coming back to the thing the trial is actually about.
Now, the other people that we talk about, including Biden, he wasn’t president. So what he did is a different standard. And he should have real problems. They really should be talking about that. Not about me. I did absolutely nothing wrong.
The level of cognitive dissonance here is just absolutely mind blowing.
I’ve got a question about the classified document case. Do you think I should get Jiffy Pop original or Orville Redenbacher microwave for my nightly news recaps?
Get the Kirkland Brand Movie Theater Popcorn with Butter from Costco - it's great popcorn, is cheap, and comes in the mega-pack size you are going to need to get through all the cases.
This is the way. Stove popcorn tastes better, is crunchier, cheaper, and it won't go stale for at least a day, unlike microwave popcorn.
Love popcorn until a kernel husk slides down between my tooth and gums then I don't. White popcorn isn't as bad though.
Glass gem popcorn is my favorite.
I think you should go to the movie theater and buy some real popcorn for the RICO case in GA
Since that's the only one that'll be shown live on TV.
Buy an oil popper.
Then go buy butter flavored coconut oil
Enjoy your movie theater level popcorn at a fraction of the cost.
You should get Pop Qwiz - the stuff from the early 90s that came in different colors and you’d find out what it was when you opened the bag.
One of those giant cans of butter, caramel, and cheese popcorn.
Bruh. Make ur own and add 1/4-1/2c of sugar to it to make kettle corn.
The man cannot even put together a single coherent sentence.
A Republican intellectual!
You don’t, at least in my opinion, you don’t.
Did you murder this guy? "Well in my opinion, stabbing a guy 50 times with a knife isn't killing him, he just decided to stop breathing by himself, at least in my opinion."
The law doesn't give a shit about your opinion you shit stain
