I really wish the interviewer either
a) pointed out that it was Trump’s job to know about these groups
b) pointed out that he shouldn’t use the power and prestige of the office to disseminate things he knows nothing about
or
c) told him what Britain First stood for, then asked him to disavow them, or not.

I am tired of journalists just asking questions and then letting lies, misdirection, and distortion fly with no effort at clarifying the truth.

And if you notice, Trump never apologized, even though the interviewer thanked him for it.
He hypothetically apologized, then said he would have nothing to do with people like that, IF they were really like that, which he never acknowledged.

And he gets away with it.

What a confession. The President of the US retailing slime from someone he knows nothing about. Incompetence, at best.

Dunderhead.

His answers speak for themselves. The journalist did his job; he presented Trump’s ignorance. Those who don’t see that would also be unlikely to believe it even if the journalist explained it to Trump.

What I want to know is where and who is Col. Klink in all of this?

He established that he knows nothing during the campaign and lies …makes things up…with abandon. …

Nothing interesting here…

Admittedly a tired meme, but it’s a 60s thing we old shits find endearing.

The saddest part of all is that we have a Current Occupant whose antics spontaneously spur more than a few of us to think immediately of this TV character.

(I may just lack imagination, but I cannot come up with a comic character that reminds me of Obama…)

I guess he forgot to ask Stephen Miller, who has a candle-lit shrine to the leader of ā€œBritain Firstā€ in his office closet.
And who does that fucker Trump think he’s fooling? He has no credibility on any matters of bigotry and racism since his despicable comments after Charlottesville.
Foolish fool!

Trump rejected any notion that he would be responsible for the dissemination of the videos since he merely retweeted them.

Just add it to the list of things Trump didn’t know, doesn’t know how they work, and I guess how his staff shield him from all the "unpleasantness he creates.

If there was a CEO of a major company who continuously issued ill-conceived communications like this - the Board of Directors would fire him in a heartbeat.

Here, let me fix that headline: Turmp Claims He Knows ā€˜Nothing’. That is not Fake News. You’re welcome.
