he blames it on those who are paid to ask him questions.

this is the problem of a business man who never had to answer to anyone.

if he had to answer to a board of directors, he'd be homeless.

Man in Hostage Video Forced to Recite Words Not His Own


WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A disturbing hostage video surfaced on Monday showing an American man woodenly reciting words that were not his own.

The video, which was broadcast on all the major news networks, raised concerns for the man, whose robotic performance indicated that he was reading a prepared statement under duress.

While the man appeared well fed and, to a certain extent, healthy, his facial expressions and body language convinced experts that the act of reciting the prepared text was an extraordinary ordeal for him.

Harland Dorrinson, a forensic psychologist, compared the man’s performance with hours of earlier footage of him and said that the man had “never expressed these sentiments before.”

I watched him and he read it like he does everything he has to read but doesn't want to say. So hostage is apt.

made not out of any belief in those remarks, but rather to appease the "Fake News Media".

And that is only because someone in his White House figured out that he might not last much longer as pResident if he didn't condemn the KKK and the Nazis.

If you just came out and unequivocally said. "I condemn the actions and ideology of White Nationalism, and White Supremacy espoused by the KKK and Neo Nazis that was on display this weekend in Charlottesville. Furthermore, the idea of White Supremacy is an affront to the ideals of the United States of America and anyone attempting to promote or defend that ideology is engaging in unAmerican behavior."

That would satisfy all decent people, but you would lose your most loyal supporters and you know it you orange buffoon. So, instead you whine.

Everybody except his most faithful supporters are disgusted.

I swear, someday he'll have an applause machine installed in Trump Tower. When he loses everyone he'll still have the machine.

Oh wait that lack of satisfaction was okay when you were in with the "fake" media.

It took him days to denounce NAZIs and wonders why his half-hearted denouncement when it came wasn't enough. How's his lack of sincerity and action the media's fault?

I don't have a lot of hope for his base, but let us get the metrics on how far he has to go before congressional republicans abandon him.
