Well this appearance by Rice didnt age well. Only a year later, H R. McMaster is now gone. When asked whether he was having trouble with Trump, Rice responded not that I can see. Uh huh, right. Rice paid McMaster all these accolades and Trump fired him in a very humiliating way. As was Rex Tillerson fires by Trump. So just about all the folks Rice mentioned to try to make us feel better about incompetent Trump are now gone.
Rice said all these negative things about North Koreas leader and now Trump is saying we should negotiate with him. Nope, this video and Rices words havent aged well at all.
I wonder how Rice feels about what she said now. How would she spin it away to defend Trump.

(10,148 posts)No substance to her at all. But she does play the piano well and likes leather boots. That's all I remember about her.

(4,533 posts)Reporters never stand a chance with Condi. She has anticipated everything they can say and has carefully calculated in advance the precisely best spin to give back. She was ready when asked about guns to mention her father had a gun to protect them from racists in her Birmingham childhood. She knows fully well that her example does not refute the fact that a gun in your home greatly increases your risk of dying from suicide, accident, murder. She knows fully well that her response misleads people. But she also knows her response was a stone cold spin winner. Exactly the same with her line that the last thing we want to see in our rear view mirror is a mushroom cloud. She knew fully well that the odds Saddam had or would explode a nuclear bomb were basically zero, she knew invasion would increase the odds many many Americans and others would die, but she also knew she had a stone cold spin winner.
Condi with reporters is like Usain Bolt in a race against Donald Trump.
I know she has been a force for evil but I am in awe of her skill.

She is no dummy. It would be a mistake to underestimate her. That also means she has a higher degree of culpability than others if she is using her talents to coverup for evil actions and behavior.
