Wow, Trump was just asked by a reporter

[EarlG]

"Have you asked any foreign governments to investigate any corruption that DOESN'T involve your policial opponents?"

Trump replied: "We'd have to look into that."

(This is from his helicopter presser right now.)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He doesn't care about corruption unless he can use it as an excuse

to smear an opponent. He thrives on corruption as long as it benefits him. The fact that he didn't answer that question by indignantly saying something like: "I have never asked another country for a corruption investigation regarding political opponents!" tells us all we need to know.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

25. when do we point this out clearly?

Let's see his and the Bidens tax returns.

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. I'm roaring with laughter at how he claims to be fighting corruption.

His descent into madness is continuing.

[empedocles]

5. So with you on the laughter

Follow up question should have been - 'JUST ONE EXAMPLE'

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Agreed, though he probably would have ignored that question.

[empedocles]

13. 'probably'??? - let's not go 'wobbly' on trump

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Or he would have lied about it.

My hatred of him has no depths.

[Blue_playwright]

30. I always told my kids to never hate anyone.

Now I’m the one actually hating someone I’ve never met. 🙄

[PatSeg]

36. Same here

I often think I could not hate the man more and then he opens his mouth again.

[greatauntoftriplets]

38. Spanky daily tests the limits of human compassion.

He has no redeeming qualities, though some mistake his supposed wealth for one.

[First Speaker]

43. Maybe he'll join OJ in looking for the Real Killers...

[greatauntoftriplets]

45. That'll keep them both busy for years.

[tblue37]

48. He said, "This is about corruption" about 30 times in that short amount of time. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. To paraphrase Shakespeare, the moron doth protest too much.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. That was a great question. I think it took him by surprise.

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. That is an excellent question!

[Mike 03]

9. +1

[wryter2000]

16. Awesome

To the reporter who thought it up.

[MontanaMama]

6. The MF thinks he's a

crime fighter!

[Disaffected]

11. Superman, Batman

and the Green Hornet all-in-one. Yugeman!

[MontanaMama]

40. Captain Combover!

[magicarpet]

55. Lieutenant Little Mushroom Dick...

[MontanaMama]

57. You win!!

That made me laugh.

[malaise]

8. Great question

[NewJeffCT]

10. that means "no"

it's only related to Biden and maybe Warren

[Yonnie3]

12. "We'd have to look into that," means "I'll make something up later."

I have no words to adequately describe my contempt for this festering pile of orange excrement on the White House Lawn.

[gratuitous]

15. Immediate follow-up: And when do you think you'll look into that, Sir?

He loves it when people call him "Sir."

"Sir, I have it on good authority that the leader of one of our closest allies is a fraud who had to pay $25 million to make a court case go away in his country. Would you be willing to deal with such a proven corrupt leader?"

[maddiemom]

17. Like Marcie to Pepprmint Patty?

[Collimator]

18. He probably didn't hear the question correctly.

Trump doesn't know what it means to read or listen closely. He heard some version of the question in his mind and came up with one of his standard non-answers.

In his mind when he uses phrases like "look into it" it sounds like business saavy, instead of admitting that he doesn't know something.

[LittleGirl]

28. He's a fraud.

It’s all scripted! That’s what they get for electing an idiot like 45.

He’s the worst human on the planet.

Everybody knows that!
The whole world knows that.

How much evidence do you need?

[JonLP24]

35. I watched the press conference and believe he heard it correctly

We'd have to look into (other than political opponents)

[GusBob]

56. He has pat answers to things he does not understand

You are correct

He also uses “we’ll see what happens”

[ffr]

19. B - U - R - N

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Insane that the press participates in these copter

Conferences. Public can't hear questions and allows his full diatribes and obfuscation. Why? Demand a quiet setting press. You are playing right into his tiny hands.

[packman]

22. The WH staff probably INSISTED on the helo press sessions

Gives them an out -"He couldn't understand the question due to the noise" or "You misunderstood him because of the background noise"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. Exactly! So why not just say no? He wants that

Forum to spread his propaganda. Deny the undeniable!

[bluecollar2]

44. The reason he does it while the APU is running

In the background is because his aides think it makes him look like a "man of action.."

You know, I've got "gummintin stuff to do ya'll"...I'm a busy man. Helicopter is waitin' on me...I'm very important etc...

Press should just ask...

"Are we winning yet?"....and then just let him run his mouth...

[Ilsa]

21. Did he ask any foreign govts to investigate Epstein?

Start with that one.

Then ask if he asked Qatar to investigate Jared getting bailout money for 666 Park Ave., of their own free will.

Next?

[58Sunliner]

33. +1,000

[certainot]

23. right?

[peggysue2]

24. LOL. It's all about the corruption

Who is he kidding beyond his cult followers.

This is like a wolf swearing he/she is a vegetarian. It's laughable. Until it's not. Which would be now as we push through the endless nightmare.

[SoCalDem]

61. Someone needs to ask him if he's so interested in looking for corruption

Has he ever looked in a mirror??? or at family photos???

[mainstreetonce]

27. When he was a candidate

The person he wanted locked up was Hillary,his opponent
Did he begin the investigation of Bidens before or after Joe announced he was running?

[SummerSnow]

29. Did Trump call the reporter a racist for asking that question. He tends to do that.lol

[kentuck]

31. "Well, no....would you like some grey poupon?"

[BSdetect]

32. k&r

[Takket]

34. HAHAHA great question!!!

Promote that report whoever they are.

[Blue Owl]

37. Fighting corruption with corruption

n/t

[barbtries]

39. i guess his motto is go big or go home.

i hope we can send him home, preferably in prison among the general population (he'd probably start a new cult there).

[Nitram]

41. Great question! Love the answer, too. Obviously it is something that never crossed his mind.

Investigate your own party? Whatever for? Investigations are for damaging or incapacitating your opponents.

[AtheistCrusader]

42. They need to start asking if he'll resign if he's found guilty.

That ought to make him blow a gasket.

[Cha]

46. Put that on the Impeachment Inquiries

evidence list!

The braying lunatic is so Stupid!

[Skittles]

47. aw come on EarlG, give the man a break

the pussy grabbing con man is working hard, FIGHTING CORRUPTION!!!

[keithbvadu2]

49. "We'd have to look into that. What happened to his great memory?

"We'd have to look into that.

What happened to his great memory?

[Soph0571]

50. Good grief, he is a special kinda of special nt

[Maraya1969]

51. That is what we need! Put that man on the spot reporters. I think they have such a serious and

powerful position in the country now.

[cwydro]

53. Great question from the reporter!

Rec.

[WyattKansas]

54. Didn't the 'Stable Genius' go batshit looney on President Obama after the last election...

Because the 'Stable Genius' lit up all the National Security Agency warning lights by himself with his Russian Corruption and he couldn't erase the record when he got in office?

Didn't Moscow Mitch even purposely block any and all reporting that the 'Stable Genius' might be corrupted by Russia before the 2016 Election?

[Zambero]

58. A very easy call for the "we"

Nothing and no one whatsoever to "look into".

[NCLefty]

59. Colbert calls that "Chopper Talk!" :p

And I like how he needs "we" (multiple people?) to look into whether HE asked this--which is what the question actually was.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

62. Probably he's using the royal we.

Medieval style.

[Tactical Peek]

60. "If you give me a week, I might think of one."

[FailureToCommunicate]

63. KnR

[brewens]

64. I was remembering when a company called Harkin Energy gave away half a million per year

to George H.W. Bush's boy. Plus a bunch in stock that he sold acting on insider trading information. He should have been busted for that.

So far, I'm thinking they won't find anything illegal going on with Biden and his boy, but I've always thought that kind of thing was bullshit. If republicans want to propose legislation to keep our leaders kids from trading on their parents names, I suppose I'd be all for it. I kind of doubt they would do that.

[W T F]

65. We already have looked into it.....the answer is no
