Trump Wanted To Move Meetings So He Could Watch Rest Of Mueller Hearing

President Trump jokingly admitted that he thought about moving his meetings on Wednesday afternoon so he could watch the rest of special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before two House committees.

For me, the most alarming part of his interview with Hannity was his consistently referring to the investigation as treason. Oh well, just another day.

But, it is so nice that we have a president who is able to set aside 7+ hours of his workday to watch TV…

The nation has yet to collapse from within or fall off a ledge into the void. If nothing else Trump’s term can console us the office of President is possibly not as vital as many presume. Obviously doing nothing all day in the Oval Office is possible and the sun still rises the next morning.

What? Trump actually did some work??? On executive time???

And donnie boy …testifying and telling the truth is not treason. Colluding with a hostile foreign power to destroy our elections very well may be treason. Just so we are clear, donnie.

I doubt he rescheduled meetings to watch the hearing. Maybe “Tom & Jerry”, but nothing like the hearings which would require his full attention.

Mueller confirmed that you committed crimes, and your takeaway was it was “good television”? We have Sir Walter Elliott in the White House.

I’ll bet his definition of “meeting” is different than ours…

Donnie Moscow is of the belief that any publicity, good or bad, is good publicity, even if he is exposed as a Russian operative.

I wasn’t going to watch it all
Gee, I wonder if that was the first lie of all of them
I bet he didn’t miss a second and was oblivious to what was outside the tunnel vision straight to the tv screen.
This guy grows BS more than a 100 head of bulls.

Not only that he stayed glued to the TV for all of the Fox News post-hearing analysis. He probably spent all of an hour in the day not watching TV, and that was to take a dump and harangue someone on the phone about tee times.

Yeah, I know exactly how he feels. I absolutely hate it when my job gets in the way of my TV watching and rage Tweeting from the crapper.

Don’t knock it. Look at all the damage he has done with just a few minutes a week of paying attention to destroying the country.

Imagine how much worse it would be if he spent less time watching tv…

This deterioration does actually trouble me.

Nope. I just watched the talking heads on CNN talking about it.

I have a bit of a (definitely unrequited) crush on Don Lemon.
