Trump Snaps at Stephanopoulos: 'You're Being a Little Wise Guy, Okay, Which is Typical for You'

ABC News has released more interview footage between President Donald Trump and Good Morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos Friday morning in which the commander in chief appears to dismiss his former White House counsel Don McGahn as “confused,” and claimed it “doesn’t matter” what he told Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

After Stephanopoulos followed up by asking about McGahn’s testimony, Trump offered “I don’t care what he says, it doesn’t matter.”

Stephanopoulos later asked, “Why would [McGahn] lie under oath?”

“Because he wanted to make himself look like a good lawyer,” Trump said. “Or he believed it because I would constantly tell anybody that would listen — including you, including the media — that Robert Mueller was conflicted. Robert Mueller had a total conflict of interest.”

The heated exchange also included Trump hitting back after Stephanopoulos asked why he didn’t answer Mueller’s questions under oath, telling the GMA anchor “Look, George, you’re being a little wise guy, okay, which is typical for you. Just so you understand, very simple, it is very simple, there was no crime.”

1. Trump, (it is) "very simple, it is very simple, there was no crime."

IOW you can bet your last dollar there was a crime there.


BTW can Trump be more mob like? He is "a little wise guy."

9. Trump also told us yesterday that the Queen of England is from the U.K. too.

12. Yes, if Donny says something

he's either projecting his faults onto others or you believe the opposite.

2. Is it too hard

for these people interviewing him to say, "look. You are a lying scumbag piece of shit. Go fuck yourself and take your fucking boot licking, racist and bigoted Republican party and it's worthless magat supporters and drive off a fucking cliff. This interview is over."?

I mean, most of these people who interview him have made plenty of money by now. They don't need to continue working anymore. Be brave!

15. Telling other people to throw their jobs away is mighty brave.

3. I think the word 'prick' was invented with don in mind.

5. That's a keeper

[TheBlackAdder]

10. A very very tiny prick.

[gratuitous]

4. If McGahn lied . . .

Why doesn't Trump get sworn in and testify to set the record straight? Reminds me of the old lawyer story where the defense attorney says he has a surprise witness that will exonerate his client of all charges. With a dramatic lead-up, he says that his mystery witness will come through the courtroom door . . . right . . . about . . . NOW! All eyes in the courtroom go to the door, but nobody comes in. The defense lawyer crows, "See? All of you expected to see that witness come through the door. That's reasonable doubt that my client committed the crime! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you must vote to acquit." One of the jurors speaks up and says, "While everyone was watching the door, counselor, I was watching your client. He couldn't have looked more disinterested in the entrance of your mystery witness. He obviously knew nobody was coming through that door. I'm going to vote to convict."

6. boy he just never stops

with the shitty attitude and crap he shoves out. What a fucking bully??? I hate the jerk. Hate.

8. I know this is a hard question for the cultists. But, why is it that every other crony of his

is either a "liar", "criminal", "all around terrible person", etc, etc, etc? But somehow Fat Nixon is the most ethical "human being" to ever occupy the WH.

How is it that all these scumbags end up working for him? What happened to the "best people"? And why the fuck is anyone not asking him this when he's slumping in front of them?

[spanone]

11. You'd think Mr. McGahn would want to set the record straight. Will he take this without reply?

They must hand over their testicles when they go to work for this clown.

[cwydro]

16. Is that where courage comes from? Testicles?

Wonder where Pelosi gets hers.

Or RBG, or numerous others I could mention.

Testicles. Pfft.

13. No wonder his family chose only this child to send away to military school . The discipline and

order did nothing it appears and because of $$$ people have groveled and been subservient to him
since then . Yet somehow cocky lying asshole was what a large sector of this country voted for
Spoiled jerk - Outside of the country do people see him as a symbol of what America is?
Is our country viewed as an international bully with him at the head?

[Bayard]

14. About this interview....

The first thing I noticed is Stephanopoulos hovering beside tRump's desk, like some kind of supplicant.

Wonder whose choice that was?
