Discussion: Trump Can't Help But Interrupt In First Joint Interview With Pence

Pence said that he wrote the essay "a long time ago."

In a galaxy far, far away?

No matter how bad it gets, he can always think about Carly Fiorina and have a hearty laugh.

My guess is no
Pence won’t be giving many interviews. Their campaign schedule is NOT including the traditional 3 days to a week of campaigning together as one indication. Trump is going through the motions of what is required, and, while I haven’t seen the whole interview, obviously, I suspect his irritation shines through brightly.

Trump doesn’t like Pence as his running mate, and he doesn’t like that Manafort and his kids backed him into a corner and made him choose. They are trying desperately to keep him under the wraps until the nomination is confirmed in Cleveland, but it seems pretty obvious that Trump is just itching to get off his leash and go wild.

And when he does, Pence is going to be one of victims
I have very little doubt about that.

Well, yeah, a lot of the Donald’s supporters are not the smartest. But I say follow the money. Perfectly intelligent people will vote with their pocketbooks in mind and the hell with the rest of Trump’s baggage. Taxes!! Shriek!! Even tho these people have more than enough of the pie slices.

How can anyone watch Donald Trump and NOT SEE how emotionally, psychologically, ethically and morally damaged, deviant and dishonest he is?

Kudos to Mehmeisterjr for this little gem: â™Ș┏(・o)┛â™Ș┗ ( o) ┓â™Ș

Sing a song of Mike Pence,
A pocket full of “why?”
Four-and-twenty Klansmen,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
It smelled just like a dump.
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before King Trump?

raph, I think what Trump has is called malignant narcissism. I’d never heard the term before but it does seem to fit his most extreme version of NPD.

Malignant Narcissism

Malignant narcissism is a psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, aggression, and sadism. Often grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels, the malignant narcissist undermines organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate.

There is nothing about Trump that doesn’t appear malignant

These exchanges piss me off to no end as the interviewer will never take after Trump and really put it to him, if lies bother him so much then why does he do it constantly. Will trump commit to 100% honesty moving forward. That simple of a question would give me some relief from this high blood pressure.

I have never seen him challenged on it and it’s such an obvious question that demands a response. Now the larger question is why the press is not holding Trump to the fire.

Welcome to the real world, Mike. I don’t know who is the bigger asshole loser
him for picking you or you for accepting.

Just saw a post about this new book about Trump at Political Wire.

The “critical” reviews are mostly hilarious.

Gotcha, to me it’s often a way of accenting the horror by introducing a ludicrously mocking element to it, a nightmarish quality. Great effect if you can do it right.

Stahl tried to interject, but Trump continued to talk.


At all times and in all situations trump must dominate, even with a female reporter. Even when it results in a blunder.

It’s a great question and one a lot of people ask every hour of every day. This is how unengaged and stupid (cough) our electorate is.
