Trump just said the people leaving his manufacturing council are doing so

because they are ashamed because he has been embarrassing them about their products being made outside of America. That he has been telling them to bring their product manufacturing back to America. (Yes, he said that with a straight face)

He then went on to say that he only makes statements when he has the facts so his statements will be accurate and true.

He said that in regards to his lame comments on Charlottesville, saying he didn't comment as soon as he could because he wanted to wait for the facts before commenting because he only wants to make factual statements.

Live on MSNBC.

but good people who didn't want the Lee statue to come down.

He is again saying there is blame on both sides.

He said he knew more about what happened in Charlottesville than anyone there. (the Press)

He keeps stressing the legal permit - making the counter-protesters illegal, and therefore wrong.

He has already blamed the victims.

But because his ego compels it, it's all bottled as TRUMP wine, with big gold letters on the label, making it easy to identify and boycott. Here's what one Tweeter had to say about it:




And it appears to be ridiculously overpriced.

He is lashing out because people judged him - rightly.

And now they will judge him even worse.

Rightly.

So he'll lash out even more.

Because he's a disaster as a human.

I guess when David Duke got mad at him for his second comment, Trump got worried he had offended his base.

He claims to have watched the events more closely than the Press - he called them "You people".

He kept calling the Press "Fake News".

Flipped on the TV.
Saw Trump talking about manufacturing. (What could go wrong??? I thought it would be snoozer)
Turned off TV.
Went to the DU Lounge and read about Sea Monkeys. (I had already read every thread in GD)
Came back here
Trump gone off the rails.

43. Trump attacked McCain over health care.
Tue Aug 15, 2017, 05:12 PM
Aug 2017

When asked how he plans to pass infrastructure when he couldn't get health care, Trump said to ask McCain why he voted against it.

The Trump said when asked about Bannon, that Bannon didn't come into the campaign until late - same thing he said about Corey Lewandowski before he was gone. So, Bannon probably isn't long for Trump world.

He also said Bannon wasn't a racist - and that "we'll see" when asked about Bannon's job security more or less. That's a paraphrase of what was said.

Don is not capable of rational thought. Maybe it's senility, maybe he's just stupid, but there are no maybes about whether he's qualified for the position he's in.

He has to - no other way for him to go through life. If he couldn't lie, we'd find him in the corner sucking his thumb.
