“Trump did ‘as much as he could’ to suggest in an interview that he would back Duke.”

Uneasy lies the head that wears the hood.

Hicks continued: “If you want to continue to waste our time with these questions, we will happily address them and allocate our resources for real stories pertaining to Mr. Trump’s candidacy for President of the United States and his message to the American people elsewhere.”

A cursory intrepretation of her words would indicate the campaign will address Haberman's questions despite feeling they're a waste of time.

The Donald is just so incredibly modest that he does not want to take any credit or steal the spotlight from David Duke.

The Donald is so humble.

How humble you ask?

No one on Earth can even come close to the immense and yuuuuuge humility of this man!!!

“I’m the most modest and humble person you’ll ever meet. I’m the most modest and humble person who’s ever run for President. You wouldn’t believe how modest and humble I am. Have I mentioned that I’m worth TEN BILLION DOLLARS?”

I wonder how many organizations or journalists he can ban before he realizes he isn’t getting the publicity oxygen he craves so badly?

Then again, if our media had any balls, they’d blackball him.

If I were her editor, I’d suggest saying all right, bugger David Duke, why the fuck is Russia hacking the DNC’s server and releasing the results in ways that help you, you traitorous fuck? How much money have you gotten from Russian oligarchs in the past 15 years? Why do your policies include things that are exactly what Putin would wish? And where the fuck are your tax returns?

No, but this is:

Lesley Stahl: You’re not known to be a humble man. But I wonder–

Donald Trump: I think I am, actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.

From the end of this interview.

Geez. And everyone thought Nixon keeping an “enemies list” was bad. Trump is Nixon on steroids. Trump is a sociopathic version of Nixon’s merely neurotic one.

It doesn’t matter what Trump or his flacks do. The Times can always write: " We sent our questions to the campaign and they refused to answer." Which is absolutely factually true…
