“What do you think? You tell me,” Trump said to the Times reporter.
Trump told Martin he doesn’t have a “preference” for who should become the next speaker.
He didn’t have a preference. Or any knowledge to base a preference on. He’s slicker than Palin, he doesn’t try to make it up, he just throws it back on you as if he’s playing his cards close to his chest.
The values voters run to meet Dig Door
Any and all of them…Clueless Dump
He doesn’t have a preference because he doesn’t have a clue who the hell is in office. He doesn’t even understand the implications of this decision and what it means moving forward for the very Conference whose nomination he’s trying to win. ignorance truly is bliss
“What do you think? You tell me,” Trump said to the Times reporter.
Terrorist leaders, Arab nation leaders, U.S. House members......there's too many names!!!!
Trump is so clueless–he does not know what the Speaker of the House does, he has no idea why Boehner resigned, and he does not know the names of who might replace him.
Agreed M. I guess these( reporters ?)really don’t want to get it.
A good reporter should challenge Trump to name any House member other than Boehner, including his own Rep.
“A big decision?” Not a yuuuuuuuuuge decision? What’s up?
“What do you think? You tell me,”
LOL. He doesn’t know any of their fucking names.
Haha…yep. If the reporter engaged him and dropped a name or two, Derpy would’ve had some generic and vague pandering statements about the people mentioned…“he’d be a good pick, but I’'m not sure he’s right for the job…we’ll have to see how it shakes out”…or “why does it have to be a guy?”…or “ah, I was thinking that too…they’re both certainly qualified.”
Oh, they get it. Most experienced reporters would know perfectly well when they’re being bullshitted. You can say he evaded the question, or dodged it, or declined to answer. But if you try to trap him into proving he’s clueless you won’t interview him again and your editor has to assign someone else to a beat that’s currently boosting the reporter’s career. This is the reporter who said the other day that the room was one-third empty, and Trump called him a liar. But it’s the Times, after all, and even Trump doesn’t want to blow them off. Everyone plays the game, you know?
Crap. And here I was enjoying the sweetness of the Boner’s early resignation.
FAKE names. Need to drop a fake name or two and watch as Trump-steak endorses/bashes the non-existent House rep. Get Jimmy Kimmel on line 2!
For sure, he’s not stupid. Smarter than Palin, and better able to work around his own ignorance, warier about stepping on that third rail. Gotta give him credit. But he’s playing with fire, crossing swords with people who’ve dealt with politics and policy most of their lives.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. What… is your name?
Sir Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest?
Galahad: I seek the Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What… is your favourite colour?
Sir Galahad: Blue----no! [he is thrown over the edge] YEELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!
He probably reads all the newspapers too…goddamn what a clueless BSing fuck in so many ways…
Trump makes these guys look like geniuses!
